Sadiq Khan's controversial night tsar Amy Lamé has claimed she is worth her whopping £120,000-a-year salary because it's a 'really big job'.

The globe-trotting 'night tsar' tried to defend her jet-setting lifestyle which has included luxury trips to Australia, Italy and Spain all while London's nightlife continues to flounder.

These fresh questions come after City Hall insisted just last week the trips were essential to 'share best practice, learn from other cities and build partnerships'.

But industry experts and the Conservative party have questioned whether she is providing value for money as startling figures showed the capital is falling behind cities such as Liverpool and Birmingham.
