I am wondering if my sentence sounds natural.

The president caused a scandal by suggesting the attractive TV host in a live broadcast she could join his team whenever she got bored with her current job on TV.

I was going to add "[that]" but changed my mind. In BrE, it's OK without it.

I would say:

The President caused a scandal by suggesting to the attractive TV host on a live broadcast that if she ever got bored with her current job that she could join his team.

I'd replace the second "that" with a comma.
