Victoria Mary Clarke and Shane MacGowan have defended Glen Hansard and Imelda May's rendition of Fairytale of New York on the Late Late show following debate.
Irish singers Hansard and May took on The Pogues classic Christmas hit during a festive special of the Friday night show with Ryan Tubridy last week.
But as viewers were left divided by the Dublin duo’s live cover, particularly a change to the original lyrics, Victoria took to social media to defend the singers, and said that MacGowan, who penned the hit track, also approved.
