Clarkson’s Farm star ‘threatens’ Simon Cowell ahead of BGT
Kaleb Cooper, best known for his role on the Amazon Prime series, has reportedly said he will “f*** up” the judge’s hedges if he says anything nasty about the Hawkstone Farmers Choir this evening (Saturday, May 30).
The group is appearing in the final of Britain’s Got Talent, which will air on ITV1 at 7pm today, and Jeremy Clarkson explained how he might react in his latest column for The Sun.

The choir – which includes several Oxfordshire locals – was originally founded by the former Top Gear Host to advertise his Cotswolds-based alcohol brand, Hawkstone.

The creation of the now popular drink brand was featured on hit show Clarkson’s Farm, which is set at 1,000-acre Diddly Squat Farm near Chadlington and will debut for the fifth series on June 3.
Meanwhile the Hawkstone Choir, which is a collective of real British farmers, has been making its way through the latest Britain’s Got Talent series, even securing judge Amanda Holden’s Golden Buzzer in the audition round.

The group is dedicated to raising awareness for mental health and suicide prevention in an industry often defined by isolation and intense financial pressure.

If they win the £250,000 grand prize, they have pledged to donate a significant portion to mental health charities supporting the farming community.
Writing in his column in The Sun, Mr Clarkson revealed he would be at the Hammersmith Apollo to cheer them on and said he would “probably faint” if they won.
About Simon Cowell, who also lives in Oxfordshire, he added: “And I have a message from Kaleb to Simon Cowell, who’s a neighbour of ours: ‘If you say anything nasty about them, I’ll get in my tractor and f*** up your hedge.'”
