There is ‘no way’ former reality TV contestant Suzi Taylor can comply with bail regardless of the conditions imposed, a court has heard.

The ex-Block star appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Thursday accused of breaching bail and failing to appear.

In proceedings on Friday, the Supreme Court heard Taylor was arrested two nights ago when police attended a disturbance.

‘Police have kindly only charged her with six breaches of bail, it could have been more than 70,’ prosecutor Annica Fritz.

Taylor has been on ‘every single bail condition available’, including curfews, no alcohol and GPS tracking, and there were no further conditions that could be applied to strengthen an order, Ms Fritz said.

‘There is no way she can comply with bail,’ she said.

Taylor has notched up a long list of legal troubles since surging to fame on renovations program The Block in 2015.

The ex-model, whose real name is Suellen Jan Taylor, faces 103 charges, including extortion and deprivation of liberty over an alleged ‘honey trap’ incident.

The 50-year-old had been ordered to live with her mother, with whom she had recently reconciled, surrendered her passport and undertook mental health treatment.

On Thursday, defence solicitor Michael Gatenby said Taylor (left) was unable to show cause and would plead guilty to failing to appear and breaches of bail on April 13

But in less than a month, her excessive drinking and alleged refusal to stick to her court-ordered curfew saw her kicked out.

Taylor was then ordered to reside at a Brisbane mental health facility before again being evicted for intoxication.

She is also due to face trial on the outstanding matters in a separate court.
