Nine jobs, Gary! How do you find the extra time?

As BBC’s highest-paid star lands yet another role...

HE’S the highest-earning ‘talent’ at the BBC and is kicking off another season of Match Of The Day this weekend – part of a starring role at the Corporation that earns him £1.36million a year.

Now Gary Lineker, 60, has scored another big payday over at rival team ITV as host of a new gameshow – with the rather appropriate title Sitting On A Fortune.

It’s just another job up front for the former goalscorer at Leicester, Spurs and Barcelona who, since retiring from football in 1994, has transformed himself into one of television’s most sought-after presenters.

Becoming a gameshow host will mean Lineker now has nine jobs.

Apart from his high-profile presenting roles, he features in big-brand television advertising campaigns and also runs a TV production company – which he uses to sell even more of his work to the BBC.

It’s certainly a big fixture list to juggle and it all got us thinking – how does Gary find the extra time to do all this…
