He received almost £750,000 in the year before he was sacked at the end of March.But many big-name stars - such as Claudia Winkleman, Graham Norton and Michael McIntyre - are missing because their programmes are made by the BBC's commercial arm BBC Studios or other independent production companies, and so are exempt.See below for the full list of presenters who earned more than £178,000 in the 2025-26 financial year, according to the BBC's accounts.The ▼, ▲ and ➤ icons show whether their salary has moved up, down or remained in the same bracket.
