7. Zayn Malik
It’s more than a bit suspicious that Jeremy Clarkson got fired the same week that teen heartthrob Zayn Malik left One Direction. The night before Zayn finally threw in the rag, he apparently rang up his co-star and friend Harry Styles to have a heart-to-heart over the reasons for his leaving. We reckon that in this conversation he admitted that he was actually The Stig all along and in order to be promoted to a full-time host, he must first quit his music career before fully dedicating his life to cars.
