BBC’s top talent wage bill rises by £10m – Are the star presenters worth it?

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?

Also on the programme, obesity nearly as deadly as smoking so what's wrong with a doctor telling someone they're too fat? Plus, Womens' football soars in popularity with World Cup, but disappointment for England as Lionesses crash out at the semis.
