Amanda Holden has shown her support for Clarkson's Farm star and fellow Cotswolds resident Jeremy Clarkson after he revealed his latest work project suffered somewhat of a setback.
Earlier this week, Clarkson revealed to the world that he and the team at his beer brand, Hawkstone, had put together an advert they hoped would be suitable for broadcast to try and boost sales.
With the help of the Hawkstone Farmers' Choir, Clarkson and a team of singing farmers teamed up to promote the alcoholic beverage in the short advert.
However, given the fact that farmers can be seen singing to the tune of "Flower Duet" from the opera Lakmé but have switched the original French lyrics to "it's f***ing good", the Advertising Standards Authority decided it wasn't suitable for broadcast.
"It’s a cock-up, as usual," Clarkson said following news of the ban. "I’ve made my biggest, most heartfelt, and frankly, most expensive advert ever, and it’s been banned.
"The fun police in their beige offices have decided that the public can’t be trusted to watch it.
"It’s been kicked off the telly, silenced on the radio, and barred from the cinema. Apparently, it’s 'not compliant'. With what, I have no idea. Common sense?"
Clarkson has instead decided to share the banned commercial across social media, and it's already received a glowing endorsement from BGT judge Holden.

The 54-year-old shared the advert to her Instagram page, simply typing in the accompanying caption: "Howling," followed by a crying with laughter emoji and a flexing muscle emoji.
Holden wasn't the only famous face to seemingly endorse the ad either, with GB News stars Eamonn Holmes and Tom Harwood "liking" Clarkson's social media post along with his farm manager, Kaleb Cooper.
Clarkson first premiered the commercial at this year's Hawkstone VIP Summer Party, in which GB News was in attendance.
Speaking to the exclusive guest list on stage, Clarkson discussed the advert further. "We decided a few months ago to make a television commercial, a Hawkstone television commercial which we could show in the middle of something like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, so even in the ad breaks you weren't deprived of me," he quipped.

"Sadly, we made it, at great expense, great difficulty, and it's been banned. Nobody will show it. We're told by the Advertising Standards Authority that it doesn't meet their high standards.
"Well, I'm going to show it to you now, and let's see if you can see what the problem is that these people have."
After showing the commercial on a big screen, Clarkson then joked: "Enid Blyton, I happen to know, when she wrote the Famous Five books, she described them as 'f***ing good'. Nobody minded - actually, she probably didn't.
"Anyway, we live in a strange world where that's going to become a social media sensation, I imagine."

|Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper are facing a difficult harvest this year
The advert's ban isn't the only setback Clarkson's had to deal with of late. He was forced to leave the Hawkstone VIP Summer Party early this year as the imminent harvest had proven to be a nightmare.
Shedding light on why the harvest was poised to be one of the worst on record, he said: " I'd like to apologise first of all for my slightly dishevelled state. We began the harvest over at Diddly Squat this very morning, and set off about 8:30am, Kaleb (for) the first time ever with his new combine doing the combining!
"8:45am, his combine broke down. Got the combine mended and then - and this is true - for the first time in four months, it rained. So that soaked all the oats that we were supposed to be harvesting."
The tumultuous conditions meant Cooper, who was supposed to attend the shindig, had to stay put.

Clarkson explained: "I've rushed over here and he sends his apologies, but he's sitting waiting for the moisture levels to drop so that he can get cracking because we know that we're on for a shocking harvest this year.
"I mean, if there are any farmers here, they'd tell you the same thing. Last year, it was the second worst recorded ever, and we think this year is going to be even worse because it just hasn't rained.
"That's really what this place and this beer is all about, as you know, we are trying to back British farming. That's why we thank all of you who are selling so much Hawkstone, we just can't thank you enough because you are backing British farming.
"If you go in a pub, and they've got Peroni, great, they're backing Italian farming and if they're Italian, that's fine... `but if they're not, that's just not on and we should set fire to the place. No, it is great and thank you so much for backing us."
