Honey Boo Boo became a reality TV sensation when she stole the show on Toddlers & Tiaras - but her life has been full of controversy. Real name Alana Thompson, the child star was just five-years-old when she first burst onto out screens alongside her wild family in 2011.
Alana began competing in beauty pageants at a young age and was supported by mother June Shannon, better known as 'Mama June'. The pair were so well received bu audiences that they received their own spin-off show on TLC called Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. However, the series was cancelled in 2014 after two years - leading to a downward spiral for the family.
