In April 2006, details of his fees and those of other BBC personalities were leaked to the tabloid press.<ref>Julia Day [https://www.theguardian.com/uk_news/story/0,,1756028,00.html "Radio 2 stars' salaries leaked"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007223800/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/apr/18/radio.bbc |date=7 October 2023 }}, ''The Guardian'', 18 April 2006</ref> It was claimed at the time, by a then-unidentified BBC [[mole (espionage)|mole]], that Ross earned £530,000 per year for hosting his Radio 2 show (equivalent to £10,000 per show).<ref>Owen Gibson [https://www.theguardian.com/uk_news/story/0,,1776263,00.html "BBC unmasks mole who leaked salary details of its biggest stars"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231007223802/https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/may/17/broadcasting.bbc5 |date=7 October 2023 }}, ''The Guardian'', 17 May 2006</ref> While refusing to comment specifically on the leak in line with BBC policy on the matter, Ross did hint during his radio show that the figure was exaggerated; in addition to this, any pay highlighted as being "his" would actually be split between himself and his producer/co-presenter on the show, Andy Davies.
