The BBC broadcaster Clive Myrie has apologised for failing to declare at least £145,000 earned from external events and said he would stop doing them for the “foreseeable future”.

The presenter blamed the error on “several administrative issues” and said he would not take part in paid events outside his BBC role, except for some pre-existing commitments.
