Author J.K. Rowling has defended choreographer Ian Banham, who was sacked by Eurovision hopefuls Wild Youth for his recent social media comments.
A row erupted this week after the band were made aware of tweets sent by their creative director Mr Banham, who reacted to various stories about transgenderism and Ukraine’s victory at the Eurovision.
One particular tweet caught the band’s attention when Mr Banham dismissed a violent rapist who identified as a woman, with singer Conor O’Donohue describing feeling "sick" when he read them.
