The Stig on his rift with Jeremy Clarkson
Показать описание
It has been five years since Ben Collins donned the white suit that made him famous, but at a recent Top Gear live show in Belfast he did just that.
He hadn’t seen Jeremy Clarkson since the former host had some choice words for him after he was revealed as The Stig in 2010 – following a legal battle with the BBC over his autobiography The Man In The White Suit.
Top Gear has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons of late – with the BBC choosing to not renew Clarkson’s contract in March after an his “fracas” with producer Oisín Tymon.
Collins, who now works as a stunt driver in films such as the James Bond franchise, described the incident as “sad” but – alluding to a rumoured deal between Clarkson and his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May with Netflix – added: “We might end up with two really cool car shows.”
Reports have been circulating that Hammond and May have turned down a multimillion pound deal from the BBC to stay on Top Gear without Clarkson.
So, how did Collins and Clarkson get on when they met recently?
