Ireland AM stars Karen Koster and Ciara Doherty have shared their delight, as Glenda Gilson officially joins the team.

The presenter, who was on maternity leave when Xposé was axed last month, returned to Virgin Media with a new gig earlier this week.

Going forward, Glenda will be covering all things entertainment and showbiz on the breakfast show, and former Xposé colleague Karen, is particularly thrilled to have her on board.

Taking to social media, she beamed, “Delighted Glenda is going to be on Ireland AM!”

Ciara, who shared a picture of the pair together on set, added, “Welcome to Ireland AM, Glenda. What an entrance!”

Before this role, Glenda had worked on Xposé for just over a decade.

Speaking to VIP Magazine at the time of its demise, she said, “Obviously I’m very sad to see Xpose go. I think to see the brand go is the thing that’s killing me because we worked hard to get it to where it was.

“We had some hard days, some great days. When it started it was a tough time, especially when everyone told us it wouldn’t succeed because there weren’t enough celebrities in Ireland to do a show like we did. We did live shows, we did hour long shows, we did everything.”

Glenda continued, “I loved every minute of it. And it was our blood, sweat and tears, all of us; Karen, Lisa, Aisling, Sybil and myself, and the background team that were there from the beginning and then everyone who joined throughout the years.

“We all loved it and had such passion for the show. You just don’t know what the future will bring, but of course I’m sad because it’s the end of an era.”

We wish Glenda the best of luck with her new gig!
