Is wogan getting paid for this years (2008) children in need? ?
In 2007, it was reported that Terry Wogan, as the show’s host, had been receiving an annual honorarium since 1980 (amounting to £9,065 in 2005). This made him the only celebrity paid for his participation in Children in Need. Wogan, however, stated that he would “quite happily do it for nothing” and had “never asked for a fee”. The BBC stated that the amount, which was paid from BBC resources and not from the Children in Need charity fund, had “never been negotiated,” having instead increased in line with inflation. Two days prior to the 2007 event, it was reported that Wogan had waived his compensation.
