Rumors were sparked by a New York Daily News report that suggested an ABC network insider had told them June Shannon, aka Mama June on TLC's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," was being lined up as a contestant for the upcoming series.
The ABC hit show brings together a host of famous celebrities and TV personalities to take part in a dance competition with a dancer voted out each week.
However, despite Mama June being connected to the show in the recent rumors, a rep for TLC has reportedly told the Huffington Post that those there are no truth to those rumors, and that June Shannon would not be appearing on the dance show.
That has thrown cold water on the hot rumors surrounding Honey Boo Boo's mom, and it is unsure whether there is any truth to the rumors surrounding other celebrities named in the New York Daily News report.
According to the NY Daily News, alongside June Shannon, other TV personalities were also being lined up including Kourtney Kardashian and Emily Maynard, as well as other stars including Victor Ortiz.
