Norton to face pay cut

[Pinkbanana]

This would see Norton’s deal cut back to £6million or £2million a year for his BBC2 chat show, Saturday night reality talent shows and the Eurovision song contest.

Oh dear, is that all the poor lamb would be getting. Can he claim any benefits on such a low salary?

I agree that most tv hosts are vastly overpaid but it is not their fault that they were offered those contracts and I doubt that people on here would refuse such an offer if it were offered.

At's very true, Perdita. Who would turn down such amazing sums of money. However, I dont believe anyone in that profession is worth that amount of money... they are vastly overpaid for what they do. I think it's a good thing that these pay deals are being curtailed....

And surely Norton will still able to get by on such a pay cut???! He can always start budgeting and shop in Primark and Netto.
