Irish singer CMAT made her debut on American television when she performed her hit single Take A Sexy Picture Of Me on the US talkshow Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The star, real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, was the musical guest on Tuesday night's episode of the popular show which is hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel.
