Ireland's Eurovision hopeful sparked outrage among fans, when they mistakenly thought she was performing for Vladimir Putin.

Brooke Scullion posted on Instagram about a "Special Eurovision Party" at the Kremlin this Friday with her Lithuanian counterparts calling out the move as disrespectful.

However, Brooke has since clarified she is not flying to Moscow and that the Kremlin is actually the name of a gay bar in Belfast.

The bar in question say they keep the name as a stance against Russia's stance on homosexuality.

Her Lithuanian counterpart, a group named The Roop apologised for their reaction.
