Charli XCX's unearthed Lip Sync Battle is branded 'a virtual declaration of war' and 'a hate crime' - after star 'sang' track by Irish band B*Witched alongside Union Flag-clad dancers
Charli XCX's appearance on Lip Sync Battle has sparked ire among Irish social media users, six years after the performance hit screens.
The British star, 31, fought against Rita Ora on the US show in 2018, where she took to the stage to mouth along to B*Witched's 1998 hit C'est La Vie in front of a slew of backing dancers clad in Union Flag dresses. Twitter was flooded by angered viewers, including funnyman Dara Ó Briain, who deemed the gaffe a 'a virtual declaration of war' and 'a hate crime' - with a slew of references to 1998's Good Friday Agreement. Tensions gave way to violence in the late 1960s, as armed groups from both sides, such as the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Ulster Defence Association (UDA), carried out bombings and shootings - and British troops were sent to Northern Ireland.
