Claudia Winkleman, Michael McIntyre, Graham Norton and Alex Jones are among the BBC stars who do not appear on the corporation's annual pay list thanks to a loophole.
The BBC's annual report revealed Huw Edwards was paid more than £475,000 by the corporation last year before he resigned and left the corporation following the explicit photos furore. The veteran newsreader was paid between £475,000 and £479,999 for the year 2023/24 for 160 presenting days, BBC One news specials, election specials and other television programming, according to the BBC's annual report.
The BBC confirmed at the time of his departure that he had not received a pay-off and was leaving 'on the basis of medical advice from his doctors'.
