ITV’s chief executive, Dame Carolyn McCall, took home more than £3.5m last year – a 7% increase on her previous pay package – while the broadcaster’s staff received an average 3% annual rise despite inflation hitting a 41-year high.
McCall, who has earned £14.8m in pay, bonuses and share and pension awards since joining from easyJet in 2018, has also been given a rise this year that means her base salary will top £1m for the first time.
