The BBC's spend on top talent has risen by around £10 million to £159 million.

Claudia Winkleman, Zoe Ball and Vanessa Feltz have all moved up the BBC's star-salaries-list after the corporation's efforts to tackle an equal pay problem. 

Here Stephen Nolan's pay has fallen by around £75,000.  

This is all in the wake of the announcement that there will be no free TV licences for over 75s.

Should the BBC being paying this much for presenters?
