TV3 have revealed they won’t be hosting a replacement for Karen Koster on Xpose while she is on maternity leave.
The Xpose presenter went off to have her baby last week – and expects to be away for six months.
However despite the showbiz show now being an hour long, TV3 have said they have no plans to bring in a new face to the series.

Previously, Michelle Doherty stood in for Aisling O’Loughlin while she went on maternity leave.
Instead, TV3 said they will simply be boosting the numbers behind the camera.
Recently Karen, 35, told the Herald she was glad to be on maternity leave as she has so much to buy for the new arrival.
“I need to get a Moses basket because my dog chewed the one that has been passed down to me by the McGuires.

“So I have to get something for the child to sleep in and nappies – I have loads to do.
“I do not even have my hospital bag packed. As for a birth plan, I’ll be doing whatever the doctor says.
“I haven’t even thought about a going-home outfit, so I’m going to have to get that as well.”
