Miley Cyrus has hit back at claims she is pregnant, slamming the speculation as “rude”.

The US singer, 25, sent Twitter into meltdown after she posted a picture of herself patting her stomach in a loose fitting T-shirt ahead of her birthday and Thanksgiving celebrations.

Cyrus joked that the bump was a “Vegan Turkey Baby”, but she was forced to clarify hours later after fans were left unconvinced by her ‘food baby’ claims and quickly speculated that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.

Others revisited her recent outfit choices claiming her “curious” dress on The Voice US results show earlier this week could have been concealing a bump.

So close to b-day time! Stoked for a day full of Tofurkey & loved ones! Ain't it ironic? #VeganTurkeyBaby

Cyrus posted the image for a second time in a bid to quash the speculation with the mock headline: “Miley Cyrus pregnant? Fans go wild after singer posts pic showing ‘bump’ ahead of Thanksgiving.”

Sharing the image on Twitter she wrote: “RUDE!!! Not pregnant just eating a s*** ton of tofurkey.”

Cyrus and Hemsworth have been dating since 2016 after reuniting three years after they split.

Cyrus opened up about their relationship during promotion for her single Malibu in May, telling Billboard they both needed to fall for each other all over again.

She said: “I needed to change so much, and changing with someone else not changing like that is too hard.

“Suddenly you’re like, ‘I don’t recognise you anymore’. We had to refall for each other.”

They recently sparked rumours that they had tied the knot after they were spotted wearing matching rings following a romantic trip to Tybee Island, the location where they first met while filming The Last Song.
