The BBC's top-earning stars missing from salary list
Gary Lineker took the top spot on the BBC's salary list for the eighth year in a row but did you spot the names missing from the list, like The Traitors' Claudia Winkleman? There will always be certain big-name stars who never make the BBC top earnings list. Strictly's Winkleman, Rylan Clark, Michael McIntyre, Graham Norton and Bradley Walsh are among the BBC's top talent but their names are not featured on the salary list. One thing they all have in common is that they are not directly employed by the BBC and instead, they are contracted through production companies. BBC Studios is one example and it is a commercial organisation that is not supported by the licence fee. The BBC only publishes the big salaries of stars it employs directly. Stars employed directly by the BBC who earn more than £178,000 will have their names and salaries published. Interestingly, some stars appear on the list but for only some of their BBC work. One notable example is Vernon Kay who is named in ninth place on the list with a salary of £390,000 — £394,999. It only includes his Radio 2 job. Any money he earns for co-presenting The One Show doesn't feature in his published salary. Kay's co-presenters Alex Jones, Roman Kemp and more, also wouldn't have their salary for The One Show appear in the BBC's top earning list. There are too many well paid stars who are missing from the BBC's highest-paid salaries list to feature them all here. McIntyre could be potentially at the top of the salary list because of his big Saturday night shows The Wheel and Big Show, BBC News reported. Winkleman would likely feature high on the list thanks to her hosting jobs on Strictly Come Dancing and The Traitors. Graham Norton would appear in the list too and Winkleman also filled in for the star on his BBC chat show this year. Strictly's main stars Tess Daly, Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood don't make the list. Gladiators host Walsh is also absent from the BBC salary list. More big names missing include: Rylan, Sort Your Life Out's Stacey Solomon, Would I Lie To You?'s Rob Brydon, Not Going Out star Lee Mack, David Mitchell, Romesh Ranganathan, Only Connect's Victoria Coren-Mitchell Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job stars Alan Carr and Amanda Holden as well as Alison Hammond for her Big Weekend series. It wasn't surprising that Lineker and Zoe Ball led the highest-paid BBC stars once again.

Father and girl, 5, pulled from water after going overboard on Disney cruise ship
'We are committed to the safety and well-being of our guests, and this incident highlights the effectiveness of our safety protocols,' the statement said. Coleman-Wright said detectives will seek answers about how the child went overboard. The Broward Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement for Port Everglades, where the ship arrived Monday morning. 'This family is so blessed,' Coleman-Wright said. 'It's great to be able to respond to good news rather than what could have been a tragic outcome.' Guests who watched the scene unfold Sunday appeared shocked to realise two people – and especially a child – had gone over the ship's railings. One video posted on TikTok shows a small vessel leave from the ship, which can carry 4000 passengers. The smaller boat can be seen approaching two small dots bobbing in the water. 'I can't tell, it looks like there are two heads,' says the person shooting the video. Shortly after, as the people get pulled into the rescue boat, she says: 'Is it a kid? Is it a kid and an adult? It's a kid and adult! How does that happen?' People start cheering. As the boat returns to the ship, the man can be seen pumping his fist as people applaud. The image of the girl, sitting on a woman's lap, is blurred out. In the caption, the person who posted the video said their family was in their room when they heard an announcement of 'Mr. MOB' for 'man overboard.' The man kept the child afloat for at least 20 minutes, the TikTok user wrote in the caption. 'We witnessed nothing short of a miracle,' the user wrote. In a video shot from another angle, people cheer as the small boat approaches the people in the water. Lawyer Michael Winkleman, who represents people suing cruise lines for injury or wrongful death, said the fall must have happened from a low deck. 'If it were a higher deck, the chances for survival are infinitesimally smaller,' he said. The father and child on the Disney Dream were 'very lucky', Winkleman said, because the ship was able to put their rescue plan into action right away. He said a significant number of overboard cases involve people who have overconsumed alcohol or jumped intentionally, and sometimes those falls have no witnesses. A rescue at night would have been more difficult as well, he said. 'That's literally like finding a needle in a haystack,' Winkleman said. Loading He said he was not aware of cases of multiple people going overboard, especially not a child followed by an adult. He discussed the case with colleagues who have been in the business for more than 50 years. 'Unprecedented,' he said.

BBC Radio Two presenter Vernon Kay congratulates wife Tess Daly on MBE
The 56-year-old has been recognised alongside her Strictly co-host Claudia Winkleman in the King's Birthday Honours for her services to broadcasting. Kay, who has two children with Daly who he married in 2003, also praised Winkleman and the Strictly team for 'consistently producing the best show every year'. A post shared by Vernon (@vernonkay) 'All the hard work and huge effort you put into everything you do has been recognised by the King. 'Being on Strictly from the start when our babies weren't even born just proves how well you've done. Now they're almost 21 and 16 and we've all enjoyed this journey together!! 'Also, bravo everyone at @bbcstrictly and @claudiawinkle for consistently producing the best show every year!! Time to pop a cork me thinks…' Daly began working as a model and first appeared on screens in 1999 when she hosted The Big Breakfast's Find Me A Model competition on Channel 4. She reached new levels of fame as co-host of the BBC One Saturday night dancing competition Strictly Come Dancing, which she presented alongside the late Sir Bruce Forsyth until 2014, three years before his death at the age of 89. Traitors presenter Winkleman joined Daly as Strictly co-host, with the pair picking up the best entertainment award at the 2024 Bafta TV ceremony. On being made MBE, Daly told the PA News Agency: 'I cried when I opened the letter, because I just I couldn't believe it. 'It feels like the most wonderful honour, because when you work as a broadcaster, you're part of people's viewing habits. 'Broadcasting is without a doubt a collective effort. I've been really fortunate to work with some of the very best production teams that there are in the business. And so my biggest thanks is to them, because you're only as good as your team.' The broadcaster also presented the ITV makeover show, Home On Their Own in 2003, replacing Ulrika Jonsson, and in 2011 fronted the BBC Two documentary TV Greats: Our Favourites From The North where she took a look at Manchester's broadcasting past as BBC North bid farewell to its studios in the city to move to Salford. Across her career she has interviewed stars including Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, rock band No Doubt and US musician Lenny Kravitz.
