Counting up

An average of 11.7m watched the Strictly final on BBC1 - that's a whopping 56.2% of anyone with a tv turned on at the time. Last year, the figure was 11.8m - but the share was 53.2%.

The Sunday Mirror 'reveals' the fee structure that keeps the celebrities in the hunt, claiming everyone's on a basic of £25k, rising to £40k if they're still in the contest in October, and £60k if they make the quarter-finals. The paper says winner Joe McFadden will get £100,000. The professional dancers are said to be on £30k for the series, whether they get stuck with a donkey or a twinkletoes...Anton may be on £40k.  The judges are believed to be paid £110,000.

Claudia Winkleman - Abbott to Tess Daly's Costello - is on something above £450k for a year of BBC activities. Tess Daly is on between £350k and £400k.
