Reality star unrecognisable as she appears on Squid Game The Challenge seven years after US TV show
ONE of the big reality stars of yesteryear has appeared on Netflix’s new Squid Game: The Challenge show.
Figgy, real name Jess Figgy Figueroa, starred in Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, seven years ago.
One fan recognised the star and penned on X/Twitter: “Oh it’s Figgy from Survivor. How did I not realise it was her?”
Another added: “Figgy of Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X is on Squid Game The Challenge?”
Figgy, 30, competed on Survivor season 33 and now she’s finally made a come-back to reality TV with Squid Game: The Challenge.
The star was revealed to be a contestant earlier last week.
The new reality series inspired by the South Korean drama will see 456 cast members taking part in stressful, nail-biting challenges.
The first five episodes have aired on Netflix.
Some contestants on the show are looking to sue amid claims of serious injuries and hypothermia.
A few complained about feeling unwell after they had to stay motionless for hours in freezing temperatures while filming in the UK.
Figgy isn’t the only TV legend on the show. Fan favourite Wolf, real name Michael Van Wijk, now 70, starred in eight series of Gladiators, which drew up to 16million viewers in the 1990s.
An insider told The Sun: “Everyone recognised him straight away and was excited to meet him.”
