BBC News channel presenter Carrie Gracie made headlines when she told Labour peer Lord Foulkes that she earned 92,000 pounds a year. However, the Daily Mail reports today that her co-presenter, Simon McCoy, was glad he wasn't put on the spot as he earns £190,000 a year. "That's more than the prime minister," one source told the paper. The BBC says this claim about McCoy's salary is "way wide of the mark".
