Illness ... Reggie is going blind / The Daily Telegraph

REGGIE Sorensen, the popular winner of Network Ten's Big Brother 2003, has revealed she is going blind.

Reggie says she is suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited, degenerative condition that affects just one in 3000 Australians.

Reggie, 34, told Woman's Day magazine it's only a matter of time before she loses her sight completely.

"I was diagnosed with RP a while ago, but it was one of those things I didn't really worry about," she told the magazine.

"But in the last six months it had gotten a lot worse."

The former fish and chip shop owner revealed she and husband Dale, along with 18-month-old daughter Mia, may have to move to the UK for treatment but in the meantime she will meet with someone from Guide Dogs Australia to discuss "what will happen".

It's sad really - I went to school with a girl who had the disease. She was born with it.. Started learning braile in Elementry.. Sad disease..
