BBC pay 2020-2021: The full list of star salaries
- Published
The BBC has published the latest list of its highest-paid stars as part of its annual report.
Some stars have had pay increases, while others have dropped down the list.
Not all earnings are published - for example, Graham Norton's BBC One chat show is not included because 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 EastEnders, Strictly Come Dancing and Top Gear, are also missing for the same reason.
But here are the presenters who earned above £150,000 at the BBC in 2020-2021, and whose salaries have been published in the annual report:
