Songstress Miley Cyrus has opened up about her pet pig, named Pig-Pig, that was given to her backstage as a gift and revealed that he has grown to be quite large and a little overwhelming. 

During her new interview with Jimmy Kimmel this week, Cyrus admitted that the swine is a little intimidating: "I've taken out all the furniture pretty much because she eats everything. Her favourite food is ankles..."

"It's huge... My dogs are getting a little terrified of this pig. I'm also getting a little scared of the pig because the other day she started to attack me... I was running around my living room, screaming, like, 'Why don't you love me Pig? I just love you so much, I just wanna pet you'. Then I realised I was holding a peach and as soon as I dropped the peach out of fear, she was fine. She just wanted my peach."

She went onto add that Pig-Pig is demanding, but harmless as long as you have something around to feed him with: "As long as you feed her you can play with her all day long, but when the food runs out, you become the food. It's terrifying."
