The singer blamed her 'unrealistic' schedule for keeping her away from the LA ceremony.

Singer Miley Cyrus has apologised to fans after failing to show up at the Teen Choice Awards due to her “unrealistic” schedule.

The Wrecking Ball star thanked the organisation for honouring her with its most prestigious accolade, the Ultimate Choice award, and said she was “beyond bummed” that she could not pick it up in person.

Cyrus already has 18 Teen Choice awards under her belt after more than 10 years working with the glamorous annual Los Angeles ceremony.

The no-show did not get in the way of a successful evening as stars enjoyed performances from Britons including Louis Tomlinson and Rita Ora.

Grammy award-winner Ed Sheeran picked up the Choice pop song prize for hit single Shape Of You while other winners included Ariana Grande, Fifth Harmony, Chris Pratt and Zendaya.
