Australian Big Brother winner Regina "Reggie" Sorensen has revealed that she is going blind.
The former fish and chip shop owner, who won the show in 2003, said she is suffering from the inherited degenerative condition retinitis pigmentosa.
She told Woman's Day that she is now legally blind and will eventually lose her sight completely.
The 34-year-old said: "I was diagnosed with RP a while ago, but it was one of those things I didn't really worry about. But in the last six months it has gotten a lot worse."
Sorensen has 16-month-old daughter Mia with husband Dale, whom she married last November.
She told the magazine that she may have to move to the UK for treatment.
