There goes Honey Boo Boo! Alana Thompson slips over on the ice at skating rink

She loves being on stage in beauty pageants, but Alana Thompson isn't quite so at ease on the ice.
The seven-year-old, who is the title star of TLC show Here Comes Honey Boo, stumbled around while visiting a rink with friends in Conyers, Georgia.

The young reality star proved to be rather wobbly on her rented turquoise-blue skates and at one point she fell over on the hard ice.
Luckily for her, she had plenty of friends on hand to help her back up again.
'Mama' June and 'Sugar Bear' were said to be watching her from the sidelines.

Alana - who initially shot to fame after appearing on TLC's Toddlers & Tiaras - later practised skills by balancing on a gliding metal frame.
Of course, it has been a rather eventful 12 months for the school girl, who capped of the year with a nod from Barbara Waters. 
The veteran TV journalist named her one of the most fascinating people of the year.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, teen pop group One Direction and the scandal-prone Prince Harry also made the list.
Justifying the controversial decision to include Alana on the list, Barbara said last month: 'A lot of people will say, "For heaven's sake, this is ridiculous, this is a child at 5 or 6 years old entering beauty contests."
'But the relationship between Alana and her mother -- that's the story, the two of them. It's very touching.'
Of course, not everyone agrees. The Voice judge Adam Levine famously described the show as 'the decay of Western civilisation'.
