There wasn't a dry eye in the house when single mum-of-two and much-loved Aussie battler Reggie Bird was crowned winner for the second time of Big Brother Australia.

Pocketing a life-changing $250,000 in prize money, standing by her side were her two precious children, 15-year-old daughter Mia, and 12-year-old son Lucas, both gasping in disbelief as they heard their mother's name announced.

Not too far away in the crowd and beaming from ear to ear sat Reggie's biggest fan, 41-year-old single dad Phillip Jade, who Reggie reveals for the first time to Woman's Day is the "beautiful soul" who has stolen her heart.

"To look down from the stage surrounded by my kids and my little sister Anita, and to see Phil so proud of what I've achieved, wiping away happy tears with his daughter India next to him - that instant is etched forever in my heart as a moment when my life in a blink of an eye just got a whole lot brighter," Reggie shares exclusively.
