She may have insulted him at the VMAs, but Ed Sheeran still thinks that Miley Cyrus is "fantastic".

Sheeran insists that he has no issues with the 21-year-old Wrecking Ball hitmaker, despite the fact that she was caught mouthing a swear word at him on camera at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (24.08.14).

Speaking about the recent incident, which was sparked when Sheeran failed to high-five Cyrus on the way to accept an award at the music event, Sheeran said: "Well, I don't know why people were expecting that [high-five]. I've never met her. There was a high-five between me and Scooter [Braun] because I know him, and that was the only high-five. I don't know what people were expecting.''

Sheeran further told radio host Ryan Seacrest that he has no bad feelings towards Cyrus, adding: ''I think she's a fantastic artist. I think she's got a great voice, writes great songs.''
