Reggie Bird sustained a nasty injury while celebrating the New Year with friends.
The Big Brother star, 50, was definitely in the mood for a big night, taking to Instagram before her New Year’s celebrations kicked off.
In the photo, Reggie proudly held up a bottle of Passion Pop, grinning widely at the camera.
Reggie, who has a rare degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa, was also wearing a Vision Australia badge that read: ‘Not P***ed, Low Vision.’
However, it seems that Reggie may have overindulged in the unique Aussie sparkling wine.
Taking to the social media platform again on Friday, Reggie shared the aftermath of her wild night.

The photo showed Reggie holding up the leg of her shorts to reveal a smattering of bruises on the side of her leg.
The dark purple marks looked quite painful and covered a large area on her upper thigh.
A second photo showed a close-up of Reggie’s giggle-worthy Vision Australia badge.
‘Was wondering why I’m sore. Definitely was wearing the wrong badge,’ Reggie quipped before adding she ‘fell over at the party.’
Reggie’s friends and followers were quick to comment on her New Year’s malady.
‘Oh no Reggie, the passion pop really did get you good! Hope you are feeling a bit better today, apart from the bruising,’ one fan commented, while another chimed in with a similar: ‘That’s what happens when you drink passion pop.’
A third noticed the scratched on Reggie’s badge, hinting this may not have been the reality star’s first party mishap.
‘Your badge looks like it’s bit the dust a few times,’ the follower wrote.

Reggie’s New Year’s injury comes after she revealed a video she posted to Facebook had been removed for violating community guidelines.
The two-time Big Brother winner posted to Instagram in November to tell her fans she may be kicked off the platform after getting a warning for sharing a video in which she buys some Spanx shapewear.
‘I think someone seriously has it in for me because I’m getting all these notifications from Facebook restrictions,’ she said.
‘Especially about the video that I did the other day trying on Spanx. They’re saying it was sexual. There was nothing sexual about trying on Spanx undies.’
She also referenced a second video, in which she was blowing up a pool toy, which was likewise removed for guideline violations.
Reggie continued: ‘And then I got flagged again for the video of me blowing up a pool toy. Nothing sexual about that whatsoever.
‘Like, how can you blow up a floating pool toy and get restricted for posting it? It’s unbelievable.
Reggie said ‘someone’ is reporting all her videos and she ‘can’t even appeal’.
Reggie made history when she became the first reality star to win Big Brother twice, the first time in 2003 and again in 2022
‘This is Facebook, but it’s happening a lot, and I think that someone is seriously reporting my post, so you can’t even appeal. It’s crazy.
‘I have seen worse stuff than trying on a pair of undies and blowing up a pool toy on social media, so what do you do? I just don’t know what to do anymore,’ she said, calling the situation, ‘absolute madness.’
‘Can someone please start up another bloody platform where you can blow up pool toys without getting banned?’ she added.

Despite taking home $250,000 in prize money during the 2003 and 2022 seasons of Big Brother, the TV personality has struggled financially over the years.
Bird is legally blind after being diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa as well as Usher syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision.
