Honey Boo Boo's parents, Mama June and Sugar Bear, return to reality TV

"Mama" June Shannon and Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson, who rose to fame as part of TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," are returning to reality television.

The pair -- who are the parents of Alana Thompson, the namesake of TLC's show -- are part of the Season 4 cast of "Marriage Boot Camp" on WE tv. The show premieres Dec. 4 at 9 p.m.

"Marriage Boot Camp" "places five couples together under one roof to undergo intense counseling and exercises which test the boundaries of their relationships," according to a news release. "Boot Camp Directors Jim and Elizabeth Carroll push the couples to their limits, both physically and emotionally, in order to save their troubled unions."

TLC pulled the plug on "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" last year after allegations that Shannon was dating a convicted child molester (which she has denied).

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was filmed at the family's home in McIntyre, located in Wilkinson County. The family has since moved to metro Atlanta while Thompson reportedly still resides in Middle Georgia.
