The BBC’s annual salary list for 2024/25 has been published and Blackpool born Zoe is very high up the list indeed.
See below for the top 15 highest paid stars at the BBC currently, including Zoe, as well as how much they earn.
The list does not include people who are paid through independent production companies or the BBC's commercial arm BBC Studios: this is why stars such as Strictly's Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly do not feature.

15. Gary Lineker (1)
