The BBC has revealed the salaries of its on-air talent earning over £150,000.
Claudia Winkleman, Vanessa Feltz and Zoe Ball all feature in the corporation’s list of highest-earning talent, with all three earning over £350,000.
It’s the first time that three women have featured in the top 10 since it was first published in 2017.
Gary Lineker and Chris Evans top the list of the highest-paid BBC stars again, with both presenters earning over £1m.
Of the 75 presenters listed, 60% were men, down from 65% when the list was first published in 2017.
The stars’ salaries are published as part of the BBC’s Annual Report and includes correspondents and presenters who earned more than £150,000 between April 2018 and March 2019.
The list does not give an entirely full picture – some actors and presenters who work for BBC Studios, the corporation’s commercial arm, are not included. That means that stars from shows including Top Gear and Doctor Who are absent from the list.
The figures also reveal that some male stars – including Jeremy Vine, John Humphrys and Steve Wright – have taken substantial pay cuts, with Vine down £150,000 from his total the previous year.
New entries include BBC Breakfast’s Louise Minchin on £205,000 and news presenter Clive Myrie on £200,000, while risers include Jo Whiley (up around £100,000) and Lauren Laverne (up around £75,000).
