It’s been reported that Clive Myrie was removed from presenting BBC Ten O’Clock News because of some jokes he’d made about Boris Johnson during Have I Got News For You.
The journalist was axed from last Friday’s show in a last minute change to schedule because of concerns of content chief Charlotte Moore. She was worried about accusations of Myrie’s anti-Tory bias which had arisen from some jibes he’d come out with while he hosted the BBC comedy show earlier that night.
Myrie, 58, made various jokes about the ex PM during the show, one of which was: “After being found by the House of Commons committee to have lied repeatedly, Boris Johnson takes the opportunity to deny that he’s ever been jogging or has a dog," Myrie said over footage of Boris jogging with his dog.
