With Aisling O'Loughlin off on maternity leave again the Xpose girls launched a campaign to find themselves a new co-host just a few weeks ago, and now it seems as though they've finally got their woman.

The rumour mill hasn't stopped spinning for weeks with the likes of Leanne Moore, Siobhan O'Connor, Nadia Forde and Daniella Moyles all tipped to make the final the cut. However, it was Phantom 105.2 maven Michelle Doherty who secured the much sought after spot. We're not going to lie, we didn't see that one coming.

Hailing from County Donegal, IFTA nominated Michelle has previously hosted popular music television shows such as When Under Ether on RTE 2 and Night Shift on Channel 6. Her passion for music and presenting led to her presenting work for Arthur's Day, Finest Work Songs on Phantom FM and more recently, the weekday breakfast show, Pure Morning on Phantom FM.

Since then she's headed down the action route, recently playing the part of ‘Liv’ in Lenny Abrahamson’s critically acclaimed, award winning film What Richard Did and  filming independent Irish film The Hit Producer where she played the lead role, ‘Katelin Ballantine’. Who knew she hadn't given up on the media world after all?

Catch Michelle on screen with Karen Koster, Glenda Gilson and Lisa Cannon from this Monday 25th November.
