Xpose's Peter O'Riordan reveals he'd never even HEARD of the show when he was offered hosting job

He’s the new anchor on Xpose but presenter Peter O’Riordan has revealed he has no idea what the show was when TV3 offered him the job.

The Cork man, who had been working as a showbiz reporter for TMZ in LA, was contacted by the head of programming in TV3 to work on Xpose.

But Peter admitted he had never watched a single episode of the showbiz show.

“I got an email they told me ‘this is the plan Xpose will be an hour long, it’s going to be live, we need someone’.

“I didn’t even know what Xpose was to be honest,” Peter admitted.

“After hours of Youtubing it then I thought it would actually be cool. Then I agreed to it in August.

“They told me to be back in September so we packed everything up and came here.”

Speaking to Brendan O’Connor on The Saturday Night Show Peter revealed he was enjoying his experience on the show with Glenda Gilson, Lisa Cannon, Karen Koster and Aisling O’Loughlin.

“They’re great to be honest. In all seriousness they have been absolutely unbelieveable everyone in TV3 has welcomed me with open arms it was daunting to come back.”

Meanwhile Peter revealed he would love to take Ryan Tubridy’s job and host his own version of The Late Late Show.

“I’ve always always wanted to take on an involved version of the Late Late Show, like a Graham Norton styled show,” he said.

And when Brendan asked if he thought the Late Late needed improving he replied:

“Well It’s not perfect.”
