Honey Boo Boo ‘in talks for her own weight-loss reality show’ after Mama June lost 21 stone during body transformation
Could little Alana about to go on a health overhaul like her mum?
HONEY Boo Boo is reportedly considering her own weight loss show following the success of her mother, Mama June’s reality show.
The 11-year-old whose real name is Alana Thompson and her sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon are being pursued for their own reality show based on a similar theme to Mama June: From Hot to Not.
A source told OK! magazine: "The girls are up for it, because the show will be all about them, and they'll have their own big paydays.”
However it may be tough getting Honey Boo Boo to stray from her usual diet, as she recently said: “"I'm not jumping on any bandwagon, unless it has cheeseburgers and stuff."
Mama June’s dramatic transformation was covered on TV show From Not to Hot, which showed her try to get a “revenge body” in the run up to her ex Sugar Bear’s wedding.

At her heaviest, she weighted a staggering 33 stone.
She told cameras: “It makes me feel really good to show other people this is what I’ve always thought of myself and that my inside hadn’t changed, like my giving and outgoing and loving personality that was there when I was there.
“It’s just a little bit more out there.”
During the course of the show, Mama June Shannon has been aided by a personal trainer and her manager on her mission to get slimmer.
Her daughters Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon also supported her throughout her efforts - although were left worrying after surgery to remove excess skin lasted FIVE HOURS.
It came as a bittersweet moment for the reality star, and she admitted: “I’m ready to get the surgery over with and remove my turkey neck, but I’m kind of going to miss my turkey neck – it’s more famous than I am!”
In another episode, the star was left reeling in pain following another fat removal surgery and she hid herself away in her room and refused to leave her bed as she decided to give up on her goal after the surgery left her feeling "like Frankenstein".
