Gary still top earner
SPORTS presenter Gary Lineker is still the BBC’s highest earning on-air talent, despite last year agreeing to a pay reduction of around £400,000.
Zoe Ball remains the broadcaster’s second highest paid talent after requesting a pay cut when agreeing a new two-year deal as Radio 2’s breakfast host.
The corporation’s annual report for 2020/21 shows Match Of The Day host Lineker’s pay has fallen from £1.75 million to £1.36 million.
