A British television presenter, who made his name on a New Zealand children's show, has signed a golden deal worth $NZ132,800 for every hour he is on the screen.
Phillip Schofield, 46, will pick up the massive pay cheque for fronting the show Dancing on Ice on ITV, The News of the World reported.
Even if he works for just half an hour on the small screen, he will earn more than the stg23,800 ($NZ64,500) that the average British worker earns in a year.
Along with fronting the dancing show, Schofield also presents television show Good Morning.
With both salaries added together Schofield will rake in a staggering stg2 million a year -- making him one of the highest paid television stars.
At the age of 19 he moved to New Zealand where he made his first TV Appearance presenting a children's music programme called Shazam! in 1982.
After three years he moved back to Britain where he first appeared on UK television presenting BBC children's show From The Broom Cupboard in the 80s and then Going Live! for many years.
