Eurovision 2024: Ireland's Bambie Thug forced to make last minute change - or face performance ban
Irish Eurovision hopeful Bambie Thug was forced to make a last minute change to their on stage makeup prior to taking to the stage lest they be banned from competing
One star who did manage to perform was Irish entry Bambie Thug, who quickly proved to be a firm fan favourite with viewers at home, however in a now deleted TikTok the singer had revealed how they almost didn’t make it to stage at all and was forced to remove some of their face makeup if she wanted to be permitted to compete. However, the clip soon revealed they were being told to remove the makeup from her face if they wanted to go ahead and perform, in order to comply with the EBU’s rules about refraining from making any political statement.
