BBC pay 2022-2023: The full list of star salaries
- Published
Gary Lineker is the top earner for the sixth year running
The BBC has published the salaries of its highest-paid stars as part of its annual report.
Gary Lineker, who presents Match of the Day and the BBC's World Cup coverage, remains top of the list, earning £1.35m.
Radio 2 breakfast host Zoe Ball is in second place, having earned £980k last year.
Some famous BBC faces like Graham Norton and Claudia Winkleman don't make the list as their shows are produced by companies like BBC studios, which are run externally to the BBC.
The threshold for publishing earnings has also been adjusted in line with inflation this year from £150,000 to £178,000.

The ▼, ▲ and ➤ icons show whether their salary has moved up, down or remained the same. A ★ icon represents a presenter making a new appearance or re-entry onto the list.
