After the choir performed an emotional version of Elbow's One Day Like This and received the 'golden buzzer' from Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, meaning they are straight through to the semi-final, Mr Clarkson took to Instagram to praise the group. 

"I watched Britain's got talent tonight for the first time because the Hawkstone Choir were on, and they were just fantastic," he said. 

"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.  

"Thank you, Amanda Holden, for pressing that golden buzzer thing - I do not know what that means, but it obviously is important.  

"It shows that, I think people quite like farmers. And they were very, very good.  

"Well done, all of you. I mean, I am a very happy man tonight.
