Roll up, roll up – it’s that deeply depressing time of year once again. The BBC has today published its annual list of obscenely overpaid employees, a chart dominated by so-called ‘stars’ from news, sport and radio.
Topping the list – before he was sacked in March over historical sexual offence allegations – is former Radio 2 breakfast show host Scott Mills. He was fortunate enough to pocket a whopping £750,000 from licence fee payers. Greg James comes second on an eye-watering £440,000.
Then we move on to news. In third place, Radio Ulster and 5 Live presenter Stephen Nolan rakes in £425,000, followed by Laura Kuenssberg on £405,000.
A little further down the list, Radio 4’s Justin Webb makes an appearance with a handsome £375,000 salary. BBC Breakfast’s Naga Munchetty is revealed to be on £360,000, while Question Time’s Fiona Bruce takes home £345,000.
