Actress Miley Cyrus has described her ideal boyfriend during an interview on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.

The Hannah Montana star told KIIS-FM, her dream partner would be a "16-year-old Chris Martin".

When asked what her mother thought about her romances, she commented: "She doesn't like my taste in guys. She says I have terrible taste."

Cyrus revealed earlier this month that she was looking for a boyfriend, but denied reports she was dating her co-star Lucas Till.
