Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant UK

The Teen Mom universe keeps growing! This month sees the start of a brand new spin-off- a UK version of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant. The original Teen Mom, now re-named Teen Mom OG (itself a spin-off on the American reality show 16 and Pregnant, which follows pregnant teenagers) started in 2009 and there have been several other shows since- Teen Mom 2, Teen Mom 3 (cancelled after one season), Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant and Teen Mom: Young Moms Club (formerly Pretty Little Mamas). There have also been several international versions, including Teen Mom UK and Teen Mom Australia. Series 6 of TM: UK just finished and now the British version of Young and Pregnant is due to start next week.

TM: Young and Pregnant UK follows 4 new girls- Charlie, Alisha, Laura and Charlotte who are all expecting babies. When TM UK started only Mia Boardman was pregnant but this time all of the mums were pregnant during filming. (Which makes sense since this is "young and pregnant"! lol).

Charlie

Charlie Hodder, 18, who lives in Doncaster, is pregnant by boyfriend Brett, 19, whom she'd been dating 7 months at the time they found out. The couple have moved in with Charlie's family. They have a daughter, Harlow.

Alisha

19 year old Londoner Alisha is married to Umair, 20, whom she met at college. She converted from Sikhism to Islam so she could marry him, and now they are expecting their first child, daughter Arabella.

Update 14/3/20:  Found her Instagram through a Reality Titbit article. Check out for more info and Umair's social media too: https://www.realitytitbit.com/mtv/meet-alisha-on-instagram-teen-mom-young-and-pregnant-uk-on-mtv


Laura

18 year old Laura Fairhurst, from Ormskirk  in West Lancashire has a story we haven't seen so far on any Teen Mom shows. She fell in love with the "girl next door" Morgan, they got married and found a sperm donor on Facebook to have son Kingsley together! He was born in January.

Charlotte

Charlotte O'connor, 16, from Essex is pregnant with identical twins Isabella and Brianna and lives with her mum Donna, who sadly has a terminal condition. The babies' dad is no longer around, so Charlotte has to cope with single motherhood, as well as her mum being unwell.


I can't find a trailer on YouTube to post here but there are some "Get to Know" videos. Here's Alisha's:

Update 14/3/20: Alisha's video has been made private for some reason. Doesn't make any sense because it was an official MTV video! So here's a clip from Episode 8 of all the mums meeting up instead:

I will update with the girls; social media links if/when they have more of an online presence. As time goes on the Teen Moms tend to have more of following on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant starts on Wednesday 8th September at 8pm on MTV UK.

In more Teen Mom news, we just saw Shannon Wise from TM UK give birth to her second son Frankie, a brother to 2 year old Theodore. You can see the birth here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7K7Sei-L8E

And fellow mum Amber Butler from TM: UK just had her second baby as well, a boy called Hudson. His older brother is Brooklyn, 4. Read the birth announcement here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MDNIBlaIx/

Also two American Young and Pregnant stars also gave birth last month. Kayla Sessler  had a girl called Ariah, her first with new boyfriend Luke. She already has son Izaiah with her ex Stefan. Read about it here: https://starcasm.net/teen-mom-kayla-sessler-gives-birth-daughter-ariah-jordynn-davis/

And Lexi Tatman had a boy called Jay who joins big brother Tobias: http://www.mtv.com/news/3137355/teen-mom-young-pregnant-lexi-tatman-baby-boy/

She's no longer on the show so we won't get to follow her storyline anymore, which is a shame. But we can still see updates online.
