The staggering exposure of BBC salaries has
revealed the top-earning woman earns £1.5
million less than her male counterpart.
Presenter Claudia Winkleman is paid just under
£500,000 for her roles on Strictly Come Dancing
and Radio 2, while Top Gear host Chris Evans
receives an incredible £2.2 million paycheck.
The figures also reveal two-thirds of the highest
paid talent are men, with just one third women.
Many BBC figures have welcomed the unveiling of
their salaries, including Evans himself.
"I think this is the beginning of it [the gender pay
gap] being redressed, I imagine," he said outside
the central London studio this morning..
"I think the most important thing is that we're the
ultimate public company and therefore I think
that, on balance, it's probably right and proper
that people know what we get paid."
The highest-paid stars have now been leaked by
Piers Morgan.
He revealed the salaries of the following famous
