BBC stars 'humiliated' as broadcaster is set to release top talent's wages

Daily Mail  

BBC stars are said to be 'humiliated' at the Corporation's move to release pay details of its top talent in £10,000 pay brackets in an upcoming report. Strictly Come Dancing presenters, Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly will not be included on the list as their show is now run by BBC Studios However, a third of the names that earn above the £150,000 threshold won't be included on the list to be released in Wednesday's report as they star on programmes made by BBC studios - which is now a commercial entity. Fiona Bruce £350,000 - £399,999 The loophole means the salaries of stars such as Claudia Winkleman, the BBC's highest earning woman, will become a secret. Chris Evans and Gary Lineker are the BBC's two highest paid stars, both on salaries of more than £1.75million Fiona Bruce, the tenth best paid star at the BBC, is expected to fall down the list as her salary from Antiques Roadshow will not be included, but her work as a news anchor will 'Transparency will effectively lead to a rate card where they 'pay the chair' instead of the presenter' they told the Sunday Telegraph.
