Now, I’ve no idea what goes on in some of the farms across the island, but there are more than a few male farmers who have no difficulty in dancing in thigh-high, well-heeled boots.

In fact, if anything, the Young Farmers’ concerts prove that the menfolk of our island’s farms need no encouragement to strip off or jump into women’s clothing.

However, amidst all the singing, dancing and lingerie, the Eastern Young Farmers emerged victorious at the end of the Young Farmers’ concerts, at the Gaiety Theatre on Saturday evening.

Their 45-minute show, entitled ’I’m A Manxie, Get Me Out Of Here’, which was based very loosely around the ITV show, featured a raft of famous Manx characters and public figures, including Dot Tilbury, a Bee Gee, one or two high profile MHKs and a show-stealing impression of Guy Martin.

The set pieces, including a bizarre sing-along in a spa featuring Ant and Dec, Guy and Mark Cavendish had the sold out crowd in uproar, and the final scene, with Guy and one of the many Claire Bettisons strapped to a pair of revolving discs, which came perilously close to disaster, almost brought the house down. All this was interspersed with some eye-catching and dynamic dance sequences.

Last year’s winners, the Southern Young Farmers, were voted second with their take on Manx/Russian relationships, and featured two very funny stand out scenes, one based around the horse trams, which also won the best scene and one featuring dancing ex-MHKs in rubbish bins, which featured some stunning, inspired costumes.

The Central Young Farmers paid a touching tribute to former member and ex-Middle MHK Martyn Quayle, who died last year, by performing a show based around the Royal Agricultural Show, part of which Martyn himself performed many years ago on the same stage.

The Northern Young Farmers lonely farmers’ dating agency had some funny moments, the scene featuring Sam Morrey and Jamie Stoutt sharing a bath together being the most memorable.

The prize for the best young performer was won by William Moore, aged 17, from the Eastern Young Farmers for his portly impression of Howard Quayle.

The Chief Minister was the butt of many jokes of the farmers, along with a selfie-obsessed Kirree Kermode. The Northern Young Farmers even had both characters passionately rolling on the floor at one point.

There were many other prizes given out, including best individual performer, which went to Stephen Crowe for his portrayal of Guy Martin, and to the Southern Farmers for their hilarious routine, featuring Andrew Corrin and Percy Hampton as Bolshoi ballerinas. Southern also won the best dance routine, accepted by choreographer Rachel Cringle.
