Male Today hosts at odds over pay gap

Justin Webb, one of the hosts of the Today programme on Radio 4, says it is not just women who have been unfairly treated by the BBC. Yesterday at the Cheltenham Literary Festival he questioned why his colleague Nick Robinson is paid £100,000 more to do “essentially the same job”.

Charlotte Hawkins, the Good Morning Britain host, failed to impress the judges on Strictly Come Dancing with a wedding-themed routine to Marry You by Bruno Mars, with partner Brendan Cole. She is the third celebrity to be kicked off the show.
