Miley Cyrus details doctor's 'disgusted' reaction to cause of injury that put her in the ICU

Miley Cyrus revealed she ended up in hospital with an infection that stunned doctors last year.

Pop singer Miley Cyrus spoke on Jimmy Kimmel’s show on May 22 to promote her latest project and gave away some rather interesting details.

The project, is her film/album called Something Beautiful and the star spoke about the experience filming it on the Walk of Fame.

While you might think this would make for a rather glamorous affair, Cyrus explained that wasn’t exactly the case...

In fact, Cyrus revealed she ended up in hospital for her efforts, and the doctors were disgusted with how she ended up there in the first place.

Cyrus said: “I filmed this video in October and by November at Thanksgiving I was put in ICU for a moment, just for a moment.

“But it was mostly because it was Thanksgiving, there was a lot of people in the ER, people choking on turkey legs or whatever.

“My leg began to disintegrate within some way around the kneecap area. The doctor goes ‘do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap and I just saw myself and I had to tell them."

Cyrus then began to sway, writhe and dance in her chair imitating how she moves in the music video.

She also joked about the way the doctor responded to finding out what she had been doing.

She continued: “To have a surgeon look at you and say ‘yuck’... like they open up cadavers, they see inside the guts of humans and they are looking at me telling me that I am disgusting. They do brain operations."

Cyrus also noted that they did not steam wash or clean the floor ahead of the shoot, so the celeb really was getting up close and personal with the Walk of Fame floor.

She joked that she simply didn’t have the budget to rent out the area, instead opting to shoot in the middle of the night.

A move she might now regret as she said she felt it was going to be her last day...

She added: “I wanted this video to be so fabulous but now I've just told everyone such a filthy...”

Kimmel interrupted Cyrus to praise her for her ‘sacrifice’ and the pair joked that she almost gave her life for the video so they better go see it.

Something Beautiful is set to be released May 30 and the theatrical release is expected to be June 12.
