Rylan Clark criticised BBC bosses after a cancelled flight made him miss his show
Rylan Clark said BBC Radio 2 bosses reprimanded him after he missed his Saturday show in June, when a cancelled flight left him stranded in Nice. He joked on a podcast that the absence was not his fault because of a French air traffic control strike, and complained about his pay, adding, “Thank you licence payers.”
Clark said he had planned to fly home on the morning of the programme; presenter Mark Goodier covered the 3pm to 6pm slot. His exact BBC salary is not public, as he is contracted through an external production company. Records show his company, Rylan Limited, made £1.4 million in total earnings, while reported Radio 2 presenter salaries range from £178,000 to £520,000.
