Claudia Winkleman and Vanessa Feltz are among the top 10 highest earners at the BBC as the corporation publishes its top-paid talent as part of its bid to tackle its equal pay problem.

Ms Winkleman is the BBC’s highest-paid female star and 8th highest earner overall with a salary of £370,000.

It is the first time since presenter's salaries were first disclosed in 2017 that women have made the top 10.

Ms Winkleman joins other high profile stars such as Today presenter John Humphrys, who was one of a number of male starts to take pay cuts to address the balance.
