CLARKSON’S Farm star Kaleb Cooper jumped in the air in delight as he celebrated The Hawkstone Farmers Choir’s monumental Britain’s Got Talent win.
The Jeremy Clarkson-backed group – who left the former Top Gear star elated in the studio with their victory – narrowly beat drone art act Celestial to the top spot in a nail-biting final aired live on ITV.
The vocalists became the first ever choir to take the Britain’s Got Talent final and, after hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced the winner at the final held at London’s Eventim Apollo, crowds watching back at the Diddly Squat farm exploded into cheers.
Clarkson’s Farm favourite Kaleb, 27, led the pack gathered on land outside Jeremy’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, in Burford, while Jeremy flew the flag from the live event.
Kaleb was seen perched on a bench at the front of the screen, jiggling his legs with nerves and with his chin perched on his hands.
The farmer leaped up in joy as the results were revealed before hugging a pal in delight.
Farmer Kaleb re-posted a video, captured by the pub, to his own Instagram page capturing the jubilant scenes.
In the boozer’s caption they wrote: “Scenes from @thefarmersdogpub. @thehawkstonefarmerschoir, @bgt 2026 champions #backbritishfarming”.
Fans were quick to react to the upload and one wrote: “What a moment Hawkstone Farmers Choir”.
A second posted: “This is a great day for British farmers. Not only that, but representing the best of Britain”.
A third wrote: “What an incredible achievement massive congratulations”.
One then added: “Fantastic win and wonderful to highlight the mental health needs of farmers. Such a worthy cause”.
While Kaleb was watching from the farm, The Sun columnist Jeremy was in the live crowd.
After their victory during last night’s show, choir leader Katrina Hawkstone said: “We are the first ever choir to have won Britain’s Got Talent.
“This is for all the farmers out there.
“For anyone who’s struggling, it’s not a taboo subject, speak up!”
TV star Jeremy could be seen celebrating wildly in the audience, a look of disbelief on his face. He founded the 32-strong choir in 2024 for an advertising campaign to promote his Hawkstone beer and cider brand.
A total of 10 acts made it through to the ITV live final and performed in front of judges Simon Cowell, 66, Amanda Holden, 55, Alesha Dixon, 47, and KSI, 32.
Head judge Simon couldn’t call it, saying: “I haven’t got a bloody clue of who is going to win.”
Meanwhile girl band Mis-Teeq – starring Alesha – did a surprise performance on the night after announcing their 25th- anniversary show this month.
