The BBC has lost a legal fight to stop publication of a book which reveals the identity of Top Gear's driver The Stig.
The High Court in London refused to grant the BBC an injunction blocking the publication by HarperCollins of an autobiography of former Formula Three driver Ben Collins.
The book, called The Man In The White Suit, claims Mr Collins is the mystery driver on the BBC Two show.
The BBC began legal action against HarperCollins last week.
It says it won't confirm or deny that Ben Collins either was or remains The Stig.
But Top Gear presenter James May, who was a studio guest on BBC London when High Court's decision was announced, made light of the situation.
