Demands mount for Dermot Kennedy to apologise after his use of a controversial term during a recent interview.
Dermot came under fire after discussing the origin of the word 'k******' in an interview with Canadian music channel 'Much'. Dermot mentioned that the term is often used to describe a state of tiredness, but also highlighted its problematic undertones.
He told the host: "If I was tired, I would say I'm 'knackered.' Similarly, if you call someone a ''k******' it's really bad- to the best of my knowledge it describes a horse in the yard that's dying."
