Wow, the folk over at Top Gear do NOT seem very happy over the whole unmasking of the Stig debacle - so much so that they've decided to kill him off. Literally.
According to James May, he and his fellow hosts Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson are hoping to give The Stig a beating before killing him off in the same manner as his predecessor, the black Stig - racing driver Perry McCarthy - who was last seen by viewers driving off a cliff in 2003.
Ben Collins has found himself pretty unpopular with the cast since deciding to write a tell-all book, so there was clear venom coming from James May as he thought up possible death scenarios for the star.
"We start some filming next week. We've had some thoughts - driving to The Stig's house and nailing his head to the table was one. And getting our overalls back because they're not his. And those stupid, poncy shoes he wears. They're ours. And the gloves."
Collins was axed from the show on Wednesday after the BBC's failed licence payer-funded High Court battle against HarperCollins, who publish The Man In The White Suit in two weeks. Top Gear returns for its 16th series later this year.
