Clive Myrie, a longstanding figure at the BBC since 1996, has become a cherished presenter across a wide array of programs. From anchoring news bulletins and covering election nights to hosting the prestigious quiz show Mastermind and its celebrity spin-offs, Myrie has become a familiar face in British households. He’s also a beloved part of BBC traditions, such as the festive BBC Proms, adding depth to his varied career in broadcasting.

Myrie’s work isn’t confined to the studio. He has also embraced travel journalism, hosting his series Clive Myrie’s Italian Road Trip, which led him to explore the sights, sounds, and history of Italy’s famed cities. The series was well-received, and as a testament to its success, it has been renewed for a second season, this time focusing on the rich culture of the Caribbean.

Born to Jamaican parents, Myrie brings a global perspective to his journalism. Throughout his career, he has reported from locations worldwide, delivering news from the frontlines, including his prominent coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. His reports from Ukraine reached viewers across the globe, showcasing his dedication to frontline journalism. But beyond his role as a prominent broadcaster, there’s a quieter story—his life beyond the camera.

Reflecting on his relationship with his wife, Catherine, Myrie describes their initial meeting as “love at first sight.” The couple married six years later in London at the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Covent Garden. Shortly after their wedding, however, Myrie had to travel to the U.S. to take up his role as the BBC’s Los Angeles correspondent, delaying their honeymoon plans. Eventually, they managed to celebrate on the stunning coast of Maracaibo in Venezuela.

Through his impressive career and vibrant personal life, Clive Myrie remains an inspiring figure, balancing a demanding job in journalism with his dedication to family and global storytelling.
