Tess Daly’s reported earnings for Strictly Come Dancing have varied in public outlets, with common estimates around £150,000 per series she hosts on the show. These figures have circulated for years, but the BBC typically does not disclose exact salary details publicly, so there is no official, verifiable published number from the broadcaster.
Key points to know
- Per-series estimates: Many outlets have cited roughly £150k for Daly per Strictly series she presents, though this is not an official BBC confirmation.
- Total earnings context: Daly has hosted Strictly since the show's early days and, in practice, her overall income from the program would be influenced by the number of episodes per series and any specific contractual arrangements handled through BBC Studios, which are generally not disclosed. Some articles suggest higher overall earnings when considering brand partnerships and other TV work, but these are speculative.
- Recent reporting: In 2025, several outlets reported that Daly and co-host Claudia Winkleman were stepping down from Strictly, reigniting discussion about their compensation and future career moves, though again without official salary disclosures.
