Big Brother star Reggie Bird has finally secured paid employment, after previously sharing her frustration after being rejected for entry-level positions at both Subway and Aldi.
The beloved reality TV star, 52, shared a gallery of photos on social media on Wednesday which showed her hard at work for Subway, handing out rolls to students at a university campus.
Reggie looked radiant in the fast food chain's uniform as she posed with some fellow employees during a break.
She beamed from ear-to-ear as she happily worked on campus, clearly delighted to have finally secured employment after being rejected from a Subway store last month.
Reggie captioned the gallery with some exciting words: 'Well I had such a great day at QUT up in Brisbane handing out free Subway subs to the uni students.
'Loved seeing their faces light up when they found out the food was for free. Absolutely loved it.'

Many of Reggie's followers took to the comments section to congratulate her on finally securing employment.
'Awesome Reggie! Nice work,' one person wrote.
'So wonderful,' a second added.
Reggie's happy news comes just weeks after she was knocked back from a role as a sandwich maker at a local Subway store.
She was quick to share her disappointment after being rejected by the popular sandwich chain, which employs thousands of people across Australia.
'Bugger... I can't even get a job making sandwiches,' Reggie wrote.
Following that, she suffered yet another job rejection from an Aldi supermarket on the Gold Coast.
In December 2024, Reggie opened up about feeling like a failure despite winning Big Brother twice, during an appearance on the Mental As Anyone podcast.

Speaking with host Jonathan Moran, the mother of two revealed that despite winning the reality competition in 2003 and 2022, she still struggles to find work.
'I sort of feel like a failure,' she said.
The TV personality said she could not understand why employers were unwilling to give her an opportunity.
'I'm starting to think, why doesn't anyone want to give me a job? I want to work and that starts to make you feel like... no one wants you,' she said.
'I could answer phones. I'm good at talking to people,' Reggie said, adding that her disability does not prevent her from contributing in the workplace.
She lives with a rare eye condition that has left her with severe vision impairment.
'I'm limited to what I can do because my eyes are so stuffed. I've now got nine degrees of pinhole vision, no peripheral vision and no night vision left,' she said.
'I only just see what's in front of me. It's like looking through a straw - that's how I explain it to people.'
