Dolly Parton, also known as “Aunt Dolly” to Hannah Montana fans, has revealed she shares ancestry with Miley Cyrus. The singers have a common relative born in the 18th century, making Parton the relative’s sixth great granddaughter and Cyrus the seventh great granddaughter.

Any fan of Dolly Parton knows by now that the country music favourite is uber-close to her goddaughter Miley Cyrus. Apparently, however, the duo's relationship goes back a lot further than Christening traditions, and the '9-5' singer herself had a pretty iconic reaction to the recent discovery that they're actually related by blood.
