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.
