Shining example?

In the midst of the BBC pay storm was a stick of dynamite that no one seemed to notice.

How DID Gary Barlow wangle his own prime-time Saturday night talent series – Let It Shine – and get paid a hefty £200,000-£249,000 for EIGHT shows, so that he could look for a male-only cast for his own West End show, which will presumably make him even more money?

Fellow judge Dannii Minogue was paid the same, equal to the salary of the without-equal, ever-present BBC Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg.

I don’t understand. Maybe I’m thick. That’ll be the reason I’m not paid as much as them. Probably.
