Lorraine Keane (born 1972 or 1973) is an IFTA-nominated Irish broadcaster and journalist.
She is best known as the entertainment news correspondent for TV3 and presenter of the daily entertainment show Xpose.
Keane announced her departure from the show on 21 April 2009.
Lorraine joined the TV3 news team from her position as manager of AA Roadwatch, where she had worked for the previous seven years, broadcasting live on Radio 1 and 2FM every day. During that time Lorraine also presented various independent productions for RTÉ, including Live at 3, Start Me Up, Drive and RPM Motorsport. Lorraine has written columns for VIP magazine, Ireland on Sunday and the Star on Sunday newspapers. As an experienced master of ceremonies she is a regular host of high-profile events/awards ceremonies across the country. These have included introducing Charles, Prince of Wales on his first visit to Dublin and welcoming U.S. President Bill Clinton, during his term in office, at an Irish-American ceremony in New York.
Keane regularly features at prestigious awards ceremonies such as the annual IFTA, VIP Style Awards and the annual TV Now Awards. She has also been pursued by the magazine VIP on a number of occasions since its launch in 1999—indeed she is known as the first celebrity that the fledgling magazine featured. Michael O'Doherty, the owner of the VIP publishing group, has compared Keane to the famous television personality from the United Kingdom, Anthea Turner, who he said "was huge in those days".
Keane also attends other celebrity gatherings alongside television presenters from rival channels. She has been interviewed on chat shows such as The Late Late Show and Tubridy Tonight.
