HE’S ON £130,000 – A WEEK!
THE record £86,000 fine will hardly put a dent in Ant McPartlin’s multimillion-pound fortune.
The ITV presenter earns £130,000 a week – £6.7million a year – for his work alongside co-host Declan Donnelly on shows including Britain’s Got Talent, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and Ant And Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. The pair have built up a estimated combined fortune of £50million over their 0-year TV career and between them own several properties in the UK and abroad.
McPartlin’s fine had been set at oneand-a-half times his weekly earnings, but he was given credit for entering a guilty plea and it was reduced to £86,000, with a £170 surcharge.
His lawyer told magistrates that McPartlin would be able to pay the full amount in ‘two to five days’.
