Running star Ciaran Mageean was praised as a 'role model' after appearing on the Late Late Show on Friday night.
The Portaferry woman has catapulted herself back onto the world stage this summer after winning silver at the European Championships and Commonwealth Games before breaking four-minute barrier and Sonia O'Sullivan's long-standing 1500m national record.
Mageean's run of 3:56.63 in Brussels was enough to see her beat her great rival and friend Laura Muir and capture her first ever Diamond League title.
