She's never one to shy away from controversy and Miley Cyrus lives up to her reputation in her upcoming interview with Chris Bath on Sunday Night. 

The acclaimed Australian journalist sat down with the 21-year-old for a one-on-one for the Channel Seven current affairs program, and the Wrecking Ball singer doesn't hold anything back.

Talking about her famous shift from child star to raunchy celebrity, Cyrus calls out Hollywood's 'double standard' when it comes to her famous dance move.

'Elvis, he wasn't wearing the outfits I was wearing but he was coming out and he was doing like the OG twerking,' she tells Bath. 

The interview is set to air on Channel Seven on Sunday at 8.45pm. 

'Like, no one wants to admit that he was twerking, he was.

'He was like sex. He was a symbol of sex but no one would have ever called Elvis a sl** because he wasn't a girl.
