Who Is Pepper on 'Claim to Fame' Related To? Fans Think They've Guessed It

Claim to Fame has arrived on ABC and already fans are lighting up the internet with their theories about which stars the contestants are related to.

The new series is hosted by Kevin Jonas and his younger brother Frankie (yes, the so-called 'Bonus Jonas') and is already a hit with viewers.

Frankie, 21, was only young when Kevin, Joe and Nick started the Jonas Brothers band but now it seems like he's ready to join his siblings in the spotlight with his hosting gig.

Claim to Fame requires contestants and viewers to get their thinking caps on as they try to piece together celebrity connections: but has Pepper's famous relative been revealed already?

Newsweek has everything you need to know about Claim to Fame and who fans think Pepper is related to.

How Does Claim to Fame Work?

Claim to Fame sees 12 celebrity relatives compete against each other to discover the celebrity connection of their fellow contestants.

Crucially, they need to keep their own famous relative a secret at the same time.

Each week one player will be deemed "the guesser" and will need to successfully identify another contestant's star connection or be eliminated.

The last contestant standing will win a cash prize of $100,000.

What Happened to Pepper on Claim to Fame Episode 1?

Things got off to a very dramatic start on the first episode of Claim to Fame when a contestant was disqualified during the episode.

Contestant Pepper, who was this episode's "guesser" was about to try to guess the identity of her co-star Maxwell when producers stepped in and stopped filming.

When things started back up again, Kevin and Frankie announced that Maxwell was being disqualified for breaking the show's "no electronic devices" rule and using a secret cell phone that he had hidden in his luggage.

Maxwell, who it was revealed is the grandson of Chuck Norris, was sent packing, meaning Pepper was allowed to stay without guessing.

Pepper was extra relieved at this news as she revealed she was going to incorrectly guess Steven Spielberg for Maxwell, which would have got her sent home.

Who Is Pepper From Claim to Fame Related To?

Fans on Twitter went wild during the premiere of Claim to Fame, with comparisons being drawn between Pepper and actresses Anne Hathaway, Maya Rudoplh, Drew Barrymore and Bebe Neuwirth.

Other fans think Pepper could be related to The Shining actress Shelley Duvall, and we have to say we can see the resemblance!

The most convincing theory so far, however, is that Pepper may be the granddaughter of legendary entertainer Dean Martin.

Social media sleuths have clicked onto an article on Pepper's Instagram profile and on the page there is text to suggest she is a relative of the Rat Pack member.

Who Are The Other Claim to Fame Contestants Related To?

There are a lot of fan theories on social media about who the other cast members could be related to.

Currently, viewers believe that LC has a connection with Keke Palmer or Lawrence Fishburne, X is Laverne Cox's brother, and that Dominique looks like Lonni Love.

Despite many viewers pointing out that Logan bears a striking resemblance to Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, it seems fans are convinced that he is in fact related to country music star Jason Aldean.

Amarah has already been revealed to viewers as Whoopi Goldberg's granddaughter.

Claim to Fame continues Mondays at 10/11c on ABC. Episodes will be available to stream on Hulu the day after their airing.
