BBC salaries to be revealed - but a whole heap of stars will escape scrutiny

The Beeb has been ordered to publish it's top earners in even more detail, but a loop hole means some of its biggest stars will escape scrutiny

The BBC will publish its list of top earners later today, with many eager to see if the gender pay gap has been closed.

Statistics published last October revealed women were earning on average 9 per cent less than their male counterparts, with top paid female Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman earning between 450,000 and 50,000 compared to top-paid male Chris Evans, who raked in 2.2million.

But tracking the Beeb's progress will prove to be a tough challenge as this time around a loophole means that not everyone who earns more than 150,000 must be listed.

While pay details have to be much more specific, with salaries listed to the nearest 10,000 rather than 50,000, anyone who features in a programme made by BBC Studios doesn't have to be included.

Despite making some of the broadcaster's biggest shows, including Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders and The One Show, the BBC Studios subsidiary has been classed as a commercial entity since 2017 and is therefore exempt from public scrutiny.

Those working in news and current affairs, sport, children's TV and BBC radio shows will be listed, with journalists Nicky Campbell, Huw Edwards, Jon Sopel, Jeremy Vine, Nick Robinson and John Humphrys having all accepted a pay cut in January.

However, Claudia Winkleman's wages will not be published, nor will those of Tess Daly, Zoe Ball, EastEnders' star Danny Dyer, DIY SOS presenter Nick Knowles amongst many others.

And Fiona Bruce's salary will only include what shes paid for presenting BBC News, with details of her Antiques Roadshow wages remaining under lock and key.

The last figures revealed Nick, Tess and Fiona were in the 350k - 399k bracket, while Zoe was in the 250k - 299k bracket and Danny was in the 200k - 240k segment.

The BBC is believed to have reduced the gender pay gap to 7.6 per cent, however this latest report is not expected to fully reflect the pay cuts that were taken at the start of the year.

As such, a projection for future earnings will be included in a bid to paint a more accurate picture.
