BBC salary list: Gary Lineker and Zoe Ball stay top with Huw Edwards earning pay rise

News anchor rose from sixth to fourth place below Alan Shearer, who received a cut, and Zoe Ball and Gary Lineker whose pay stays the same

Huw Edwards is the highest earning star to receive a pay rise in this year’s BBC salary list, as other big names saw theirs fall or remain the same.

Gary Lineker remains the highest-paid star on £1.35 million, followed by Zoe Ball on £980,000-984,999. Neither received a pay rise last year.

The third-placed presenter, Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer, received a pay cut to £445,00-£449,999.

Edwards bucked the trend by rising from sixth to fourth place, with his salary up by £25,000 to £435,000-439,000.
