Caroline Daniel reportedly advanced by Sharp for role as adviser on editorial standards and impartiality
, is facing a fresh row after reportedly helping a close friend land a paid role advising the corporation on editorial standards and impartiality.of up to £800,000 in 2020. Sharp was appointed as BBC chair weeks later in 2021. He is awaiting the result of an investigation by Adam Heppinstall KC, who was tasked by the government with re-examining Sharp’s appointment process.
The Sunday Times quoted an anonymous source close to the review as saying: “Other people were uncomfortable about their relationship – they felt she was being shoehorned into the review … However, it was useful having her perspective.” In June, the chair also reportedly endorsed Daniel’s appointment to another role, this time as an external editorial adviser to the BBC. He did not state their friendship publicly nor in his declaration of personal interests, which was published a month later. Sharp also failed to recuse himself from deliberations over Daniel’s appointment at the BBC’s nominations committee, which he chairs.
The ceremony was officiated by Lucy Winkett, who regularly appears on Thought for the Day on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. After the wedding at St James’s Piccadilly in London, the reception was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, for which Sharp was once chair of trustees.
