Thing is I suppsoe whilst hes technically a presenter he hardly does anything. I think hes just there to try to liven up the dull bits of the show.
He wasn't exactly paid a lot by the BBC so its probably a chunk every so often with no guaranteed next amount just if they call him back. Hardly likely to be a salary. So he would probably lose a lot when he taold them what he had earn't, the same old situation where the benefits are too good to start with so if you do do some work you would lose most/all of your benefits. Which IMO encourages people to not declare.
Saying that he was wrong and had no excuse. There needs to be better integration between government depts. I canot believe for one minute BBC hadnt passed the details to the tax office yet the benefits office clearly were unaware of them. Thats of course assuming hes not got his own company, based offshore etc
