As snowfall and freezing conditions continuing to cause havoc across the country this week a mystery visitor has appeared in a pub garden in Surrey.

The snowman - or should that be snow Stig - was made by customers at the William Bray in Shere and bears a strong resemblance to the mystery racing driver from the TV show Top Gear.

But could his identity finally be revealed? The pub's owner is former Formula One driver Julian Bailey, who took part in 20 Grand Prix races in the 1980s and 1990s.

Sources at the pub were remaining tight-lipped but one said: "a snow Stig has appeared in the Surrey Hills as rumours snowball about owner Julian Bailey's association with Top Gear's mystery man in white".
