Telly presenter Stephen Mulhern is on track to be the host with the most after earning £3million last year.
Stephen, who fronts a string of shows including BGT spin-off Britain’s Got More Talent, has raced further ahead of big names like This Morning’s £1.7million-a-year presenter Philip Schofield,
The £3,051,682 earnings to February 2019 was up from £2.2million earned the year before by Stephen.
Now even £3.6million-a-year chat king Graham Norton is in his sights.
Stephen’s pay is boosted by presenting Catchphrase, Big Star’s Little Star and In For A Penny.
His earnings – revealed in figures for his company, Blue Eye Productions – dwarf the £1.1million earned at Good Morning Britain by Piers Morgan and the £1.25million pay of Virgin DJ Chris Evans.
And we’ll see yet more of Stephen when he returns to Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway in the spring. Ant and Dec, both 43, even cracked a gag at his expense on I’m a Celeb, suggesting “he’ll present anything”.
But he has a long way to go to match the Geordie pair themselves.
Ant and Dec picked up £29.5million combined over the 12 months.
