Clive Myrie, known as the host of TV show Mastermind, has a wife who is not often seen in the limelight. The esteemed presenter and journalist has been a familiar face on television screens since 1996, leading programs such as Mastermind and Celebrity Mastermind. Additionally, he has been the face of various daily news shows, election broadcasts, and annual BBC celebrations.

Behind the scenes, Clive shares a loving relationship with his wife, Catherine. The couple first crossed paths in the early 1990s at a book launch event where Catherine, who was then working in the publishing industry, caught Clive’s eye. They tied the knot in 1998 at a ceremony held at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Covent Garden, shortly after Clive was appointed as the BBC’s LA correspondent.

Despite their differing personalities, with Clive being more public and Catherine more reserved, they have found harmony in their relationship. While they had initially planned to start a family, their love for travel and the challenges they faced in conceiving led them to decide against having children. Instead, they find joy in their extended family and cherish their time with nephews and nieces.

In a recent revelation, Clive shared that Catherine had been battling a lung infection during the Christmas period. This health challenge influenced their holiday plans, preventing them from seeing elderly family members due to the risks associated with viral infections. The couple opted for a quieter Christmas at home, focusing on Catherine’s recovery.

For those interested in catching Clive Myrie on Mastermind, the show airs on BBC Two and iPlayer on Mondays at 7.30pm.
