Earlier this week Sia sparked controversy when she released a video for track Elastic Heart, which featured Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf and 12-year-old Maggie Ziegler.

In the video the actor and 12-year-old, who are both wearing n**e dirt-smeared leotards, wrestle each other, and it quickly faced a lot of angry criticism with people describing it as disturbing and "unacceptable".

One upset fan said the video "Smacks of child molestation #pervert #unacceptable #childabuse...Explain please!"

And: "Sia's 'Elastic Heart' video is disgusting."

Sia later wrote on her website: All I can say is Maddie and Shia are two of the only actors I felt could pay these two warring Sia states.

I apologise to those who feel triggered by Elastic Heart, my intention was to create some emotional content, not to upset anybody.

But who is Maddie Ziegler and how did she come to be a part of the singers latest video?

Maddie is a professional dancer, model and actress who is best know for reality series Dance Moms, which follows the early careers of children in show business, as well as the role their mums play.
