Frankie - who is known for his YouTube vlog - revealed that his half-sister had given him her blessing to appear on the CBS reality show.
"I got to call Ariana on camera and tell her what I was doing and she just said, 'I know how much you love the show. Go make them fall in love with you ā¦ but don't show them all of you because a lot of people will hate you for that'," he told
People.
"We both get so much hate online but it is usually about ourselves. I'm hoping there is more love than hate on me while I'm on the show because Ariana was like, 'I'm going to kill myself if I have to read hate about you too'."
