BBC pay: The 2018-19 list of star salaries
- Published
The BBC has published the latest list of its highest-paid stars later as part of its annual report.
Some stars have had pay increases, while others have dropped down the list and there are also some new joiners.
Bear in mind that not all earnings are published - for example, Zoe Ball's earnings for Strictly: It Takes Two are not included, as that is produced by BBC Studios, which is classed as a commercial entity.
The stars of other high profile programmes produced by BBC Studios - such as Top Gear and Doctor Who - are also missing for the same reason.
Here's a list of the biggest earners at the BBC in 2018-19:
Gary Lineker - £1,750,000-£1,754,999
Match of the Day, Sports Personality of the Year and World Cup
2017/18 figure: £1,750,000-£1,759,999
Chris Evans - £1,250,000-£1,254,999
Evans left the BBC and began working for Virgin Radio in January. So his figure reflects nine months of work on the Radio 2 breakfast show before leaving in December, and not his full annual salary.
2017/18: £1,660,000-£1,669,999
Graham Norton - £610,000-£614,999
BBC Radio 2 Saturday show and BBC TV fee for a range of programmes such as Eurovision - but not including his BBC One chat show.
2017/18: £600,000-£609,999
Huw Edwards - £490,000-£494,999
BBC News and and news specials. The BBC has previously reported he's taken a pay cut.
2017/18: £520,000-£529,999
Steve Wright - £465,000-£469,999
Radio 2 afternoon show
2017/18: £550,000-£559,999
Alan Shearer - £440,000-£444,999

Radio 2 show and various TV programmes
2017/18: £370,000-£379,99
Zoe Ball - £370,000-£374,999
Ball's figure will only cover what she earned for hosting the breakfast show in the first three months of this year, plus her earnings for the Saturday-only Radio 2 show she hosted prior to that. Strictly's It Takes Two isn't included as it's made by BBC Studios.
2017/18: Not on the list presumably because her then Saturday Radio 2 show didn't put her in the £150,000 or above wage bracket.
