Jeremy Vine: I hope my young girls won't understand Telegraph's BBC pay gap cartoon by the time they start work

Jeremy Vine, the fourth best-paid BBC star, has used The Telegraph's Matt cartoon to express his feelings towards unequal pay.

The BBC Radio 2 presenter said he hopes his young daughters wouldn't understand what it was like to live in a world with a gender pay gap by the time they are of working age.

He tweeted: "As the father of two young girls, I hope they won't understand this cartoon by the time they start work".

Mr Vine, who is on £700,000-£749,999,  is paid around £300,000 more than the top-paid female BBC employee Claudia Winkleman, who is on £450,000-£499,999.

 Gary Lineker continued to tweet about BBC pay last night, when he said he "should have stuck to football".

Mr Lineker, who is on £1,750,000-£1,799,999 and is the second highest-paid star at the BBC, has taken a more jocular approach to the matter.

He did however disclose that he has been offered more money by other companies, but has stuck with the BBC.

 TV star Joan Collins weighed in to the scandal, saying it reminded her of when she was on Dynasty in the 1980s.

She said: "Oh dear only couple of actresses on BBC Rich list reminds me when John Forsythe contractually had to receive much more than me on Dynasty!"

Her fans replied saying they had no idea that was the case, and that the ladies were the stars on the hit show.

Woman's Hour presenter Jane Garvey has continued to tweet on the matter, saying she needed a "pint of sangfroid" before discussing the pay gap on her show.

She also revealed that while she is not on the list, she earns just under the amount to qualify being on the top earners.

She tweeted that she is on £100-150k after BBC 5 Live's Rachel Burden wrote: "Whilst we're in the transparency game, and for those asking, I fall in the middle of the 100-150k category."

Jenni Murray, her co-presenter who is also not on the list, said on Radio 4's Woman's Hour that she and Jane Garvey are 'hashtag not on the list'.

She said: "There are situations where a man and a woman sit together, they do the same number of programmes in a year, they do the same number of hours, and the pay is different"

She then interviewed BBC correspondent Nick Hyam about the lack of black and ethnic minority people who are high paid at the broadcaster.
