He's sacked," said Clarkson, who was interviewed at a charity auction at Chipping Norton Lido. You may remember a film called Wall Street in which Gordon Gekko said greed was good and greed works.
It doesn't, if you're watching this children, greed is bad," he added. Clarkson hinted that the Stig as a character may no longer continue on Top Gear, saying: "Trust me, we have many, many thousands of people queueing up to be whatever it is we create. Collins is the second person to play the Stig who has revealed his identity.
That was until recently when a video popped up showing the black Stig coming out from the ocean and walking on a beach towards a group of guys as they were playing football. According to reports anyone playing the role of the Stig must sign a confidentiality agreement stating that he will never reveal his true identity.
Should his name become public either through his own doing or that of any BBC Topgear employee then he will be killed off. That's exactly what happened to former British racing driver Perry McCarthy after revealing he was the black Stig. A few months ago the name of Ben Collins came out stronger and stronger as the best candidate for the identity of the current Stig with one newspaper claiming with certainty that the Stig was indeed Collins.
Here's the lowdown on the intriguing driver At original Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's public school Repton, all new boys were called "stig". Seeing as Top Gear producer Andy Wilman also went to Repton, their school in-joke became the name for this anonymous test driver. In the original Top Gear series, the Stig test-drove cars, set lap times and trained up celebrities for segments.
The fact he was a professional racing driver meant viewers could not quibble over whether he was qualified to set the bar for the presenters and guests. Most are violent, or completely useless. Some have amazing talent, like painting, and some have only rudimentary car knowledge. Introduced on the 28th of March, as Stig's Digital Cousin.

The Stig's true identity is never revealed on the show, and in order to maintain the secrecy, all shots show him wearing full racing overalls and matching Simpson Diamondback helmet. All that can be seen from the gap between The Stig 's helmet and jumpsuit is that he is a white male with dark hair. It is also known that he wears Size 9 racing boots as discovered by the Sunday Times and a well-timed camera flash managed to show The Stig's eyes by Auto Trader. Following Perry McCarthy and Ben Collins outing themselves as the first two incarnations of The Stig, it is strongly believed that the race driver portraying the third and so far, longest lasting incarnation of The Stig since is Phil Keen.
This was due to a faux pas made by presenters Matt LeBlanc and Rory Reid , who both followed the otherwise relative-unknown on their social media accounts.
