Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir Wins Britain’s Got Talent

The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir has been named the winner of the 2026 edition of Britain’s Got Talent. The group made history during the ITV talent show’s live final on May 30, 2026, becoming the first choir to ever win the competition.

As winners of the competition, the choir will receive a £250,000 cash prize. They have also earned the opportunity to perform at the annual Royal Variety Performance.

The choir was assembled by TV presenter and Clarkson’s Farm host Jeremy Clarkson, 66. Members of the group credited Clarkson as their biggest cheerleader and expressed gratitude for his support leading up to the final.

Performance and Judge Reactions

The group performed an original song titled This Is Home during the final. Judge Simon Cowell stated that he had initially questioned the decision to perform an original piece, but noted that the risk paid off.

Cowell described the performance as joyous, heartfelt, and absolutely stunning. Fellow judge Amanda Holden was brought to tears by the performance, while judge KSI, born Olajide Olatunji, said he intended to add the original song to his Spotify playlist.

Dedication to the Farming Community

Following the announcement of their victory, choir member Katryna Shell addressed presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, dedicating the win to the farming community and those facing mental health challenges.

This is for all the farmers out there, for anybody that’s struggling, it’s not a taboo subject, if you’re not OK, speak up, this is for the farmers.
