Lizzie Atkins, a friend of Mr Kitchen's and a member of the theatre group, described him as a "remarkable man".

Lineker's BBC work also includes coverage of the FA Cup final and Sports Personality of the Year.As usual, the BBC's annual report does not paint the full picture of what star presenters at the BBC earn.

A huge number are not listed because the corporation does not have to make public the salaries of stars who are paid through its commercial arm BBC Studios or via independent production companies.Edwards was third on the list, with BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James in fourth, with a salary of between £415,000 and £419,999 (an increase of £20,000).Radio presenter Stephen Nolan and Fiona Bruce, who presents BBC One's Question Time and fronts other BBC coverage, earned between £405,000 and £409,999. Her work on Antiques Roadshow is not included.

Desert Island Discs and 6 Music host Lauren Laverne is next (£395,000 - £399,999), with football presenter Alan Shearer just behind (£380,000 - £384,999). Shearer saw a salary drop of £65,000 on last year.BBC Breakfast and 5 Live presenter Naga Munchetty and Today host and podcast presenter Nick Robinson both earned between £345,000 and £349,000.

Robinson's salary increased by £70,000 on last year.

Neither Munchetty nor Robinson made the top 10 last year."There might be people in that far-right spectrum that will think twice," he said.

"We’re not going to be able to change everyone’s mind, but that positivity can spread like wildfire."Mr Kelwick said some people had been dismissive and sceptical about the mosque's efforts and dismissed the social media coverage as attention-seeking.

But Mr Kelwick said perhaps they were missing the point.He added: "Yes, I am doing this for publicity because I want this message of hope and coming together to get out as far as possible."
