United States reality TV show Toddlers and Tiaras is a beauty pageant for children.
And the latest shock contestant is four-year-old Maddy Jackson - sporting fake C-cup breasts and padding on her bottom.
The London Daily Mail reports that the toddler is shown sporting detachable bust and butt enhancements, before performing live on stage in an attempt to mimic her curvaceous icon, country singer Dolly Parton
“With the extra padding concealed under her Barbie pink Lycra catsuit, Maddy's tiny frame is transformed into an hourglass silhouette.” the newspaper reports.
When questioned on NBC's Today show, her mother Lindsay, defends the enhancements used by her daughter.
She tells presenter Savannah Guthrie: “To some people, it's over the top, to us it's just what happens... It's just normal. When she wears the fake boobs and the fake butt, it's just like extra bonus.'“
The Daily Mail reports that other young contestants seem perturbed by her appearance, as they watch Lindsay rearrange her daughter's fake breasts and one even probes the chicken fillets before Maddy crosses her arms defensively.
Lindsay says as she watches her child's confused expression: “I don't think Maddy knew how to explain and why she had those enhancements on.” - IOL
