Claudia and Tess - Strictly salaries

It's probably a fraction of what Bruce was paid .

Agreed. And you can add footballers to the list!

Although the latter do at least have to turn up for training each day..... not just for matches.

Yes, I agree - how many houses can one person live in, how many cars can they drive?? (I'm just jealous!!)

Why have they had to admit it? Claudia does lots of other stuff for the Beeb and is really funny.

I don't actually mind. Not at all.

The programme is hugely successful

TV presenters can earn a lot of money

It is what it is

Claudia is good value. The wooden one - so surprised that she keeps her job!

Wouldn't it be a good idea if no-one was allowed to be paid more than the prime minister of the day? I don't actually know what Boris is paid but it's nothing like as much as, say, premier league footballers or Claudia and Tess.

What I don't understand is why some of the dancers get paid far more than the others.

Why should AJ Pritchard get paid more than the others?

My Granddaughters would think AJ should earn more than all the others put together!!

Apparently the PM salary is around £150,000 pa. NottooOld seems ridiculous that those two presenters of Strictly earn so much. Not sure that 'earn' is the correct word to use.

Please don't accept abuse in your marriage. No one should be living with abuse even if they don't earn a lot (or indeed anything!).

I think they are both humourless, talentless and wildly overpaid. I record Strictly so that I can fast-forward through their ghastliness.

Gosh, I feel better for that!

I used to be a big fan in the early ears but I can't abide all the screaming and luvvying that goes on now so I don't watch it. I wish they'd concentrate on the dancing and less on 'personalities'.

years not ears!

So this is why there's no free licence for the over-75's ? Too busy giving it away to nonentities.

Not sure, but I think Nicola has been kicking off about pay because of her sexual status as well as her popularity in the sports industry.

They'll all price themselves out before long.

Amanda Holden is even thinking of joining the BBC. Oh Yuk !

I bet none of the greedy so-and-so's give a hoot over the grim Christmas that it's going to be for many !!

@NotSpaghetti. Thanks hon, but I am safe. No physical danger. And I no longer let him get inside my head. I am biding my time, have a plan, and am OK. Although £350K would accelerate matters somewhat!!!

But thank you. xx

Maybiteifstartled SO pleased to hear you are ok.

You are definitely fortunate that he's not in your head! Good luck with the plan.

Claudia doesn't get that salary for just doing Strictly. It is for all her BBC work.

According to this list of salaries, Claudia is the 13th highest paid presenter:

Seek out some help if you need to talk - it does help. I left it a long time before I went to see a counsellor. With no savings, (but I was earning), I eventually left him.

It does seem we (society) have gone very wrong. I cannot imagine that any business , and the BBC is a business, would pay out high salaries unnecessarily. It seems that the general viewing public want/like glamour/celeb presenters on shows and that that, apparently, draws in the punters. The BBC needs to be competitive and so if commercial companies use highly paid celebs on shows the BBC has to do similarly.
It is a 'chicken and egg' situation..did the viewing public prefer shows fronted by 'beautiful people' so the TV companies were pushed to pay for 'the best'..or did TV companies persuade the viewers that they wanted glamour??

The one that really annoys me is Zoe Ball earning £1,369,444 a year for her radio show.

Why does it bother posters what other people earn? If you had the chance to earn that sort of money would you turn it down.
It's the industry they are in, it pays well.

Gulligranny I could have written your post word for word. ?
