Jameela Jamil has revealed that she has received “terrifying” death threats and abuse from fans of Miley Cyrus.

The DJ who presents Radio 1’s Sunday chart show was discussing the US singer’s image and her over all image and has since revealed that fans of Cyrus seem to have taken offence to her comments.

"I have had quite a lot of those death threats, really scary, sexual threats," she said.

"All because I might have touched on Miley Cyrus and her overt use of her sexuality and vagina to give her more of a platform in the media.

"I debated whether it was the right way to go necessarily for the progression of women and it was just terrifying, the onslaught that you receive."

In the interview which was carried out by The Guardian, Jamil also encouraged women to be more supportive of each other.

"You see women tearing down other women, women publishing unflattering photographs of other women, chastising other women.

"The media which criticises young people are the same media who are guilty of turning us against each other."
