I heard quite a while ago is was Ben Collins.
If you watch the old episode where they have a football match with the little cars he is one of the drivers.
Heard a rumour he is being replaced by a female stig.

I have been told by someone who is a personal friend of Ben Collins that it's not him as he is too big to be the stig! I was lead to believe it was in fact still Kovalainen ....

The Stig is any one of a pool of drivers that happen to be available when required for a shoot. This is why they obviously have to keep his identity a secret - There is no *one* Stig.

Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig
PMSL
One of the presenters of Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson, likes to jest about The Stig as if he is some sort of special creature rather than a man. According to Clarkson, "some say" that:
Raw meat is the Stig's favorite food.
He is terrified of bats.
His sweat can be used to clean precious metals.
His skin has the texture of dolphins.
If you tune your radio to 87.9 you can actually hear his thoughts.
He does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down (a reference to the The Matrix).
He forages for wolves at night.
He once punched a horse to the ground.
His politics are terrifying.
He lives in a tree.
His favourite philosopher is Immanuel Kant
He has no understanding of clouds.
His earwax tastes like Turkish Delight.
He is confused by stairs.
He can accumbularate.
There's an airport in Russia named after him.
He is wanted by the CIA.
His breath smells of magnesium.
He can catch fish with his tongue.
His tears are adhesive.
If set alight, he'd burn for a thousand days.
He is scared of ducks.
PS who and why do we care who the stig actually is? Good driving, just enjoy it.

I always suspected Johnny Herbert myself, but I guess having a pool of drivers would make sense from a practical point of view, although not good from an "empirical" (I use the term loosely) perspective as it makes comparisions of lap times more difficult.
