AceShowbiz - Danny, a contestant on "Claim to Fame" season 3, whose real name is Nael Zayas, initially faced speculation about his connection to country singer Jelly Roll. However, after his elimination on August 14, Danny disclosed the truth: his celebrity relative is Grammy-winner Marc Anthony.

Nael's theory about Jelly Roll stemmed from a grape jelly jar clue on the show and his resemblance to the mullet-wearing wrestler Dusty Rhodes. His competitors never got to verify their theory, as Nael was eliminated after incorrectly guessing Mackenzie's relative as Blake Shelton.

During a recent interview with PEOPLE, Nael discussed his thought process behind his Blake Shelton guess and the exhausting experience of speculating about others' celebrity relatives. He expressed surprise that he had not been eliminated earlier, given the housemates' attempts to unmask him.

Nael's fellow contestants were stunned by his revelation, and he acknowledged that keeping his secret hidden surprised even him. He noted that Anthony's ex-wife Jennifer Lopez's clue was an obvious giveaway but that he tried to deflect attention from it.

Anthony, who is Nael's uncle, fully supported his participation on the show and advised him to be his genuine self. Nael expressed admiration for his uncle's achievements and found inspiration in his advice.

"Claim to Fame" airs on ABC Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
