Beach babe Kelly Brook can’t keep her hands off chiselled husband Jeremy Parisi on loved-up French getaway

KELLY Brook showed she and husband Jeremy Parisi are as loved up as ever as she packed on the PDA on their French getaway this week.

The couple soaked up the sun during a beach day in Saint-Tropez, with Kelly, 46, showing off her famous curves in a patterned swimsuit while hugging her Italian other half.

Appearing in high spirits, Kelly pulled her brunette locks into a ponytail while taking a dip in the sea with Jeremy.

The couple were snapped beaming while sharing a hug at the busy shorefront.

Staying at the luxury wellness hotel Lily Of The Valley, Kelly and Jeremy have been enjoying the South Of France sunshine over the last week.

Alongside relaxing beachside, the couple have been hitting the gym and focusing on wellness during the trip.

And showing it’s clearly the place to be, Kelly has bumped into fellow celebs Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan during her trip.

The trio, who were all holidaying in the destination separately, bumped into one another by chance at beach hotspot Club 55.

Kelly shared a snap with Amanda and Piers from the beach restaurant to her Instagram as they all caught up.

The posh resort town is hours away from where Jeremy grew up in Paris, despite originally hailing from Italy.

And it seems he and Kelly have been touring around the country, first heading to Cassis, a fishing town east of Marseille, before making their way to Saint-Tropez.

The trip was to mark Jeremy’s birthday, with the male model turning 41 during their stay in Cassis.

Jeremy, who is five and a half years his wife’s junior, has been married to the star since 2022.

The couple tied the knot in a traditional ceremony in Italy, seven years after they began dating in 2015.

They first met on Instagram, with Kelly noticing her later-to-be husband on the app and sending him a message.

‘I visited Jeremy Clarkson’s farm shop – it was far from what I expected’

Everyone’s heard about Clarkson’s Farm, so a visit to the Diddly Squat Farm Shop is a must for any fan, but it might just surprise you as it did when I visited while in the Cotswolds

Eager to see what Jeremy Clarkson’s famed corporation was really like, earlier this month I visited his Diddly Squat Farm Shop on the grounds of The Farmer’s Dog in the Cotswolds. Truthly, it was far from what I had expected.

Ever since Clarkson graced our screens in 2021 to take on the mammoth and unexpected task of running his very own farm in the Cotswolds, I was invested. Not because I’m an avid Top Gear fan, but after seeing the mega operation of Clarkson’s Farm and the endless challenges that come with it, I wanted them to succeed.

That, along with the comical moments that unfolded between Jeremy and fellow farmer, Kaleb Cooper, as well as the iconic characters of Gerald Cooper, Charlie Ireland and Lisa Hogan, who contribute to the highly entertaining and beloved Amazon series.

So when I found myself spending the weekend in the Cotswolds, a visit to Diddly Squat Farm Shop was top of my list.

While the flagship farm shop is in Chipping Norton, another of Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm Shops is in Burford. With ample space on the grounds, this is where you can also find The Farmer’s Dog, Clarkson’s pub and restaurant, which gets fully booked every weekend, as I quickly discovered. Yet, there was so much more on the site than I had initially anticipated.

From the moment Google Maps told me I had arrived at my destination, I was bewildered by how busy the car park was. I mean, it was a Saturday afternoon, but it was a gloomy day in May, and it was absolutely packed with fellow Clarkson’s farm fans who were just as eager to experience the show for themselves.

As I crossed the road and walked into the sprawling site, underneath towering woodland adorned with string lights, people were carrying crates of Hawkstone’s beer and an array of Clarkson merch. And that was just the start.

I was amazed by how big the grounds were and how much there was to do. While The Farmer’s Dog prompted the opening of this space, it’s rapidly grown to include an outdoor food van, The Farmer’s Dough, selling pizzas, and two bars pouring pints of Clarkson’s Hawkstone beer.

Then, of course, there was The Grand Tour tent, and for anyone a fan of the show, will remember Clarkson sparking up the genius idea to get in touch with his fellow Top Gear connections to use the tent as part of his franchise.

As I unassumingly strolled into the tent, decorated with more string lights and the iconic The Grand Tour sign still in place, I was taken aback by its scale and the amount on offer. Alongside its bar, there was an incredibly well-stocked butcher’s, a variety of tables and chairs packed with visitors, and two shops.

In one corner was the Hops & Chops, where I found a huge amount of The Farmer’s Dog merchandise, from t-shirts, caps, farming shirts, mugs, hip flasks, dog beds and dog jackets. There were also Hawkstone socks, bags, glasses, wine and of course, their signature beer. I couldn’t believe how much merch was laid before me, with clearly a huge demand for it, and its ever-growing popularity.

On the other side of the tent was the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, selling everything from fresh produce, spirits, snacks, books, clothing, aftershave and the iconic ‘This smells like my boll**ks’ candle, all under Clarkson’s brand. He’s clearly doing incredibly well, and for a fan like me, it’s easy to see why.

Clarkson has created an inviting space where you could easily spend hours or an afternoon. There’s a sprawling garden with views across the rolling countryside and dozens of outdoor benches for visitors to enjoy a refreshing Hawkstone beer.

It’s easily one of the best pub gardens I’ve been to, simply due to the copious amount of space available, and it’s even better for those who can’t secure a booking at The Farmer’s Dog. There’s even a traditional pub game of Aunt Sally to enjoy, where players throw wooden battens in an attempt to knock over a small skittle that is positioned on a pole around 30 feet away.

During my visit, I had my first taste of Hawkstone’s, opting for a pint of the IPA for £7, and I was impressed. You never quite know what you’ll get with a celebrity beverage, but I would happily drink it again. Elsewhere on the bar menu was their premium lager, session lager, premium lager zero, and the Kaleb cider, Hedgerow cider, rhub**tard cider, black stout and elderflower lager top.

While I expected to walk in and spend a few minutes browsing the farm shop offerings, I ended up staying for a few hours, in a place where there was no rush to leave. Even when the heavens opened, visitors scurried under the garden umbrellas, not being deterred from their day out at Clarkson’s farm.

Simon Cowell takes swipe at ‘smug’ Jeremy Clarkson as he teases rival over Britain’s Got Talent choir

During the last semi-final, The Hawkstone Farmers Choir performed Bastille’s Pompeii and managed to bag their place in the final next week but Simon Cowell had a cheeky dig at their founder Jeremy Clarkson

Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell made a cheeky dig at Jeremy Clarkson on last night’s show.

The former Top Gear host founded The Hawkstone Farmers Choir after scouring the country for 34 British farmers who wanted to work together and create ads to save pubs and farms.

Earlier this year Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir auditioned for the ITV reality competition and managed to win Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer, sending them straight through to the semi-finals after wowing with a rendition of Elbow classic One Day Like This. Just prior to belting out the famous track, member Katrina explained to the judges that Jeremy himself had set the choir up, having been sponsored by the Hawkstone Brewery that the TV star co-owns in the Cotswolds.

At the time in response to the golden buzzer audition While visibly holding back tears Jeremy thanked Amanda Holden for pressing the Golden Buzzer. He said: “It shows that people quite like farmers. They were very very good, well done all of you. I’m a very happy man tonight.”

During the last semi-final, the 32-strong chior performed Bastille’s Pompeii and managed to bag their place in the final next week.

Simon said to the choir: “You’re not a professional choir, however I love what you stand for. It might be quite annoying to see Jeremy Clarkson‘s smug face, that’s the only downside. He’s a friend of mine. However more importantly this is about you and you did brilliantly well congratulations.”

While Simon’s comments were not all positive, it was clearly only banter between two friends.

Jeremy was over the moon at the chior’s win and in celebration filmed a short video at farm-fest with partner Kaleb Cooper. The duo filmed themselves congratulating the singers in front of a cheering crowd at Farm Fest.

Jeremy Vine red faced after famous pop star walks in on ‘seriously private moment’

Love Your Weekend host Alan Titchmarsh questioned Jeremy Vine after the presenter opened up about an embarrassing celebrity encounter.

Jeremy Vine has shared a cringe-worthy story about meeting one of pop music’s biggest stars under rather unfortunate circumstances.

Love Your Weekend With Alan Titchmarsh returned to ITV this morning, with the much-loved presenter heading to The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent for this week’s episode.

Alan Titchmarsh, 77, was joined by BBC presenter and journalist Jeremy, Michael Flatley and Kate Fleetwood, while dog-in-training Titch also made a welcome reappearance.

The veteran host kicked off the programme by quizzing his celebrity guests about their greatest “pinch me moments”.

Jeremy then launched into a rather risqué anecdote about a particularly memorable bathroom visit during his time at BBC Radio 2, prompting Alan to step in with a cautionary word.

“Behind Radio 2 reception there was a loo…” he began, as Alan interjected: “I think you’re going to take this slightly downmarket…”

“I wont!” Jeremy insisted as Alan questioned: “Is this really necessary?”

Jeremy then explained: “I’ve got to tell this story; I’ve got to unload because I haven’t really told it before.”

Alan then cheekily warned Jeremy that the phrase ‘I’ve really got to unload’ hardly inspired great confidence given the direction the tale was heading, reports the Express.

Undeterred, Jeremy continued: “So behind Radio 2 reception there is a single cubicle toilet and it was always locked because the receptionist said we don’t want anyone going in there for obvious reasons.

“And one day I was bursting and I could see the door unlocked, so I say, ‘Do you mind if I go in?’ and I lock the door and I’m in a seated position…

“You’re on the verge of oversharing!” Alan exclaimed, as Jeremy continued: “I don’t understand what’s going on outside the door because I’ve got no idea.

“But Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees has said to reception, ‘I need to use the loo urgently.’

“And reception looks round and the door is locked because it always is because they lock the door to stop people using it,” he clarified.

“So they gave him the master key and I’m sitting in the loo in a seriously private moment and [the door] suddenly opens and Barry Gibb walks in!

“This is the guy who wrote Islands in the Stream!” Jeremy added, as the studio erupted into laughter.

“He walks in a completely continuous movement and I think he made the noise ‘ha?!'” the presenter said, imitating a similar sound to what the Bee Gees sing in their famous track, Stayin’ Alive.

“I’ve only met him once and that was it,” Jeremy concluded, as Alan swiftly steered the conversation elsewhere.

For her standout moment, Kate recounted the occasion she encountered legendary Hollywood actor Dustin Hoffman following a theatrical performance.

She recalled being completely starstruck having previously watched him in classics such as Tootsie and The Graduate, while younger cast members recognised him from the animated blockbuster Kung Fu Panda.

Meanwhile, Michael disclosed he had recently had an audience with Pope Leo XIV, describing it as amongst the greatest days of his life.

Love Your Weekend With Alan Titchmarsh airs every Sunday at 9.30am on ITV1 and ITVX.

Jeremy Clarkson ‘rushed to hospital’ and battling heart issues in Clarkson’s Farm trailer

A new trailer for Clarkson’s Farm has shown a moment when Jeremy Clarkson was hospitalised after suffering an issue with his heart where it “wasn’t getting any blood”

A new trailer for Clarkson’s Farm has shown the horrifying moment when star Jeremy Clarkson had to be hospitalised after a heart scare. In the clip, he told colleague Kaleb Cooper that his heart “wasn’t getting any blood”.

The trailer for season five was released on 18 May. It started with clips about life at Diddly Squat, including Jeremy’s pursuit of a driverless tractor, but the tone suddenly shifted when he opened up about a recent hospitalisation.

Clips of the star in hospital, with wires connected to his chest, just after a clip of an ambulance racing down a country road. Jeremy could be heard telling Kaleb: “You’ve got three arteries that feed your heart to keep it pumping. My heart wasn’t getting any blood.”

The camera cut to Kaleb’s shocked face before another Diddly Squat farmer said: “To be fair, my mother dropped dead of heart attack at 67.” Jeremy responded that this was “cheery news”.

Jeremy has faced heart issues before. In 2024, he went through a heart procedure where he has a stent put in to open up a blocked artery after suffering from tightness in the chest. Writing in his column for the Sunday Times, the then 64-year-old said he thought he was having a heart attack because the symptoms were so familiar: “I certainly wasn’t having a heart attack. But if it hadn’t looked that way, I never would have been sent to hospital.”

Though he will discuss his latest hospitalisation in Clarkson’s Farm, Jeremy does not seem to be letting his heart scare slow him down. The rest of the new trailer showed him to be getting stuck into life at the farm as it battled a tuberculosis outbreak among the animals.

It also saw him consider using a driverless tractor. In the trailer, Jeremy is sitting in his office and talking to Charlie Ireland: “I’ve had a brainwave, don’t worry.” Charlie was left shocked when he was handed a piece of paper that had plans for a driverless tractor.

The footage cut to said tractor, which was described as the “Starship Enterprise of farming”, working away on the land and Jeremy declaring to farmhand Kaleb: “Behold my technology at work.” Kaleb responded: “That is basically taking my job.”

But, Kaleb didn’t have to worry about his job as the tractor soon stopped moving in the middle of ploughing a field. “That went well,” Kaleb joked.

The new series was greenlit by Prime Video back on November 5, 2024 and filming took place last year. The first four episodes will be released on 3 June and the remaining will arrive in batches on the 10th and 17th.

Prime Video have not said if the show will continue after the upcoming series, but Jeremy has expressed his desire to have the show come back for at least two more seasons.

“We’ll definitely do six – Amazon want to [do season six] and I want to. I’ve got a good idea for six,” Clarkson told The Sun earlier this year. “I said I’ll stop doing them when there are no more ideas. But I’ve got two quite good ones, so we’ll do six and then we’ll see.”

Jeremy Clarkson accused of huge Who Wants To Be A Millionaire spoiler by ‘stifling laugh’

Jeremy Clarkson may have given one contestant a major clue in the most recent episode of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire after he was caught ‘stifling laugh’ at a player’s answer.

Jeremy Clarkson has been accused of giving a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire player major hand in the game after being unable to control his exasperation.

In Sunday night’s episode of the ITV quiz show, Jeremy met contestant Arunan Jeyakumar from Newbury Park. Unfortunately, Arunan wasn’t quite up to the challenge, leaving with just £1,000 after using up three lifelines.

During one key moment of the episode, Jeremy asked Arunan about dances: ‘Which of these dances would tyically be performed to rock and roll music? Jive/Waltz/ Cha-Cha/Rumba?’

While taking his time to think, Arunan said he was considering the waltz, but knew it wasn’t the Cha-Cha or Rumba.

After looking at Arunan, Jeremy then lifted his hand to his head and rubbed his eye in an exasperated pose, but said nothing. Arunan then changed his answer and answered correctly, telling Jeremy it was the ‘Jive’.

Fans spotted this moment during the show, with one saying on X: “@JeremyClarkson How you stifled the laugh when he said the Waltz was calling out to him, I thought you were going to lose it.”

Jeremy replied to the comment with one simple word: “Unbelievable.”

Although Arunan was able to make it though this question unscathed, the next was his downfall as he was asked ‘Which of these is not a capital city? Bratislava/Sofia/Istanbul/Warsaw?’

He wrongly chose Sofia and ended up walking away with just £1,000. Clarkson told him very bluntly: “I think that the basic problem is you don’t know very many things. This maybe was the wrong show for you to be on.”

The former Top Gear star host seemed frustrated that no one was winning big on the show, quipping: “Welcome back to Who Wants To Win Nothing At All.. as it should be called.”

In the same episode, one woman lost a staggering £186,000 by risking all – making her the show’s second ever biggest loser. It all went wrong on her £500,000 question. She was asked: “According to Guinness World Records, which of these has travelled at over 260 miles per hour during a competitive game or match? Tennis ball/Ice hockey puck/Badminton shuttlecock/Table tennis ball”

Jen used her Phone-A-Friend lifeline but her dad, Chris, didn’t know. Clarkson warned her: “You are now completely on your own and have no more lifelines. If you get this wrong, if you go for it and get it wrong, you lose £186,000.”

And he advised that she did have the option of not answering the question at all and still walking away with a big win. He said: “You can go home with £250,000.”

But she reasoned: “Would I be more annoyed at giving it go and getting it wrong…. Or not giving it a go?” In the end she pressed ahead guessed an ice hockey puck, with the correct answer being shuttlecock.

The audience gasped at her huge loss and this comes just one week after the presenter gleefully crowned retired IT analyst Roman Dubowski a £1m winner.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire episodes air on Sunday nights at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

‘I worked on Clarkson’s Farm and this is what Jeremy Clarkson is really like’

Harriet Cowan, who stepped in for Kaleb Cooper on Clarkson’s Farm, has opened up about what Jeremy Clarkson is really like off camera after spending 11 weeks living and working at Diddly Squat Farm

Harriet Cowan has disclosed what Jeremy Clarkson was truly like. Harriet, 25, emerged as one of the standout personalities of series four of Clarkson’s Farm when she deputised for Kaleb Cooper.

She spent 11 weeks residing in a caravan at Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire assisting the former Top Gear host in managing the land. The ex-full-time nurse charmed viewers with her remarkable farming expertise and sharp-witted comebacks to the TV presenter.

Now Harriet, who left nursing behind to concentrate on farming and content creation, has revealed what Jeremy was like away from the cameras. On the Fed By Farmers podcast, she explained: “It was a different dynamic, he was like a father figure when I was there. He was lovely.”

She continued to disclose that people were eager to express their views on Jeremy after discovering she was on the programme. Harriet commented: “He’s like Marmite isn’t he?

“Off the back of the show people would always be like, ‘Oh I hate that guy,’ or ‘I love that guy,’ and I think he just doesn’t care, which is great.”

Harriet has previously stated she knew who Jeremy was before participating in Clarkson’s Farm, but hadn’t watched any of his earlier work. She admits she “wasn’t really into the cars thing” as a youngster.

However, after being approached by Charlie Ireland, Jeremy’s land agent, she was “intrigued” by the opportunity of featuring on the Amazon Prime Video series. She characterises Jeremy as “very much like every other farmer I’ve ever met”.

Speaking to The Times, she revealed that the former Grand Tour presenter was “very much willing to learn”. Jeremy, 66, found his career taking an unexpected turn towards farming in 2019 when the tenant at his farm retired.

He had originally purchased the 1,000-acre plot in 2008, with the-then Curdle Hill Farm being managed by a local resident. After opting to run the farm himself, Jeremy renamed it Diddly Squat Farm and chronicled his experiences on television.

Harriet reveals that it soon became apparent that Jeremy “wanted to do well by the farm”. She also quips that the television personality has the “physique of a farmer”.

While Harriet stopped short of confirming whether she would be returning to Clarkson’s Farm, she did admit to harbouring ambitions of purchasing her own farm in the future alongside partner James Booth.

She went on to say: “I just want somewhere that’s mine that I can just say, you know, I want to grow store cattle and sell them for fat or whatever.

“I want it to be all mine, that I’ve done all that, and look at them and say, ‘I’ve done that’. So that’s the plan, a few very exciting new TV things coming off and YouTube I’m c**p at.”

‘Blue Heron’ review: Filmmaker recreates family’s past to process grief

Sophy Romvari’s luminous debut feature “Blue Heron” is a loving and studious act of remembrance. Her protagonist and surrogate, Sasha (Amy Zimmer), attempts to understand her family’s past through a reverent process of recreation. While she finds that not everything can be understood, there is beauty and solace in the journey itself — and maybe a kind of catharsis.

“Blue Heron” is an autobiographical project, but it’s more apt to call it a memoir. Sasha admits she doesn’t remember much of her childhood and doesn’t even trust the fragments. But she will try anyway. As Sasha zooms in on her iPhone, standing at the bluff overlooking her hometown, Romvari rolls up the back of a moving truck to deliver a lush slice of ’90s childhood nostalgia, picking up the memory as her Hungarian immigrant family — two parents, three brothers and one sister — arrive at their new home on Canada’s Vancouver Island.

Father (Ádám Tompa) settles into work on the home computer; Mother (Iringó Réti) attempts to amuse the kids with trips to the beach and nature preserves. Snippets of summer filter through the eyes and ears of 8-year-old Sasha (Eylul Guven) and in the photos snapped by their parents.

But a disquieting presence looms: Jeremy (Edik Beddoes), the eldest son. Blond, light-featured and tall, he is visually distinct from the three other children and his silent rebellion permeates the atmosphere.

His misbehavior is minor — irritating but untenable when stacked together — like bouncing a ball against a wall, disappearing for fun or climbing on the roof. He mostly just seems like a moody, unsatisfied teen, drawing elaborate maps and sometimes playing with his siblings sweetly. It all seems like harmless mischief until it escalates.

The movie’s title refers to a key chain from a gift shop that Jeremy, who almost never speaks, presents to his younger sister. Like him, the film is quiet and meditative, bathed in the cool blues and verdant greens of the setting, captured in Maya Bankovic’s saturated cinematography. We are transported to a place of natural beauty and a period of seemingly unlimited time. But Jeremy-related tension simmers beneath the domestic surface, just as it does in Chantal Akerman’s 1975 landmark “Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles,” referenced in a shot of a mother and daughter peeling potatoes.

“Blue Heron,” though, is not just going to simply be a throwback family drama about a troubled boy and his younger sister. The film suddenly zooms out, linearly, to two decades later. Zimmer’s older version of Sasha is grappling with her brother’s void and she does so with her mind, her work, her actions. She conducts a focus group of social workers for a documentary in order to try to understand Jeremy’s behavior and the treatment he got at the time. She scrubs through video and photos and interviews a case worker. She escapes into old movies.

In Romvari’s award-winning 2020 short “Still Processing,” a companion piece to “Blue Heron,” she processes the loss of two brothers through photography, sifting through boxes of old photos and film negatives shot by her father, who trained as a cinematographer in Hungary. It seems natural for Romvari to access the emotional through artistic practice, to give her — and Sasha — something to do with their hands. The tactility of the photographs in “Still Processing” provide an access point to the past. Romvari weeps as she spreads them out on a table, saying “hi” softly to her brothers. But there’s a remove in the rigorous focus on the snapshots that perhaps also protects her from the full crushing weight of these emotions.

But in a film like “Blue Heron,” anything is possible, including time travel, and for Romvari, it’s the channel that she offers Sasha to achieve the closure that she needs: a visit to a time she doesn’t really remember, even as she’s building an archive of materials to bolster herself.

If young Sasha watches (and Guven is absolutely terrific at watching), the older Sasha speaks. Zimmer, a New York City comedian, is tasked with a heavy, grief-laden dramatic role, and she’s utterly convincing, entrancing in her stillness. But she also has a way with words, a clarity that rings with a rare kind of honest empathy, especially in a letter that Sasha reads to her parents.

That letter is what “Blue Heron” represents for its filmmaker — an attempt to re-create the past, to bring it back to life. Even if imperfect, the value is in the effort, in the ongoing practice of remembering, as an act of devotion to family and self.

Jeremy Clarkson’s choir land role in ‘uplifting’ TV series after BGT success

Jeremy Clarkson’s choir has reportedly landed a starring role on his new series after wowing with their Britain’s Got Talent audition that sent them straight to the semi-finals

Jeremy Clarkson’s choir has landed a starring role on his new series after wowing with their Britain’s Got Talent audition. The former Top Gear presenter, 66, has documented the ups and downs of Diddly Squat in the Cotswolds on his Amazon Prime series Clarkson’s Farm since 2021, with a fifth batch of episodes expected to be released later this year.

Just weeks ago, Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir auditioned for the ITV reality competition and managed to win Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer, sending them straight through to the semi-finals after wowing with a rendition of Elbow classic One Day Like This. Just prior to belting out the famous track, member Katrina explained to the judges that Jeremy himself had set the choir up, having been sponsored by the Hawkstone Brewery that the TV star co-owns in the Cotswolds.

With the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent just weeks away, insiders have revealed that the group of more than 30 farmers, will also enjoy another television stint with a role on the next series of Clarkson’s Farm.

A source said: “Filming for series five is well and truly under way and the finished show is likely to air next year. Fans will, however, be able to see series four in a matter of weeks, though according to Jeremy it’s a rather darker season than we’ve been used to.”

Speaking to The Sun, the source added: “Hawkstone Farmers’ ChoirBut the appearance of the Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir in the following outing is going to make it more uplifting. They’re going to have to get used to being even more famous though.”

Just after their success on BGT was aired in March, Jeremy took to social media to congratulate them. He said: “I watched Britain’s Got Talent tonight for the first time because the Hawkstone Choir were on and they were just fantastic.

“These guys are all farmers and they work incredibly hard for really incredibly small rewards, and to see them all on that stage with all that love in the room made my heart sing – I actually welled up.”

While visibly holding back tears he went on to thank Amanda Holden for pressing the Golden Buzzer. He added: “It shows that people quite like farmers. They were very very good, well done all of you. I’m a very happy man tonight.”

The short video attracted comments from fellow BGT viewers, one wrote: “I was crying like a baby, the sentiment, the emotion, they’re sensational. They Will Win.” Another wrote: “Truly awesome really heartfelt.”

Speaking about getting the Golden Buzzer, Katryna Shell from Northumberland said: “The choir has turned into something so much more than singing…

“We have come together as a community, something I didn’t even anticipate. The choir is filled with all sorts of people with varying ages, singing experience, parts of the country, but we all have farming linking us together – it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.”

Hugh Thomas, from Pembrokeshire said: “I had to pinch myself – this was really happening to an old boy from Pembrokeshire! Performing on National TV wasn’t something I ever envisaged… More importantly it will shine a light on agriculture, farming and the rural economy.”
