Miley Cyrus has added a piglet to her family of animals.

The singer is a keen dog lover, but it seems she has now branched out into pigs.

The US star took to Instagram to post a series of photos of herself with cute piglet Bubba Sue.

The pair can be seen cuddling, whilst one photo seemingly shows Bubba sleeping on Cyrus on a plane.

She later added a photo of herself with the pig and also a dog, adding:

"Happiest mommy ever."

Cyrus meanwhile was left distraught earlier this year when her beloved pooch Floyd died.

She ultimately cancelled some European tour dates as she grieved for her pet.
