Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that "The Stig" has been sacked and hinted the character may now be done away with altogether.

British racing car driver Ben Collins has been embroiled in a legal battle with the BBC after threatening to reveal his identity in his autobiography.

The BBC tried to stop the move and Collins then confirmed he was the famously disguised test driver.

That move has cost him his job.

Clarkson told a community news service that he was upset that Collins had chosen to reveal his identity and suggested that they may do something different with the show's test driving segment.
