Jeremy Clarkson’s farmers’ choir to audition on BGT TOMORROW night as they bid to make show history
Members want the Clarkson’s Farm star to swap tractors for tunes and join them on stage if they go all the way in the telly competition.

They audition tonight in front of Alesha Dixon, KSI, Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell‘s stand-in, Stacey Solomon.

And Jezza is already buzzing with pride.

He told me: “When I had the idea for this choir, I worried it would come to nothing more than me, Kaleb and two cows honking tunelessly through Kumbaya.

“I never imagined it would actually become a glorious gathering of brilliant people and beautiful voices representing the beating heart of rural Britain.”
Backing Jezza to join them on stage, choir member Katryna Shell said: “We’d love something like that . . . He does actually sing as well, believe it or not. We have heard Jeremy sing.

“I won’t divulge further.  I’ll leave that up to you as to the tone in his voice.”

Make of that what you will . . .

Katryna revealed their shot at BGT fame is a dream come true.
She said: “I certainly didn’t anticipate ever being on Britain’s Got Talent. I haven’t got enough talent on my own, but as a collective, we have.”

Singer Ben Brooke added: “We’re just farmers, at the end of the day. But people kept saying there’s something special about us.

“I remember warming up and getting goosebumps, thinking, ‘Actually, that was pretty good’.”

Despite coming from all corners of the country, the group are inseparable — even meeting at Jeremy’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, near Burford in the Cotswolds.

Ben said: “It’s like being part of a big family. We’re not professional singers.

“We’re farmers — all of this is a bonus to us.”

But it’s the choir’s passion and cause that is winning people over.

Through their performances, they aim to shine a light on mental health in farming.

Ben said: “Farming can be super-isolating — the mental health statistics are awful.

“If we can help even one person, that’s the most important thing.”

Katryna added: “It’s not just that we’re singing, we’re doing it for a purpose.”
No choir has ever won BGT, but this group reckon they could.

And if they do go all the way to the final, I would not be surprised if Jezza joined them . . .
