By Daniel RosneyEurovision reporter
Ireland's Eurovision act Wild Youth have cut ties with their creative director over comments made on Social Media relating to Transgender People .
Screen grabs circulated on Twitter of Ian Banham's account referring to transgender women as men in posts.
The Irish band say they stand for " unity and kindness" and will no longer let Mr Banham " near our team".
Mr Banham's representatives have been contacted by The Bbc , but they had No Comment to make.
With just Two Weeks until this year's song contest begins, it is quite late for any artist to change their creative team as rehearsals begin in Liverpool next week.
Wild Youth frontman Conor O'Donohoe said he " felt sick" reading The Tweets and apologised to those hurt by those remarks.
