Richard Osman has revealed he could collect “millions” from the creators of The Wheel after breaking a basic rule on the BBC show. The 53-year-old will be seen on screens as one of the celebrity experts when the series returns later this year, but chances are some of his rotating scenes will come down to a hefty salary. Returning to his podcast after filming the show last week, Richard talked about his experience and answered questions from fans who wanted to know more about how the show is filmed. As the verbal exchange with his co-star Marina Hyde unfolded, the Pointless host still had no praise for the show’s host Michael McIntyre, calling the hosting skills a “masterclass. ” He shared: “He’s so brilliant, he’s brilliant with the punters, he’s brilliant with the famous experts. He surely drives this exhibition forward. You want constant power in this exhibition and he is just incredible after breaking a major rule.
