Ireland's Eurovision entry Wild Youth have admitted that the recent clash with author J.K. Rowling has been "very stressful".
The band sparked controversy this week after they “cut all ties” with their creative director Ian Banham for comments he made on social media regarding Ukraine winning the song contest and his remarks on a story about a convicted transgender woman.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling then waded in on the row and accused them of “preening, self-satisfied misogyny” for sacking their Eurovision creative director over his tweets.
