Malta's controversial Eurovision entry takes swipe at BBC after 'broadcaster demanded her song be changed over X-rated lyric'


The Maltese singer took a swipe at the broadcaster while appearing on BBC2's Newsnight as she sought to defend her entry titled Kant, which translates to 'singing' in the native language.

Ofcom rules state the word 'c**t' cannot be used on British television before 9pm, and BBC Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills also previously said he's not allowed to play the song due to its rude lyrics. The song, which is out now, is an upbeat pop track full of energy, excitement and drama and was co-written by Billen Ted (Tom Hollings and Sam Brennan), Thomas Stengaard and Julie 'Kill J' Aagaard. The girls look set to be onto a winning formula as BRIT Award nominees, Billen Ted, have worked with Little Mix, Anne Marie, MNEK and Armin van Buuren to name a few.
