Broadcaster Dan Walker has defended the BBC licence fee, saying it’s “43p per day”.
A host of famous faces, including the sports broadcaster Gary Lineker and the comedian Nish Kumar, have shown solidarity with the corporation after Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries indicated the licence fee would be axed.
In a tweet, Ms Dorries, 64, said the next announcement about the fee “will be the last” amid reports it will be frozen for the next two years.
