NAGA Munchetty earned a huge six-figure sum for work away from her BBC Breakfast shows.
The star presenter trousered a whopping £50,000 in just three month for external work – while raking in between £365,000 – £369,999 for the morning TV show.
Fans know Munchetty from the famous BBC red sofa
She carried out five engagements that earned her between £5,000-£10,000 a pop, reports The Times.
Naga is one of the top earners of the BBC Breakfast show.
The 47-year-old journalist hosts the show every week from Thursday to Sunday.
She also has her own show on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Meanwhile Today host Nick Robinson received two payments of more than £10,000 for different events.
He earned this on top of his £270,000 salary at the BBC.
In total at the BBC the total number of payments made to their journalists outside work doubled since the year before.
The national broadcaster said 86 per cent of payments were of £5,000 or less.
This comes after Naga recently revealed she had another TV project in the works.
A new series of Claimed and Shamed is on the way, and Naga shared a picture of herself leaning against a wall with her arms folded.
She captioned the snap: “We’re back! The new series of Claimed & Shamed will be broadcasting weekdays from today at 10.30am BBC One and streaming on BBC iplayer.”
Claimed and Shamed follows a number of insurance companies and police units in the UK and across the world that expose the most outrageous insurance cheats.
A spokesman said: “We publish the external paid-for work of on-air journalists for transparency and every event is approved in line with our editorial guidelines.”
