He has now been forced to leave. Mr Myrie published his thoughts on the terrible Russian invasion on social media, according to the Mirror.
Clive wrote: “It was a long, day of driving and queuing to get out of Kyiv. Imagine having to leave all you know in a hurry because you’re being shelled! What do you pack? Do pets come too? It’s cold and you pray those in neighbouring countries will welcome you, not despise you!
“My thoughts are with the 1million who’ve fled #Ukraine because they might be killed. The millions who fled #syria and many other millions escaping repression, poverty, war. They all pray they’ll be welcomed in other countries as human beings. That’s all they ask 2/2 #refugees.”

Twitter users shared their heartbreak over his reflection on the situation, with one writing: “Heart is breaking for everyone. I wish I could do something but am stuck in Middle England feeling so ashamed of our government. Hugging our dog and girls extra tight every night feeling extraordinarily grateful. But for the grace…#UkraineRussianWar #IStandWithUkraine.”
While another commented: “I cry every day. I think about everyone first thing through tonight. I know this may sound strange, but I almost feel guilty for having a warm home, hot food, drinking wine & lay in bed thinking. I wish they were all doing the same. We sleep, they fight.
