Stephen Nolan has become the BBC's top-earning on-air journalist this year, figures show.

The host of BBC's Nolan Show saw his pay increase by up to £10,000 to over £415,000, meaning he is still among the BBC’s highest-earning on-air presenters.

That's up from between £405,000 and £409,999 in 2020-21, however his salary may vary each year depending on when he is actually paid for what he has presented. Meanwhile, the pay of BBC Northern Ireland director Peter Johnston remained at between £195,000 and £199,999 in 2021-22, similar to the previous year.

The 61-year-old pundit and former footballer was paid between £1,350,000 and £1,354,999 in 2021/2022 for work including Match Of The Day and Sports Personality Of The Year – a reduction of £10,000 on the previous year. Her salary has now slipped to below £1 million and reflects approximately 210 editions of The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on Radio 2.
