Will Honey Boo Boo be more famous than Kim Kardashian?

Honey Boo Boo is only seven-years-old, but the child star is quickly becoming one of the most famous reality TV stars; should Kim Kardashian watch her back?

She first found fame thanks to Toddlers & Tiaras (which airs on digital channel DMAX here in the UK), and is now ramping up the ratings in America's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

Honey Boo Boo, whose real name is Alana Thompson, was photographed on the set of US TV show Extra with her mum June Shannon. As usual, she was basking in the limelight.

At one point, she was even snapped sitting in a throne - something a good deal of seven-year-old girls would love to do!

With two successful reality TV shows under her belt, fans are eagerly waiting to see what the American child's next move will be. If she keeps going at this rate, she'll could rival reality TV queen Kim Kardashian for popularity.

As if starring on Toddlers & Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo wasn't enough to secure her firmly on the TV radar, she was even recently spoofed in cult animated series South Park!

If people get bored of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, they could always hang out with Honey Boo Boo instead!
