Alex Scott, who works in Qatar for the BBC, appears to have received a reprimand after promoting a clothing brand on his social media channels while working for the broadcaster.
The 38-year-old former England footballer is a brand ambassador for Reiss and posted an image on Instagram of herself working at a match, tagging the company in the shot.

A BBC spokesperson said: “We have spoken to Alex who has removed the tag and will not repeat this.”

While the BBC presenter was not believed to have a business relationship with the brands, a source told The Times that he would no longer accept third-party gifts.
