HONEY Boo Boo wowed judges and the audience on Dancing With The Stars: Juniors' viewers last night as she performed a foxtrot to a Beauty And The Beast song.

The 13-year-old reality star, real name Alana Thompson, got her best score of the season with professional dancer Tristan Ianiero.

The pair danced to Something There from the hit Disney film and Alana's mentor - Artem Chigvintsev - was seen trying to teach the young star how to be more elegant and ladylike in the video trailer.

The show's judges were amazed by Alana's performance; praising her for "putting a smile on people's faces," and maintaining her composure throughout the routine.

Each judge gave Alana a seven out of 10 - the young teen's highest score yet.

Alana shot to fame at the age of six when she appeared on TLC reality show Toddlers and Tiaras - making a name for herself thanks to her down-to-earth, redneck attitude and hilarious one-liners.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian's goddaughter, Sophia Pippen, was eliminated from the competition during last night's show.

Kim had surprised the nine-year-old daughter of NBA legend Scott Pippen and his wife, Larsa, during rehearsals to offer some advice.

The reality star explained: "I came here today to encourage Sophia, I have known her since she was a baby."

Speaking to her goddaughter, Kim added: "You have to be confident, just let it go."

Sophia later admitted: "I feel a lot more confident knowing that Kim has my back."

However, it wasn't enough for the hopeful and she was eliminated after getting the lowest combined judge and audience score.

Earlier in the day, Sophia had taken to her Instagram account to wish Kim happy birthday.
