In it together: Pumpkin, 15, says she is 'thankful' to have her mother's support

Pumpkin, real name Lauryn, told Inside Edition she is pleased to have a supportive mother. 'I am thankful that I have the support that other people don’t have,' she said. 'You cannot hide who you truly are.'

The teenager admitted that she was hoping to win back an ex-girlfriend, and sent the mystery girl a text message asking for 'another chance'.

The interview was originally supposed to be about Pumpkin revealing her sexual orientation, but she turned it on its head when she told the cameras that her mother is 'gay too'.

Mama June said that she doesn't care what other people think of her revelation, explaining: 'I look at it this way, haters are going to hate.'

The mother-of-four shared a link to the interview on her Twitter page on Friday along with the hashtags: '#LGBT #bissexual [sic] #notashamed #supporters.'

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was cancelled by TLC last October following reports June was dating a convicted child molester.

A TLC rep said at the time: 'TLC has cancelled the series Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and ended all activities around the series, effective immediately.

'Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children's ongoing comfort and well-being.'

June and family appeared on Inside Edition in February, and said they were 'doing pretty well' following the show's cancellation, while Honey Boo Boo (real name Alana) had been recording the single Movin' Up.

The family had just moved into their new $149,000 home in Hampton, Georgia at the time.

In February, CBS' The Doctors staged an intervention with June and Alana, warning June that the nine-year-old needs to reduce the amount of sugary and fatty foods and drinks she eats.

The youngster is overweight at 125 pounds and suffers from asthma and the health professionals said she faces a myriad of health issues unless drastic action is taken.

An update on The Doctors that aired Monday revealed that Honey Boo Boo is struggling to stick to a new diet of chef prepared meals that include lots of fresh fruit and veggies and that her mom is not being as supportive as she could be.

However, now that Mama June is set to appear on the syndicated Dr. Oz Show next week to talk about her own weight issues, she's been working out with Fett, who counts Matthew McConaughey and Heidi Klum among her celebrity clients.

The family were seen working out with a personal trainer near their home on Thursday.

June is also mother to Anna 'Chickadee', 20, and Jessica 'Chubbs', 18. Her four children all have different fathers.
