Big Brother star Reggie Bird put on a brave face to run some errands on the Gold Coast on Thursday.

The 48-year-old was seen arriving on a local bus, most likely after being refused a taxi service.
Big Brother star Reggie Bird was spotted shopping on the Gold Coast on Thursday
In 2016, she revealed that most taxi drivers won't pick her up because she isn't travelling far enough, even though she's unable to drive herself due to her vision impairment.
'Even when you're getting a taxi – I've had a few say, "You're only going up the road, why can't you walk?" Things like that upset me,' she told the Daily Edition.
She also admitted that she struggles to get around with her walking cane for assistance.
'Sometimes when I forget to take my cane to the shops and I bang into people... they look at me because I'm so young and just think I’m being rude.'

Reggie carried the glittery dresses over her shoulder as she used the cane to walk down the footpath
Wearing a badge that read 'I have low vision', Reggie carried a set of dazzling outfits that she appeared to have collected from the dry cleaners.
At one point, a bird flew dangerously close to her as she made her way across a zebra crossing.
The sparkly garments she was carrying could suggest she is gearing up for the Big Brother finale, which is just weeks away.
Reggie is tipped to win the 2022 season, with viewers placing their bets on her to take home the title.
She holds odds of 1.75 on both Sportsbet and TAB.
