That's a good point regarding the GHR ad - the BBC has a rule against talent appearing in commercials that directly mimic their BBC roles. See also, the issues around Nick Knowles doing a Shreddies advert in his DIY SOS persona. So whilst it may not have been a direct factor in all this, I can imagine Ken Bruce doing a commercial for GHR whilst still working on the BBC might have been a controversy in waiting.
