Marc Giró i Costa (born 18 September 1974) is a Spanish TV presenter and journalist. Having come to fame as a fashion journalist, he is most well-known for his chat show on La 1, Late Xou.
Biography
Giró graduated with a degree in History of Art from the University of Barcelona. For seventeen years, he worked as the fashion editor at Marie Claire magazine. During this time he became a regular collaborator on TV3 programmes such as Está passant and Divendres. Throughout the 2010s, he was a collaborator on shows such as Espejo Público on Antena 3 and on Zapeando and En el aire with Andreu Buenafuente, both on LaSexta.[1][2]
Since 2019, Giró has hosted Vostè primer on Catalan radio network RAC 1.[3] He has also become a regular broadcaster on the station, collaborating on shows such as No són hores and Vacances pagades i ADN, both presented by his husband Santi Villas; on El món a RAC1 with Jordi Basté and on Versió RAC1 with Toni Clapés. He has also appeared on Catalunya Ràdio programmes. Giró hosted the New Year bells on RAC 1 welcoming 2021 with a live broadcast from the Casa Vicens, as well as the annual parody of the broadcast on Neox, Felix Año Neox, with Paca la Piraña.[4]
On 5 January 2023, he premiered a late-night chat show on Sunday nights on La 1 in Catalonia, called Late Xou amb Marc Giró. The show was picked up later that year by La 2, moving to Monday nights at 11pm.[5] After achieving strong ratings on La 2, in 2025 the show swapped to La 1 nationwide, going out on Tuesdays at 11pm after La revuelta.[6]
Giró swapped to Atresmedia in January 2026 to host a similar show to Late Xou on LaSexta.[7] To premiere the show, called Cara al show, he appeared on El Hormiguero in March, criticising host Pablo Motos for what he belived to be his politically-biased treatment of guests.[8][9]
Personal life
Giró lives with his partner, Santi Villas, in Madrid. The pair met while working on Jordi González's show on TV3, Les mil i una, in 1997.[2][10]
