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.
