mirror.co.ukZoe Ball is about to waltz off with the title of the BBC’s official highest earner. The Radio 2 star, who also co-hosts Strictly Come Dancing : It Takes Two, will knock Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker off the top of the league.
Gary, 59, was again named at the No1 spot on £1.75million – but he is taking a £400,000 pay cut. A new five-year deal will reduce his pay to £1.35m with immediate effect.
Zoe, 49, earned £1.36m over the past year for hosting her Radio 2 breakfast show. She earns an extra fee – likely to be around £500,000 – for It Takes Two, which is not included in the figures.
