The much-loved presenter paid £341,525 in corporation tax in the year to May 2022 – indicating his income for the 12 months was £1.7million, reports The Mirror. 

It comes after Paul’s widow husband former professional dancer Andre Portasio put their lavish seven-bedroom mansion on the market for £3.5million. 

The Kent farmhouse, which was inherited by Andre when his late husband died, was listed on Rightmove at the start of October. 

The Liverpudlian had lived in Knoll House, which boasts four large reception rooms, from 1999 until his death in March 2023.

Eighteen months later, his widower has taken the decision to sell the luxury Edwardian building despite having recently won a fierce planning battle with neighbours. 

Locals had objected to the former dancer’s request to turn part of the mansion into the holiday let, accusing him of effectively building a new home ‘by the back door’. 

They also added that there was no need for more holiday lets in the area, citing fears of road accidents with a ‘constant stream of visiting car drivers unfamiliar with the property’s awkward access’.

As well as Knoll Hill House itself, the estate boasts a swimming pool and several outbuildings, including two self-contained cottages, a barn, and stables. 

As a keen animal lover, as many as 14 sheep, three dogs, two pigs, hundreds of rescued chickens, ducks, alpacas, goats and barn owls all call Knoll Hill home thanks to Paul.
