Farmers across the nation are expected to back the Hawkstone Farmers' Choir in this Saturday's Britain's Got Talent semi-final

Following their Britain's Got Talent ‘golden buzzer' appearance back in March, the near 40-strong Hawkstone Farmers' Choir will be back on national television this Saturday evening with a song set to pull on the heartstrings of the nation.

Voting

Farmers up and down the country are expected to tune in and vote live, and are encouraged to register advance to vote via the ITVX app.

Ahead of the choir's semi-final performance this Saturday on ITV1, Ben Brooke, an arable farmer from March in Cambridgeshire, said the group were 'doing it for the people that are not here in the farming industry anymore', highlighting the toll the isolation and pressure within farming has on many within the community. 

Community

"The sense of community within the farming industry is incredible but it is a lonely and isolating job," said choir member and Northumberland farmer Katryna Shell, adding: "Joining the choir has meant so much to me."

Britain's Got Talent is on ITV1, Saturday May 23, 7pm.
