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.
