Regina Bird
Encyclopedia : R : RE : REG : Regina Bird
Regina "Reggie" Bird was a contestant and eventual winner of the 2003 series of Australian Big Brother. Small in stature with an unusual nasal intonation, she earned public admiration with her down-to-earth charm, strong work ethic, and naivety. Reggie was widely tipped to win Big Brother from early in the series and won with 70% of the final vote, the biggest margin in a Big Brother Finale to date.
Before the show, Reggie and her husband Adrian managed a fish and chip shop in Cambridge, Tasmania. They ended their marriage after the show.
After her win, Reggie signed up with manager Harry M. Miller and filmed a pilot for a TV show which never made it to air. From December 2004 to May 2005 she worked with the Virgin Blue airline as a flight attendant. She was a contestant on 2005 Nine Network celebrity skating competition series Skating on Thin Ice.
She spent some time residing in Sydney and later Melbourne. She now lives in Queensland.
