BBC's Clive Myrie discovers jaw-dropping family secret after taking wife to Jamaica
manchestereveningnews.co.ukBBC presenter Clive Myrie has revealed a startling family revelation that surfaced when he visited Jamaica with his wife. The secret came to light during an unearthed discussion on the Desperately Seeking Wisdom podcast, where Myrie recounted to Craig Oliver how the events unfolded while he was in the Caribbean with his wife, Catherine Myrie.
