STRICTLY

Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly (above) and her husband, All Star Family Fortunes host Vernon Kay, were paid an estimated £37,000 to conduct the inaugural British Takeaway Awards last week.

Meanwhile, BBC News presenter Huw Edwards presented the annual Concrete Society Awards in London. His usual fee is said to be £15,000.

Wouldn’t it be an encouragement to the rest of us to give generously if the BBC’s extravagantly rewarded star broadcasters were seen pledging some of their lavish outside earnings to the Corporation’s Children In Need appeal?
