I’VE had some weird and wonderful gifts sent to me throughout my career – but nothing as kooky as one Miley Cyrus received from her godmother, veteran country music legend Dolly Parton.

Wrecking Ball singer Miley said: “Last Christmas she gave me a whole mannequin, done in her proportions and wearing her outfit.

“It’s so major.”

And she added: “Dolly’s been like a mother to me. Actually, I was just reading this fax she sent me.

“No one else faxes. I have to access my lawyer’s office because the lawyer is the only person who can still receive a fax.

“Dolly wrote to me to say, ‘How much do I love you? As much as my heart can hold and as far as my arms can reach’. It gets me choked up. I just love her so much.”

And it seems that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, either.

While Dolly wears fluffy heels instead of slippers at home, Miley says she likes to wear platforms when hitting the gym.

She added: “The gym looks really tough, but then I’ve got my ivory Gucci slingbacks because they remind me of Marilyn Monroe.

“I train in heels mostly. I’m interested in feminising the workout space, because so much of the workout equipment is ugly.”

It’s a struggle to get me to go to the gym in trainers so there’s not a chance you’ll see me on the treadmill in heels.

But all power to you, Miley.
