Walker was ahead of some of his colleagues, including fellow BBC Breakfast star Naga Munchetty – though she wasn’t far behind him in the £190,000 – £194,999 bracket.
But Walker has defended the huge figure and said it was down to the number of programmes he worked for across the BBC.
He has previously opened up about his salary in an interview with the Radio Times, admitting he worked hard for the money.
“You get accused of being part of the liberal, metropolitan elite and I couldn’t feel further from that,” he commented.
“I do think I provide good value. I work my backside off six days a week and I have done for a long time.”
