Jeremy Clarkson left in tears as Britain’s Got Talent final results booed by audience

This year's winners of Britain's Got Talent were the Hawkstone Farmer's Choir and their victory left Jeremy Clarkson in tears, but there were some boos in the audience when they found out where other acts placed.

The victorious choir had been put together by Clarkson as part of an advert he was making for his beer, but they've since kept singing to raise awareness for the mental health of farmers.

During their audition one of their members named Catriona described the choir thusly: "Jeremy Clarkson did a thing, and that thing was the Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir.

"Jeremy brought us together to sing and it’s just been really amazing for us all. Every single one of us is in agriculture in some way or another. This isn’t our day job, we’re normally out in the field.

"We work by ourselves day in, day out, sometimes 16 hours a day. This has brought us all together… We have one thing that unites us and that is farming. We love what we do, but it’s incredibly lonely. It’s really isolating, to do this all together means the world to us."

The group of 32 were given the Golden Buzzer by Amanda Holden earlier in the BGT running which guaranteed their advancement, and they've been popular with the judges and the audience ever since.

In the finale they sang an original song of theirs called 'This Is Home', and the TV cameras spotted an emotional Clarkson in the audience with tears in his eyes.

Once they were done singing the judges said they'd given an 'amazing performance' that 'sounded fantastic', while Simon Cowell called the choir 'the best act we've seen so far tonight'.

The viewing public evidently agreed since the Hawkstone Farmer's Choir won the show, but there had previously been some booing for the audience after discovering that the singer Matty Juniosa and the dancing troupe LMA didn't make it into the final announcement.

Some viewers on social media even complained of a 'fix' where they thought the strings were being pulled behind the showbiz scenes so Clarkson's choir would win.

Then again, Britain's Got Talent winners are decided by a public vote so the final winner isn't really up to the judges or anyone else who isn't willing to put in the effort required to pick a winner.

If they'd wanted their preferred acts to finish higher they could have twiddled their thumbs in the direction of their phone in service to something other than a disgruntled post.

That's another year of Britain's Got Talent done and dusted anyway, and the Hawkstone Farmer's Choir get the cash prize of £250,000 and the chance to sing at the Royal Variety Performance.
