Reggie from Big Brother is blind and homeless
As the winner of Australia’s Big Brother in 2003, Reggie Bird walked away from the television series with a whopping $250,000 prize.
But times have been tough for the reality star since receiving the prize money - and now she faces the threat of homelessness.
“I’m so scared" she told Woman's Day magazine.
"One day your kids are cuddled up and warm and safe and just like that, it could all be gone.
"I owe my kids a warm bed and a safe house, that’s not too much to ask, is it?”
The 43-year-old revealed that she’s been living in a property for the last five years with her two children Mia, 10, and Lucas, 7.
But she recently received an eviction notice after an ongoing dispute with the landlord.
The mother-of-two, who is also legally blind, admitted that she's questioned all the time by people about what she did with her prize money.
Over the years she has struggled with her finances and lost another $40,000 to a conman who promised her her own TV show.
Hearing the mother’s cry for help, David Ventullo from Vertullo Real Estate who manages the property said they are doing everything they can for Reggie.
“We will do everything to make sure she gets her full bond back,” he said to the outlet.
