I’m trying to copy a bitmap image from photoshop to illustrator and the colour in illustrator of the image is changes.
It is CMYK colour in both photoshop and illustrator.
I expected the CMYK values to be the same in both applications.

Sounds like you need to set up your Color Management so that both programs are using the same profile. When this is done correctly, the file will look identical in each.

How is the color changing?
Are the values the same? Check and see.
As long as the values are correct, how it looks on the computer screen doesn’t matter for CMYK. The cyan plate prints cyan, the black prints black, etc.

The values changed after I pasted the image from Photo shop to Illustrator. The colors were correct when I saved the file in Photo shop and opened it in Illustrator.
It was only copying to the clipboard that changed the color values.

That’s not the way to do it. Save it in Photoshop as a .psd file and then use File>place to put it in an Illustrator file.
