  • Two gay men appear in BBC top paid talent, no other LGBT representation

    BBC has released its top earners and two gay men are featured in the top 10. The top-earning lesbian doesn’t feature.

    The BBC’s gender pay gap has been released and shows that the top 12 earners are all still men, with Graham Norton (up to £609,000) and Nick Grimshaw (up to £409,000) featuring in the top 10. Further down the list of the top 22 earners include two other openly gay men, Scott Mills (up to £289,000) and Evan Davis (up to £259,000)

    There are no out women or trans people in the top 20. The highest paid LGB woman is Clare Balding who is now reported to be earing up to £189,000. Last year the BBC reported that she was earning up between £150,000 and £199,000.

    The list released by the BBC features talent and staff who are paid directly by the BBC and earn over £150,000.

    Norton’s wage was reduced from up to £899,000 in this new list, while Nick Grimshaw’s wage has actually increased from up to £399,000.

    Last year the BBC used multiples of £50,000 to denote its staff’s salary rather than give accurate figures, this year that has been deceased to multiples of £10,000.

  • Nick Grimshaw’s radio rating slip even further

    The Radio 1 presenter’s morning show isn’t doing great.

    Since taking over the morning slot at Radio 1 in 2012, Nick Grimshaw‘s audience has slowly shed hundreds of thousands of listeners – but BBC bosses still maintain that Radio 1 is “the most relevant youth brand in the UK today”.

    Nick’s figures are the lowest for any Radio 1 breakfast show since Rajar, the research body who collects audience data, began. At its peak, the Radio 1 morning show, presented by Chris Moyles managed to reach 7.06 million listeners.

    Between July and September this year, the show had 4.93 million weekly listeners, down from 5.5 million listeners for the same period the year before.

    Controller Ben Cooper said that there was still a 10.5 million weekly listenership for the station, across all its output and that Radio 1 had 9.4 million subscribers on social media and 5 million YouTube subscribers.

    Traditionally listener figures are always lower in the summer months as people tend to be away on holiday or have different routines compared to the rest of the year.

    According to the BBC, a source at Radio 1 said, “Teens are addicted to their phones so you can see why Radio 1 does so well on YouTube and Facebook.”

    Big Earner

    Nick Grimshaw is open of the top earners at the BBC. Earlier this year it was revealed that Nick earns up to £399,999 for his roles at the publicly funded broadcaster.

    Earlier this year it was revealed that Nick Grimshaw was one of a handful of openly gay staff at the BBC to earn more than £150,000. Whilst Graham Norton topped the earner’s list with a salary of up to £899,999, Nick Grimshaw earns up to £399,999 per year for his roles at the BBC.

  • Handful of gay and lesbian talent in BBC’s highest paid staff

    Just over a handful of openly LGB stars are paid more than £150,000 per year the BBC’s annual report reveals.

    Graham Norton, who hosts the Eurovision and his own show on the BBC takes the top slot earning somewhere between £850,000 and £899,999 after the BBC released its annual report today. For the first time it includes the salaries taken by some of its biggest stars. Graham was followed by Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw who earns between £350,000 and £399,999 per year. His fellow presenter Scott Mills earns £100,000 less.

    The BBC used multiples of £50,000 to denote its staff’s salary rather than give accurate figures.

    Elsewhere, Strictly Come Dancing‘s judges Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood are not equally compensated for their stints on the show. Horwood takes home up to £199,999 whilst Bruno trumps with a take home of up to £299,999.

    There are no openly trans stars paid over £150,000 on the BBC’s books.

    Clare Balding was the only openly lesbian to be featured on the list and she takes home up to £199,999.

    Overall 96 on-air stars were featured in the new annual report from the corporation.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini joins the panel despite being voted by Heat readers as the panellist they’d least like to see return.

  • Harry Styles And Nick Grimshaw #FirstSnog Pictures

    Now that we’ve got your attention…

    Okay, okay, that was cruel we know, we know!

    You were expecting to see Harry and Nick having a #FirstSnog, but we thought this was a brilliant idea to let you know about Stonewall’s 25th year!

    Harry Styles and the openly gay radio DJ Nick Grimshaw have had a long standing friendship and are often spotted together, which has caused many a tabloid to speculate on the nature of their relationship.

    Last year Nick Grimshaw has denied that Harry has been having sleepovers at his, and both have denied a romantic relationship!

    Nick and Harry are just some of the many celebrities who have lent their faces to a new Selfie campaign for Stonewall.

    Yesterday Stonewall and SNOG Frozen Yoghurt launched a joint campaign to celebrate 25 years of the lesbian, gay and bisexual equality charity and look forward to the next 25 years. The #FirstSNOG campaign, an online interactive photo exhibition, will celebrate Stonewall’s 25 years of campaigning so that lesbian, gay and bisexual people are free to love and be loved.

    The exhibition, which already features famous supporters of Stonewall including Harry Styles, Rita Ora, Sam Smith, Nick Grimshaw, Calvin Klein, Florence Welsh, Boy George and Katy B – can be viewed here:http://instagram.com/snogfrozenyogurt.

    Ruth Hunt, Acting Chief Executive of Stonewall, said: ‘In our 25th year we know that there’s still so much work to do. Around the world in countries like Russia, Nigeria and Uganda, LGBT people are being oppressed and persecuted simply because of who they are. We’re excited to collaborate with SNOG to help us continue to campaign for LGBT equality around the world.’

    As well as raising awareness, SNOG is helping Stonewall to raise funds via their London based shops where a special Stonewall serving, featuring a selection of rainbow coloured fruits, will be available for the duration of the Stonewall 25 celebration. A donation of £3 can be made to Stonewall by texting ‘SNOG’ to 70300, with proceeds going towards the charity’s continued international work.
