Six of the BBC's leading male presenters have agreed to take pay cuts after revelations of unequal salaries with their female counterparts.
The BBC said Huw Edwards, Nicky Campbell, John Humphrys, Jon Sopel, Nick Robinson and Jeremy Vine all accepted reduced wages.
The move follows Carrie Gracie's resignation as BBC China editor in protest at unequal pay between male and female international editors.
Jeremy Vine said he supports his female colleagues because it is "a no-brainer" that "they should be paid the same when they're doing the same job."
The new salaries have not been revealed.
