Gary Lineker (left) racked up more than 3,600 miles covering the Euro 2020 football tournament - without ever leaving the UK. The BBC's highest-paid star made nine 404-mile round trips between his London home and a studio in Salford, Greater Manchester, to front live coverage of matches. Many of his journeys - and those of his fellow pundits - will have been funded by the licence-payer, which also covered hotel stays and the cost of hiring a high-tech studio. It is the latest example of the extra costs involved in the controversial decision to relocate the Corporation's sport department to the North of England. Concerns have also been raised that the move affected the quality of programmes, as some potential London-based interviewees have been put off by the long journey. Lineker, who was paid £1.36 million in the last year, would only have travelled 108 miles had the coverage come from a London studio. Nor is he the only presenter to have racked up the miles in covering the Euros. Gabby Logan (bottom left) made six round trips of 390 miles from her home in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, and Rio Ferdinand made seven 470-mile journeys from his home near Bromley, Kent. Alex Scott (bottom centre) went to Salford five times from her London home....read
