Irene Swaine Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Just now, SheffieldForum said: Or he has made a passive investment? Or his wife is going to go help run it? Yes, as a hobby. They don't need the income from it. When you are a multi millionaire, you don't need the modest income of a local cafe. Nothing wrong with them running it as a hobby. Good luck to them. But let's not pretend that this will transform their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be getting paid MINIMUM £400,000 a year for his broadcasting work and that is being pessimistic. It could be close to £1 million. He doesn't need the money then cafe generates. It will be a hobby for him. I’m sure he was in the press this week a female news reader on 5 has packed it in because he gets 500,000 a year and she gets nowhere near that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't surprise me. Holly Willoughby used to get much less than Philth Schofield on This Morning, then her agent intervened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Willoughby used to get much less than Philth Schofield on This Morning, then her agent intervened. So? At the time, Schofield had a much more higher profile, history on stage and screen and general star power over Willoughby. Plus he'd already been a lead presenter on the program for nearly 7 years before she joined. It will be a similar situation with Walker. His legacy was experience for years at the BBC and joining the presenting team of their flagship new show. That will have been the draw for for channel 5 to bring him over boosting his ego with a anchor gig and getting their reward from hoping to shift away competition from the rivals in the time slot - which will be more than the more unknown female presenter will have done. The world of show business is not like ordinary jobs. Its extremely fickle and all hinges on the personality and draw of the viewers, regardless of whether they are technically doing the same job. Think about people like the late Bruce Forsyth on Strictly Come Dancing. I'd be very surprised if he was getting paid the same as his female counterpart despite the fact that she probably had to carry most of it for him. Ultimately HE was the star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with this comment. Dan has a masters' degree in journalism and has presented several well known shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like me, he rides his bike around the City making peoples Asthma better although he can afford a roller even though he probably has one.
