‘So beautiful’ gush fans as Karen Koster reflects on ‘fabulous’ life chapter and shares major throwback snaps
The Dublin beauty left The Six O’Clock Show after to and a half years in November 2023.



Karen’s co-host Greg O’Shea also exited the show at the same time.
The mum-of-three made the difficult decision so she could spend more time with her family.
The Six O’Clock Show first launched on February 16, 2015, under the name The Seven O’Clock Show after Virgin Media axed Late Lunch Live.
In 2015, the show was helmed by a rotation of hosts, but primarily Martin King, Lucy Kennedy, Simon Delaney and Muireann O’Connell.
The station celebrated the hit programme’s 10th anniversary on Monday.
Karen took to Instagram to reflect on her time hosting.
She posted gorgeous throwback snaps of herself with Greg and Martin.
The 43-year-old captioned her post: “Happy 10th birthday @sixoclockshow! What a fabulous decade! Delighted I got to be in a chapter of it with @martinkingpresenter @gregoshea.
“Congrats team! Loved tonight’s anniversary show!“
Karen’s friends and fans all loved her sweet tribute post and raced to the comment section with compliments.
Greg wrote: “Miss hanging out with you every day.”
Fionnuala said: “Skincare routine NOW you look the same age in every photo!!!!!!”
Another fan commented: “So beautiful.”
Marcella added: “My favourite presenters of ALL time @karenkostertv @gregoshea. Each show was just hilarious, great on screen couple. Please come back together or at least do High Road, Low Road.”
CELEBRATION TIME
Brian Dowling, who is the current host of The Six O’Clock Show alongside Katja Mia, also shared a dedicated Instagram post yesterday.
The dad-of-two shared adorable snaps from his time at the show, the first being a picture of him and Katja enjoying the cake made for the show’s anniversary.
In another photo, the pair looked as happy as ever while they giggled and embraced each other for a quick snap on the show’s set.
One throwback saw a moment where Brian and Katja got their faces covered in cupcake icing gone wrong.
Brian captioned his sweet throwback: “The Six O’Clock Show, a big happy 10th birthday! Katja Mia and I have only been at the helm since 2023, and we are absolutely loving every single minute of it!!!
“We honestly work with the best team around, captained by the fabulous @tvbrian. To all the amazing hosts who have gone before, thank you!!!”
