BBC Breakfast stars' wildly different salaries with one earning twice as much as co-stars

BBC Breakfast stars' wildly different salaries have been revealed, with one earning twice as much as their co-stars.

A list of what the highest paid employees at the BBC has been released, with many getting a pay rise compared to last year.

The list has showed that BBC Breakfast presenters, Naga Munchetty, Charlie Stayt, Sally Nugent and Jon Kay are all earning different amounts despite doing the same job.

Naga comes in at the top spot, earning almost double what her co-stars earn at £335,000-£339,999, however she also presents a Radio 5 Live programme as well as her TV gig.

In second place, on the BBC Breakfast stars salaries scale is Charlie Stayt, who earns between £190,000-£194,999. Jon Kay earns around £10,000 less that Charlie, with his sum declared as £185,000-£189,999.

And Sally earns around half than the top paid BBC Breakfast star as the 51-year-old presenter's salary was declared as £178,000-£184,999.

Despite Naga earning significantly more than her co-presenters, she has actually taken a pay cut from last year.

In 2021/2022 she was being paid £365,000-£369,999, meaning she had taken a £30,000 pay cut.

The BBC has revealed its top-earning stars across the financial year, with Match of the Day star Gary Lineker topping the list yet again.

The broadcaster divided their list into sections including sports presenters, newsreaders and radio stars.

The findings were published today as part of the corporation's annual report, as required by the government. Presenters Huw Edwards, Fiona Bruce and Sophie Raworth have raked in the highest salaries for the newsreaders this year.
