Clarkson: The Stig is a tw*t

Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson has lashed out at Ben Collins who recently revealed himself to be the show's masked stunt driver, The Stig. Collins claimed that he wanted to publish a book detailing his career as The Stig.

The BBC claimed it would be a breach of contract if The Stig's identity was revealed and this resulted in the broadcaster taking legal action against Collins.

Collins argued that he had every right to publish a book as Top Gear presenters from the show. The case came to a head in court with Collins granted the right to publish his book.

Clarkson had some choice about words for Collins while speaking at a charity event in Oxfordshire, UK.

Clarkson expressed that he was clearly annoyed with Collins' decision labelling him as being "greedy".

“As you may know we’ve had a problem with The Stig. Everyone now knows his real name. It’s The Twat. Actually to give him his full name it’s The Greedy Twat."
