The series features 12 celebrity relatives who live in a house together with the goal of concealing who in their family is famous. The winner receives $100,000 but Skye admits Goldberg was initially uneasy aboutย her participation.

โ€œShe was scared,โ€ she told the esteemed magazine. โ€œBut after everything went the way that it was supposed to go, she was happy. The best advice she gave me was to just do what [I] gotta do and come back stronger, better and, you know, prepared [because] this is my big break.โ€

She also says that the actress and The View co-host can get on her nerves, but thatโ€™s a normal trait that certain relatives possess.

โ€œI just feel like people know my grandmother for being Whoopi. Sheโ€™s iconic, sheโ€™s political, everything she says holds water, but thatโ€™s the viewerโ€™s eyes,โ€ Skye explained.

โ€œSheโ€™s my grandmother and sheโ€™s also really a grandmother. People who are lucky enough to have them know, grandmothers are annoying and itโ€™s another parent. You love her, but sheโ€™s annoying, and you know, itโ€™s family.โ€

Ultimately, Skye is grateful for their unique bond. โ€œMe and my grandma are super close. Sheโ€™s everything. It gets frustrating because itโ€™s like, how am I going to compete with that? But Iโ€™m lucky enough to have that.โ€
