She famously whipped off her clothes to sit atop a wrecking ball for her hit single of the same name in 2013. 

But feisty Miley Cyrus, 24, has now admitted she's embarrassed by the Terry Richardson produced video she made and says she's "never going to live it down", according to the Daily Mail.

In an interview which aired on the Zach Sang Show, she was asked to play a game of Marry, Eff, Kill and she said she would kill Wrecking Ball. 

She said: "That's something you can't take away - swinging around naked on a wrecking ball lives forever. Once you do that ... it's forever.

"I'm never living that down. I will always be the naked girl on a wrecking ball.

"I just licked the sledgehammer. I should have thought how long that was going to follow me around. That's my worst nightmare - that being played at my funeral."

Miley wore nothing but a pair of Doctor Marten boots for the video, which debuted on the US Billboard charts at number 50. It later became her first number one hit there. 

When it was released, the video got a staggering, 12.3million views in just 24 hours on Vevo to become the most viewed record.

Miley overtook One Direction, who previously held the record with their 10.9million views for Best Song Ever, to take the record. 

Shortly after Miley tweeted her excitement at breaking the record once again.

In the video, a nude Miley straddles a swinging wrecking ball, licks a sledgehammer and smashes up a few walls for good measure.

The video came after Miley's now infamous VMA performance, which saw her parade around in a bra and knickers, whilst twerking (again) and performing some other obscure movements with a foam finger.

In an interview with MTV, the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus compared herself to Madonna and Britney Spears, who also made headlines when they locked lips during a passionate on air kiss 10 years ago at the 2003 VMAs.
