- Cardiff-Born TV presenter Gethin Jones has been reminded of strict BBC guidelines after wearing watches from Clogau, a brand he represents, while presenting Morning Live.
- BBC editorial guidelines state presenters 'must not appear on-air wearing clothing or using products or services which they have been contracted to promote.' Jones reportedly wore a £550 Clogau model over 30 times on the program, most recently on Wednesday.
- A long-standing ambassador for the Welsh heritage brand, Jones has featured in numerous advertisements alongside model Nikki Chislett. He wore other timepieces including a £420 watch during his eight-month period on the show.
- BBC Studios spokesperson confirmed Gethin has been reminded of these guidelines regarding commercial activities. The broadcaster previously reprimanded Monty Don and Shirley Ballas for similar breaches of promotional policies.
- Editorial rules also forbid promotional work from attempting to 'imitate, suggest a reference or connection to or pass off BBC content.' These regulations maintain the broadcaster's impartiality and independence from commercial influence.
