Since winning Big Brother Australia in 2003, Reggie Sorensen (then Reggie Bird) has gone through some tough times, especially with regards to her health. In this 2009 interview with 60 Minutes, the down-to-earth battler from Tasmania talks about being declared legally blind, after she was diagnosed with the rare eye disease, retinitis pigmentosa. This disease has left her with only 90% of her central vision and no night vision. Because it's hereditary, she was worried she would pass it on to her children.
