The salaries of Lineker and Ball, of course, have attracted the most attention this year.
Lineker has taken a voluntary 23 per cent pay cut – while agreeing to tweet “carefully” as part of his new contract.
If you’re unaware of the damage at the BBC, here it is: the top 10 earners all make over £380,000 – with Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball raking in £1.75m and £1.3m respectively.
The year that has passed since the BBC published its last list of salaries has been a contentious one for both race and gender.
