The BBC has revealed its top earning stars across the previous financial year, with Gary Lineker topping the list for the fifth year in a row.

The sports broadcaster's BBC salary was £1.35 million over the past year, above Zoe Ball who places second on the list with £980,000. The salaries were published today as part of the corporation's annual report, as required by the Government, after Lineker also topped the BBC's 2021 salary report.

However, the list does not include all presenters and actors as BBC Studios, the BBC's commercial arm, does not have to publish its own stars' salaries. BBC Studios produces The Graham Norton Show, explaining his absence from the list.

Other stars included in the top 10 include Alan Shearer, Steve Wright, Stephen Nolan, Huw Edwards, Fiona Bruce, Vanessa Feltz, Scott Mills and Greg James.

This year's top 10 includes three women and seven men, while last year's featured four women.
