Alan Shearer is celebrating a handsome Christmas bonus after topping up his six-figure BBC salary by moonlighting for Amazon Prime.

The former England striker earns a staggering £455,000 – thanks to the licence-fee payer – as a pundit on the Corporation’s weekly programme Match Of The Day as well as one-off tournaments.

He appeared on the streaming giant twice last week. He offered Amazon viewers his expertise during and after Manchester United’s win over Nottingham Forest, as well as the Premier League clash between Leeds United and Manchester City the following day.

While it is unknown what Shearer, 52, is paid by Amazon Prime, the subscription service has a huge budget for its sports coverage.
