"IS THIS TRUE ABOUT TERRY WOGAN"!!!

Thu Nov 12, 2015 3:47 pm

Everyone connected to the children in need fundraising give up their time for nothing.All bar Terry Wogan apparently who demands a fee and always has done.Former crimewatch presenter Sue Cook stopped doing children in need as Wogan was turning into his show due to his enormous ego and greed.Always thought he was a big headed tw*t anyway.Shame on you Wogan if this is true.

Your wrong,the bbc state that he has demanded a fee every year since 1980 when it started.Also he is the only person who has ever demanded being paid for hosting it.I was unsure myself until I checked it up on the net just now.

A BBC spokeswoman said the payment was "never remotely commercial" and came from the programme's budget and not from charitable funds.

The veteran broadcaster said: "I would quite happily do it for nothing."

The 68-year-old added that he had "never asked for a fee" for fronting the marathon appeal, which raised more than £18m on the night last November.

'Honorarium'

Documents which were released to The Mail On Sunday newspaper under the Freedom of Information Act showed that Sir Terry received £9,065 in 2005 for anchoring the seven-hour extravaganza.

The BBC's spokeswoman said the payment was an "honorarium" for Sir Terry's services and had "never been negotiated", but added that it had risen in line with inflation.

"We are not ashamed to pay him and see no reason why it should not continue. If It wasn't for Sir Terry, Children In Need would not be what it is today," she said.

He takes a wage, they have turned down freedom of information requests regarding payments to celebrities for appearing on the shows which says it all.

Children in need is a programme with a bunch of tax dodging celebrity millionaires yelling at us to give more and more money of which a significant amount doesn't go to those that need it most. Give local I say.

I think the truth is that they pay his company so technically they aren't paying him

Too true, children in need has become a cringefest for celebs doing it for their own agenda

We don't but as he has never claimed to have donated the cash to children in need and it appears to been paid to him or a company owned by him then it is perfectly reasonable to assume he hasn't.
