Former Big Brother winner Reggie Sorenson is ready to get back in the public eye despite health battles Reggie Sorensen, known as Reggie Bird when she won Big Brother 10 years ago, with her two kids Lucas and Mia. Picture: Richard Gosling Source: News Limited HER positive nature on Big Brother made her a national star, and Reggie Sorensen (nee Bird) is using that same attitude to get through life every day. Sorensen has lost much of her vision in the past few years, suffering from an eye disease called retinal pigmentation. "My eyes are deteriorating really badly," she says. Based on the Gold Coast, the 2003 Big Brother winner is also a single mother to Mia, 6, and Lucas, 4, who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Despite all this, Reggie can still laugh and sports a smile. Reggie Sorensen hangs out with Mia and Lucas Sorensen in their backyard. Almost two years ago she split from husband Dale, who still has an active part in the kids' lives. "When they are at Dale's two days a week I just go up to the bowls club where the old people are and have a beer," she says. The 39-year-old says she'd love to do more work in the media. "No one ever offers me anything," she says. I wish they would so I could earn some money. It would be great to do something. Bird says if there ever was a Big Brother All Stars, she would jump at the opportunity. "People always ask me if I would do it again, and of course I would," she says.
