Mama June’s ex Mike ‘Sugar Bear’ Thompson is getting married to his new love Jennifer Lamb and Honey Boo Boo has been chosen to be in the bridal party.

The wedding has spurred the reality TV matriarch to shed weight.

‘I’m trying to lose weight for Sugar Bear’s wedding because my ex is getting married. I’m trying to rebrand myself as like the skinnier Mama June,’ she admits in a preview for Friday’s episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot.

She underwent gastric sleeve and skin removal surgeries along with a diet and exercise overhaul. 

She tipped the scales at 460 pounds and managed to fit into a size 12 dress. Her goal is a size 4. 

‘The girls want me to try on a wedding dress because I haven’t been in a dress since I started losing weight,’ Mama June said in a preview. 

‘But I’m kind of apprehensive, I mean we’re supposed to be here for Alana not me.’ 

‘I mean I’m not getting married any time soon, but I’m kind of curious how I’m gonna look in the wedding dress,’ she admits.

After slipping into the dress, she proudly said: ‘I may not wanna be getting married, but I look mighty hot in a wedding dress.’

Mama June’s daughter Honey Boo Boo previously revealed her mother has been covering up in bulky outfits in public to keep her transformation hidden from public view until it airs on TV.

There’s even been speculation that she was wearing a fat suit while filming some scenes of her reality show in order to disguise the full extent of her slim down until the big ‘reveal’.

In the first two episodes of the WE tv show June vowed to get a revenge body in time for ex Sugar Bear’s wedding.

Before going under the knife, the mother-of-four declared Sugar Bear is ‘gonna be so jealous’ after seeing the results from her life-altering surgery.

In last week’s show June was seen recovering from the procedure and eventually meeting her drill sergeant-style personal trainer to help achieve her weight loss goals.

Mama June: From Not to Hot airs Fridays on WE tv.
