The BBC has published the salaries of its highest-paid stars as part of its annual report.
Radio 2's Zoe Ball is in second place. Her full-year salary dropped below £1m for the first time since taking over the station's Breakfast Show in 2019.
Not all earnings are published - for example, Graham Norton's fee for his BBC One chat show is not included because it is produced by BBC Studios, which is classed as a commercial entity.
The stars of EastEnders, Top Gear and Strictly Come Dancing are missing for the same reason - although Claudia Winkleman's salary for her Radio 2 programme is listed.
With those caveats in mind, here are the presenters who earned above £150,000 last year, according to the BBC's accounts.
The ▼, ▲ and ➤ icons show whether their salary has moved up, down or remained the same. A ★ icon represents a presenter making a new appearance or re-entry into the list.
