The presenter is taking a more hands-on approach to his role as a DJ when he moves to Virgin Radio, though.
“I won’t be on that list anymore. The kind of high earners list, which I didn’t like being on,” the presenter said.
The presenter revealed last week that he was leaving his Saturday morning Radio 2 show after 10 years.
He was previously one half of the duo Pete And Geoff, with Geoff Lloyd, on Virgin Radio.
The presenter was named the top-earning BBC star in 2017, and second-highest in 2018.
Instead, he claimed Chris’ upcoming move was fuelled by a desire for 'a change'.
