Sally Nugent’s Salary for BBC Breakfast
Sally has interviewed many popular celebs recently including rapper Stormzy and Kevin Sinfield and has been a big hit with the viewers. Born in Birkenhead on the Wirral Peninsula, Sally went to Upton Hall School FCJ. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts and French from the University of Huddersfield.
The sports enthusiast took over her BBC Breakfast role in October 2021 replacing Louise Minchin, confirmed GoodtoKnow. Initially Sally co-hosted the show with Dan Walker but ever since his exit, she’s doing her job alongside Jon Kay.
Wondering how much she gets paid? BBC previously revealed in its annual report that Sally Nugent's salary for 2022-2023 is between £178,000 - £184,999. The figure puts her in the same bracket as fellow TV presenters Clare Balding and Michael Vaughan.
Her fellow presenters make more than her - Naga Muchetty earns between £335,000 - £339,999, Charlie Stayt earns £190,000 - £194,999, and Jon Kay earns £185,000 - £189,999. This makes Sally the lowest paid presenter on the BBC Breakfast table.
The 52-year-old has never revealed her net worth or salary officially but she remarked in 2020 that she’s not paid much. A Twitter user suggested that her shoes were by luxury designer Christian Louboutin and therefore. She earns more than the chancellor, to this she replied:
My shoes are from Marks and Spencer and I guarantee the Chancellor earns more than me #Just Saying
