"Controversial US reality series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will air in the UK on new entertainment channel TLC. Discovery Networks International will launch TLC in the UK and Ireland on Tuesday, April 30, and Honey Boo Boo will be among the exclusive content premiering on the channel. Watch a Honey Boo Boo trailer below:      Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was a hit in the US, but was attacked by some critics, who accused the show of exploiting its central star, 7-year-old beauty pageant contestant Alana &amp;#039;Honey Boo Boo&amp;#039; Thompson. One critic described the show as a &amp;quot;horror story posing as a reality television program&amp;quot;. TLC&amp;#039;s other content will include US ratings hit Breaking Amish, which follows the lives of five young Amish/Mennonite men and women who move to New York, and Oprah Winfrey&amp;#039;s Oprah&amp;#039;s Next Chapter. UK commissions include fashion series Ultimate Shopper, which will feature Holly Valance, Brix Smith Start and Paul Hartnett as judges, Lisa Snowdon makeover show Your Style in His Hands and Dawn O&amp;#039;Porter&amp;#039;s documentary Undercover Mums. The producers of Embarrassing Bodies will also be launching two new shows on the channel, My Naked Secret and Last Chance Salon. &amp;quot;TLC is a unique entertainment channel that brings together a huge range of characters from the UK and US. It is full of stories that will get people talking and we hope it will become part of the rich and varied TV culture in the UK,&amp;quot; said Discovery Networks UK SVP and General Manager Susanna Dinnage.
