Pay of Match of the Day host remains unchanged in year he was suspended for breaking impartiality rules
Gary Lineker continued to be the BBC’s highest paid presenter in a year when he was suspended for criticising the language used by ministers when discussing the government’s asylum policy, the BBC annual report reveals.
The Match of the Day host was paid £1.35m, the same amount he received the previous year, and well ahead of the BBC’s second highest earner, Zoe Ball, whose £980,000 was also unchanged.
