This sparked concern for his health among worried BBC viewers who took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts.
One viewer wrote online: “I hope Clive Myrie is ok. Many of us are noticing his droopy eye.”
Another added: “What about Clive Myrie’s left eye?”
A third went on to write: “Is Clive Myrie ok? His eye is falling out.”
While a fourth echoed, “What’s wrong with Clive Myrie’s eye tonight?”
Despite the concerns, the BBC confirmed to The Sun that Clive is fine despite fans’ concerns.
A BBC spokesman told The Sun: “Clive is fine and just has an eye infection.”
Clive, who earns a BBC salary of £310,000, has been a regular on BBC News bulletins for years.
As well as anchoring corporate news, he presented his own BBC Two travel series exploring his Caribbean culture, as well as hosting the quiz show Mastermind.
Last year Clive came under fire for failing to declare at least £145,000 in extra earnings from the Beeb.

He blamed “administrative issues” for not reporting his accounts to an external event register.
