Ireland's Eurovision entry Wild Youth to dazzle stage with pyrotechnics and gold catsuit
Conor O’Donohoe is set to take to the Eurovision stage dressed in a gold catsuit with flares - as Wild Youth prepare to make their bid for Eurovision glory later this month.
The staging comes just a week after Wild Youth sacked their creative director Ian Banham over his comments on Ukraine winning the Eurovision Song Contest and transphobia. He said: "I don't want to dwell on it too much but there's a series of tweets that were brought to our attention that kinda went against a lot of stuff that we believe in as a band.Conor admitted the involvement of JK Rowling in the debate added another element of stress before they are due to perform on stage in Liverpool at the first semi-final on May 9.
