Miley Cyrus has once again affirmed her belief that she is “one of the biggest feminists in the world”.

She spoke in an interview with BBC Newsbeat and stated that she believes that she encourages women not to be afraid of anything.

She said: "I feel like I'm one of the biggest feminists in the world because I tell women to not be scared of anything.

"I don't actually walk around all day twerking with my tongue out dressed as a teddy bear.

"I never worry about what I do on stage making me look bad.

"I think people if they actually knew me would be surprised at how normal I am.

"I'm definitely crazy but I'm normal. I feel like [I am] socially probably more acceptable than a lot of people in this industry because I've just always grown up around this and so I never have any kind of attitude."

Miley will be performing on this week’s X Factor results show.
