Pictured: The high-profile female stars who jointly wrote to BBC boss over gender pay gap
More than 40 of the BBC’s most high-profile female personalities have called on the corporation to address its gender pay gap. Presenters such as Fiona Bruce, Sue Barker, Clare Balding, Victoria Derbyshire and Emily Maitlis were among the signatories of a letter to BBC director general Tony Hall. Last week, the salaries of the BBC’s highest-paid stars were published, and the list was dominated by men. Radio 2 host Chris Evans, who is paid between £2.2 million and £2.25 million, is the BBC’s top earner, while the highest-paid woman, Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman, earns between £450,000 and £500,000 a year. The report revealed that two-thirds of personalities who are paid more than £150,000 are male. MORE: Here’s the BBC stars who weren’t on the list of the highest paid employees MORE: In pictures – How much do the BBC’s highest paid stars earn? In their letter, the female presenters and reporters wrote: ‘The pay details released in the Annual report showed what many of us have suspected for many years… that women at the BBC are being paid less than men for the same work. ‘You have said that you will “sort” the gender pay gap by 2020, but the BBC has known about the pay disparity for years. We all want to go on the record to call upon you to act now.’ The letter was organised by Jane Garvey, presenter of Radio 4 programme Woman’s Hour, who said: ’It is fairness that we are in pursuit of here, not enormous pay rises.’ In response to the letter, Lord Hall said work was under way to close disparities between how much men and women are paid at the corporation.

BBC Director General Tony Hall has said “change will be accelerated” in response to a letter from high-profile female stars demanding he take action to tackle the corporation’s gender pay gap. Lord Hall said work was under way to close disparities between how much men and women are paid at the BBC and that consultation meetings would take place over the next two months to “accelerate further change in the autumn”. It comes after household names including Clare Balding, Victoria Derbyshire, Emily Maitlis and Fiona Bruce signed a letter calling for action to sort out pay inequality “now” rather than by the BBC chief’s self-imposed 2020 timescale.
