Xposé is an Irish entertainment, fashion and beauty programme, broadcast weekday evenings on TV3, and 3e (TV3's sister channel). It originally ran for 30 minutes with advertising; starting from 8 September 2014 it is broadcast for 60 minutes with advertising. From September 5, 2016 the show returned to a 30-minute edition.
The show was first broadcast on 16 April 2007, at 6pm, with an initial budget of €600,000.TV3 News @ 6.30 was axed, in order to make room in the schedule for the show, with Hollyoaks moving to 6.30 before it was later axed and replaced with Friends. Lorraine Keane's entertainment update on TV3 News broadcasts was also removed.
The show's format is similar to that of American celebrity news and gossip programmes, such as E! News and Entertainment Tonight, covering events and celebrities in the entertainment industry. It is produced in-house by TV3 with a team of reporters conducting the interviews and attending various events. On rare occasions guests may appear in the studio. Xposé primarily focuses on celebrity life in Ireland and around the world. Reporters cover home events including top awards ceremonies, film premieres, rock and pop concerts, fashion shows and interviews with Irish and international stars.
Regular segments on the show included the "Daily Dish" (a look at the major celebrity news stories), make-up tips with Jemma Kidd and Fashion Police. Each episode finishes by playing a music video. Mobile phone company 3 Ireland have sponsored the show since it first went on air. On 27 April 2009, the first week following Lorraine Keane's departure from the show, it opened with a new graphical set using a greenscreen this provided a number of additional virtual screens behind the presenter in the studio, this replaced the physical set and screens between 2007 and 2009.
On September 8, 2014 Xposé was extended to one hour. The show received a new studio and graphics revamp and broadcasts from its new purposely built studio at the Sony HD Studios in Dublin. From September 5, 2016 the show will return to a 30-minute edition.
On December 16, 2016 TV3 announced a major revamp of their schedule. It was announced that Xposé would be shown three nights a week on TV3 and feature two nights a week on sister channel, 3e. This will come into effect from January 2017.
