SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

The 6-year-old breakout star of TLC's "Toddlers and Tiaras" is getting her own show.

The young pageant contestant Alana Thompson from McIntyre, Ga. -  better known as Honey Boo Boo - is now the star of her own reality series.

"Here comes Honey Boo Boo" follows the pint-sized Thompson and her family in Georgia. The girl's mother June Thompson said her daughter started out in beauty pageants at a young age.

"We decided to start at the local mall pageants. And then we kind of snowballed. We started natural pageants, and then to the glitz side. We prefer the glitz side more because she loves to be all glammed up," Thompson said.

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" premieres on WTOC at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
