IT’S been five years since six-year-old Honey Boo Boo first appeared on US show Toddlers & Tiaras.
But where is the young beauty pageant enthusiast now?
In 2012, Alana Thompson first won everyone’s hearts in the TLC reality show, which shed light on the lives of kids that enter pageants.
One of the most iconic scenes showed Alana drinking “go-go juice” before a competition.
The concoction, made up of Mountain Dew and Red Bull, was given to the six-year-old by her mum June to get her competition ready.
Alana’s sassy personality went down such a treat with viewers that she then went on to star in her own program, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
In the spin off, a camera crew filmed what Alana and her family get up to outside the world of beauty pageants.
In 2014, after four series’ and 26 episodes, the show was axed by TLC.
