Laura Woods paid herself an eye-watering £400,000 dividend to celebrate her move to ITV and TNT Sports, figures have revealed.
The presenter, who has fronted football and boxing coverage for a number of broadcasters, saw her earnings boosted significantly after she left talkSPORT.
Woods stepped away from her role as the host of the station's breakfast show in June 2023 after three years to become TNT Sports' lead Champions League anchor.
She is also the face of ITV's England and FA Cup coverage and fronted several Euro 2024 matches during the summer, playing a key role on screens across the UK.
Paperwork from the company which handles her TV incomings has shown that she paid herself almost half a million pounds - the equivalent of £35,000 a month.

She is now engaged to former Love Island star Adam Collard and is expecting her first child
It marks the first time Woods has paid herself a sum since setting up the business in 2014 with the 37-year-old having rapidly moved up the broadcasting ladder.
Woods, who is engaged to former Love Island star Adam Collard, also banked an advance worth £512,292, accounts covering to the end of 2023 show.
Even after the payout, her business still holds assets worth £635,247 - including £460,501 in the bank.
She is said to have earned around £250,000 a year during her stint at talkSPORT and is likely to have received a substantial pay rise after signing for TNT Sports.
Woods, an Arsenal supporter, began as a runner with Sky Sports before going on to become one of broadcasting's biggest household names.
Away from the cameras, Woods announced in July that she was pregnant with her first child less than a year after her relationship with Collard, 28, went public.

Woods took to Instagram to share the news with her followers, posting a photo of her French bulldog and a sonogram alongside the caption, 'Hey, baby'.
Collard appeared on Love Island in 2018 and 2022 and also starred on Celebs Go Dating last year - but admitted he had met Woods through Instagram.
The couple embarked on a luxury holiday to Mexico in March and went skiing in the French Alps with a group of friends back in February.
Collard previously went public with his intention to 'marry and have kids' with Woods, saying: 'I'm protective, whether it's Laura, or my family, my friends.
'I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. I've always thought, what type of person will I be? How can I protect my kids?

'Obviously I've never had a kid, but I don't think I'll be plastering it all over [social media]. I want them to have a fair fight and a chance not to be judged straight away.
'As long as my really close circle knows exactly who I am, I don't care. I think you have to take everything with a pinch of salt.'
Collard got down on one knee to propose to Woods on a beach in St Ives in September and later gushed that his partner was his 'whole world'.
