  • 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.

    Greg Rutherford‘s bum has become a national talking point and it all started last week when his bottom became the subject of a both criticism and praise for being so muscly.

    The show’s host, Tess Daly, even joked that the women next to her were saying “nice bum” whilst Greg was whirling around the dance floor with his partner Natalie Lowe.

    After last week’s discussion about Greg’s toosh, the theme continued when Judge Len Goodman took the opportunity to tell the Olympian that his “bum was going to town”.

    But it was the openly gay judge Bruno who ramped up the flirting, shouting,

    “Keep going tiger… oooh Hurricane Greg.

    “ooh, you are an animal with a butt of marble.”

    With his eyes rolled to the ceiling, Bruno revealed he simply couldn’t take his eyes off Greg’s perky assets. “I don’t know why!” he quipped.

    The flirting all started when Greg rather coyly gave Bruno his candy floss.

    Which clearly made the judge’s day.

    Is Bruno Tonioli gay?

    The simple answer to this is yes. The Italian dancer, choreographer and TV personality Bruno Tonioli is openly gay. In previous interviews, he has spoken candidly about how he was homophobically bullied as a child and joked that he was the “only gay” in his village. As a child, Bruno was more interested in going to musicals rather than playing football like the other boys in his village. He said that he was frightened and that he assumed that he was the only gay in his hometown.

    Speaking to The Mirror in 2005 he said,

    “When I was 10, I knew there was something different about me,

    “Everyone was football-mad but I just wanted to watch musicals and see art.

    “It was frightening. I really WAS the only gay in the village. I was labelled ‘the queenie guy’ and ‘the queer’, which was the worst thing you could be told in Italy in those days.

    Despite knowing that he was different to others, the topic of homosexuality and coming out to his family was totally off limits.

    “When I was growing up, Catholics didn’t talk about sex – it was taboo,” he says.

    “To my mum I was never gay. It was not in the realm of things my parents could compute. I was never even tempted to bring up the subject.

    The Olympian Greg Rutherford and dance partner Natalie performed a sizzling tango on last night’s Strictly Come Dancing, but the instead of the critiquing his dancing ability Craig Revel Horwood and the rest of the judges were quick to judge his butt rather than his footwork. Craig even went as far as to say it was “attractive”.

    However it was Bruno Toniol who had the most praise for Greg’s bottom, saying,

    “What a handsome man, look at that! And a handsome tango. You were going like a locomotive at full speed – and I love that,

    “The bum, I don’t mind at all. I’m sorry people!”

    Len Goodman was the first to point out that Greg’s rather toned butt was on the “large” size, to which the medal winning sports star replied it was good for jumping with.

    Earlier in the week, Craig Revel Horwood joked that he might be up for a relationship with a woman after his previous relationship went sour.  Speaking to the Loose Women panel,  he said wouldn’t put himself “out of any department” when asked if he would date women after splitting with his partner, Damon Scott back in May.

    The outspoken dance judge, who’s currently starring in BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, said that he was loving the single life and joked with the panel that the next person he’d like to date would be “honest and doesn’t sell stories on you”.
