The BBC has just released the annual salary report for its stars earning over £150,000. The big hitters are listed below, along with any percentage changes on last year’s figures.

Guido congratulates Naga and Faisal Islam on their big wins this year, looks like they’re two of the few to climb the ladder with massive 30% pay increases. There’s still a gender split of 44%-56%, though, despite ex-Director General Tony Hall committing to closing the gap by 2020. Perhaps Tim Davie’s just not as interested…

UPDATE:  *Our fans in the BBC press office get in touch to say Faisal Islam hasn’t had a pay rise, this was his first complete year, last year’s payment represented an incomplete year and so he received £46,000 less.
