Honey Boo Boo aka Alana Thompson is famous for her role on the TLC reality show, ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo‘ that aired from 2012 – 2014.
Now, at age 13, she is taking on a brand new role in ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors.”
Partnering with junior pro dancer, Tristan Ianiero, she sat down with the team mentor, Artem Chigvintsev for an exclusive interview.

DANCING WITH THE STARS: JUNIORS – “The Premiere” – The youngest cast ever assembled are sparkling up their wardrobe, breaking in their dancing shoes and readying themselves for what will be an unforgettable journey, on the special two-hour premiere of “Dancing with the Stars: Juniors,” SUNDAY, OCT. 7 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network.

ALANA THOMPSON, TRISTAN IANIERO
“What are you guys the most nervous about?” asks Chigvintsev.
Alana said, “Performing our routines, because what if I mess up?” “That’s not good,” she said.
“I’m super nervous about that and I’m super nervous to go on the stage.”
However, she quickly interjected her own statement with some a self pep talk.
“But you know what? I got this. I’m going to go on stage, do this and win,” Thompson says with a bit of sass.
