When it comes to shocking her fans, there are few things Miley Cyrus hasn’t tried.
But the shock-pop princess took things to a whole new level on Sunday night when she lit up a suspicious-looking cigarette ONSTAGE at the EMA awards at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome.
As she picked up the award for Best Video for her track Wrecking Ball, Miley grinned as she attempted to shove the award into her bag, before pulling out what appeared to be a joint and telling the audience: ‘I can’t fit it in my bag… but I did find this!’
Lighting up: Miley smoked a suspicious looking cigarette on stage
However, the act was deemed so controversial by MTV bosses that it was edited out of the show when it was aired in America.
Instead, the two-and-a-half-four show featured only a brief shot of Miley accepting her award and thanking her fans.
But a 35-second clip of Miley lighting up later appeared on YouTube, giving US fans a chance to see the controversial moment.
In the UK, the smoking footage will be cut from pre-watershed airings of the show, but will be kept in for all broadcasts after 9pm.
Facing the cut: But the scenes were edited out by MTV when the show aired in the US
‘I just found out!’ Miley told the audience that she had just happened to find the ‘joint’ in her bag
Marijuana is not legal in the Netherlands, but smokers can’t be prosecuted for possessing small amounts and it is sold openly in cafes known euphemistically as ‘coffee shops’.
Miley’s decision to light up on stage did little to impress many of her fans, with people taking to Twitter to comment on the act.
One wrote: ‘Seriously wtf is wrong with miley cyrus?! Why would you smoke a joint at the ema awards?!’
Splitting opinion: Miley’s act didn’t go down too well on Twitter, with the majority of people lambasting her for the decision to light up on stage
Ever controversial: Clutching her awards and with the cigarette still in her mouth, Miley made her way off the stage
While another added: ‘Haha Miley Cyrus is now smoking weed on live TV. What next?’
Even This Morning host Eamonn Holmes put in his two cents, writing on Twitter: ‘Miley Cyrus raises eyebrows again . At MTV awards she appears to smoke a joint .Tries a bit too hard to be controversial …’
It wasn’t only Miley’s cigarette choice that caused controversy at the awards, however.
Arriving at the red carpet bash, Miley shunned a fancy gown in favour of a backless halter top with drawstring detail at the front and sides, with very little protecting her modesty as the audience looked on.
More daring than ever: Miley wore a plunging halterneck top as a dress as she posed ahead of the awards
Put your tongue back in! Miley couldn’t resist sticking her tongue out as she posed up for photographers in the backless dress with the words ‘Please Stop’ across the rear
The star’s top was emblazoned with the images of rappers Tupac and Biggie Smalls, with the word ‘VIOLENCE’ running along its hem and the rather telling comment, ‘Please Stop’ adorning her rear.
Miley opened the ceremony with a space-themed performance of her smash hit, We Can’t Stop, while dressed as an astronaut in a skintight silver spacesuit.
The former child star poked her tongue out as she danced alongside a latex-clad female little person, before groping her dancer’s breasts and rubbing her face into her chest.
Miley later changed into an eye-wateringly tight and revealing white bodysuit for a more stripped-back performance of her hit track Wrecking Ball.
The 2013 MTV EMA ceremony is repeated on Monday 11 November at 6.30pm on MTV
Where’s Robin Thicke? Miley’s former twerking partner was replaced by a latex-wearing female dwarf
