BBC journalist Clive Myrie is feeling unsettled after receiving a death threat that described the specific bullet that would end his life.

Clive Myrie, the beloved BBC presenter, recently received a chilling death threat that left him shaken and scared. The threat came from a man who described in detail the bullet he planned to use to kill Myrie. The 59-year-old journalist has gained popularity in recent years, taking over as host of Mastermind in 2021 and continuing his work as a presenter on BBC News. He is also set to co-anchor the network's coverage of the 2024 general election alongside Laura Kuenssberg.

Myrie bravely shared his experience on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, hosted by Lauren Laverne. He explained how, since becoming a more prominent figure on television, he has faced vile and frightening abuse. This has included receiving faeces in the mail, cards with racist imagery, and emails telling him he shouldn't be on TV and criticizing his appearance.

But the most disturbing incident was when a man issued death threats against Myrie, which ultimately led to his arrest and prosecution. The man had a history of firearms offenses, and Myrie couldn't help but wonder what this individual might have been planning to do to him.

Although he initially brushed off the threat as mere bravado, Myrie couldn't shake off the feeling of fear and vulnerability. As he prepares to co-anchor the 2024 general election coverage, he admits to feeling pressure and excitement. He hopes to make the event not only informative but also enjoyable for viewers, regardless of their level of interest in politics.

Myrie sees this opportunity as a chance to be on the front line of British politics, and he hopes to convey the energy and significance of the election to viewers. As he takes on this new challenge, Myrie is also reminded of the dangers and risks that come with being in the public eye. But despite the fear and uncertainty, he remains determined to do his job and inspire others to do the same.
