Ms Winkleman’s salary does not include payments for Strictly Come Dancing.

Ms Feltz is the 10^th most well paid star, earning £355,000, for her for work on Radio 2 and Radio London.

 

The BBC released the full list of talent earning more than £150,000 as part of its annual report, covering April 2018 to March 2019.

BBC director general Lord Hall, said it was spending "more than ever on content, but the amount we have spent proportionally on talent has come down".

He said: "Whenever we ask the public whether they want big stars on the BBC they say yes.

"They say yes because they are talented and entertaining. They also say yes as it means they are getting big value from the BBC."
