Ireland’s Eurovision hopefuls, four-piece pop-rockers Wild Youth, will be appearing on The Late Late Show on Friday evening amid the controversy surrounding the group cutting ties with their creative director for controversial comments made on social media.
In a shock announcement this week the band, which comprises of Conor O’Donohue, David Whelan, Ed Porter and Callum McAdam, parted ways with their creative director Ian Banham who was set to work with the musicians on their entry, We Are One, for the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool next month.
The bombshell move came weeks before the semi-finals take place on May 9, with singer Conor saying he felt "sick" reading Banham’s online views relating to trans people.
