Norton, who has been described as 'the 21-century Terry Wogan', made a lucrative move to Virgin Radio earlier this year. He said of his decision to quit Radio 2: 'The only thing that was part of the decision was oh, if I stopped doing this, I'll get off that list. 'I won't be on that list any more. The kind of high earners list, which I didn't like being on — hey, now I'm not. So to that extent it made me go... but that was sort of a bonus of leaving, it wasn't the biggest driving force.'
