Entertainment and fashion programme Xposé has been cancelled after more than 12 years on the air as part of a schedule re-vamp on Virgin Media.
The show, which is currently hosted by Cassie Stokes, Glenda Gilson and Karen Koster, will bow out on October 4 with an hour-long special episode.
Xposé was originally broadcast in 2007 on TV3 and was carried over after the station’s takeover by Virgin Media.
It began as a daily programme, which was scaled back to three days a week in January. The show was reduced to one night a week in March of this year.

DUP leader Arlene Foster and deputy leader Nigel Doods
This afternoon.
The Deputy Leader of the DUP has said the Supreme Court ruling must be respected and accepted it is possible the UK may not leave the EU on 31 October.
Nigel Dodds told RTÉ News be believes the court ruling, and what he called “the shenanigans” in the House of Commons had weakened Boris Johnson’s hand in negotiations.
Asked for his party’s response to the unanimous court ruling, he said: “The Supreme Court has spoken, the judgment must be respected.”
