BBC 'Highest Earners' List Published
Top-Earning Presenters
Fiona Bruce, Annita McVeigh, Jeremy Vine, and Gary Lineker among those earning over £150,000
The BBC has published the salaries of its highest-paid stars as part of its annual report. The report reveals that several presenters earned over £150,000 in the 2020-2021 financial year, including Fiona Bruce, Annita McVeigh, Jeremy Vine, and Gary Lineker.
Bruce, who hosts BBC News at Ten and Antiques Roadshow, is the highest-paid female presenter at the BBC. She earns between £350,000 and £400,000 per year. McVeigh, who hosts BBC Breakfast, earns between £250,000 and £300,000 per year. Vine, who hosts BBC Radio 2's Drivetime show, earns between £200,000 and £250,000 per year. Lineker, who hosts Match of the Day and BBC Sport's coverage of major football tournaments, earns between £1.3 million and £1.4 million per year.
The publication of the salaries has sparked a debate about the pay gap between male and female presenters at the BBC. Some critics have argued that the BBC should do more to ensure that women are paid fairly, while others have defended the pay gap, arguing that it is justified by the different levels of experience and audience reach between male and female presenters.
