Miley Cyrus has been spotted "kissing and cuddling" her former fiancé Liam Hemsworth.

The Wrecking Ball singer flew to Australia to ring in 2016 with the Hunger Games hunk and his family and was spotted backstage at the Falls Music Festival at Byron Bay with them over the weekend.

According to Australia's Daily Telegraph, Miley, 21, and 25-year-old Liam "were very affectionate, although they had security with them to ensure fans did not catch any snaps of them together".

They partied with Liam's brothers Chris and Luke and their respective wives, Elsa Pataky and Samantha Hemsworth at the music festival.

Elsa later posted a snap on Instagram featuring Miley, with the caption: "I love people I can be crazy with."

The three couples spent time in the backstage VIP area before making their way out into the crowd to watch Disclosure perform.

Miley and Liam have stayed close since their split in 2013 and Liam recently admitted he will always love his ex.

He said: "You fall in love with who you fall in love with. You can never choose. I guess some people just come with a little more baggage. I mean, look - we were together five years. I don't think those feelings will ever change. And that's good because that proves to me that it was real. It wasn't just a fling. It really was an important part of my life and always will be."
