Jeremy Clarkson, 62, claimed that the BBC has a “secretive” organisation that pays some of its stars’ salaries and does not have to publish them.The Top Gear presenter addressed the recent controversy surrounding the broadcaster’s top on-screen earners list.Earlier this month, the corporation released a report that included Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball among its highest paid stars.The report was met with backlash from viewers who criticised the astronomical sums the stars were getting paid.Now, Jeremy has suggested broadcasting legend Sir David Attenborough’s salary could be even higher than Gary’s.The presenter also claimed some stars could also be getting their salary from the “secretive BBC Studios” to avoid scrutiny from the public.According to the Clarkson’s Farm star, the organisation does not have to disclose the cash it pays its stars.Explaining his experience with fame, which he described as an “open prison”, Jeremy said his salary was paid by the BBC Studios.He said: “And, to make it worse, the BBC is forced to publish your salary so that people in the street can sneer at you and point out that old people are starving to death so they can afford to pay the licence fee.“Perhaps that’s why there’s no mention of Sir David Attenborough in the published salary list.“There’s no way in hell he’s paid less than Gary Lineker.“But to make sure we don’t know what he’s on, which may expose the national treasure to ridicule, he’ll get his cash from the secretive BBC Studios — an organisation that doesn’t have to publish salary information.”Jeremy concluded in his column for The Sun: “How do I know this?
