BBC host apologises after failing to declare Island earnings

A BBC TV host has apologised after failing to declare £145,000 in earnings to the corporation - including an event on the Isle of Man.

60 year old Clive Myrie presented GreenTalks Live for the Isle of Man's Energy and Sustainability Centre last year, one of 28 events he didn't tell the BBC about.

He's now blamed administrative issues and says he won't take part in paid events except for existing commitments.

BBC rules say the news presenter should have reported his outside earnings to the UK broadcaster.
