Rodrigo Alves joins Celebrity Big Brother: Get to know the person behind the ‘Human Ken Doll’ veneer

Celebrity Big Brother is back and this series sees more controversial faces than ever before.

Themed 'The Eye of the Storm,' the contestants include celebs who have found themselves the centre of media storms.

The fifth contestant to enter the house on Thursday night was 'Human Ken doll' Rodrigo Alves, joining contestants Ryan Thomas and Kirstie Alley.

The 35-year-old has spent over £500,000 on plastic surgery and reportedly carries his removed ribs around in a jar.

Here's everything else you need to know about Rodrigo Alves:

What is he famous for?

Alves is most famous for having 150 plastic surgery procedures in a bid to look like Barbie's boyfriend, Ken.

He's had liposuction, pec implants, a hair transplant, a bum lift and has even had four ribs removed to make his blazers fit better.

Speaking on This Morning in 2017, he said he got plastic surgery because he was born in the "wrong body."

Alves suffered complications after surgery in 2014 and was temporarily left unable to move his arms after having gel injected into them to make them more muscular.

He's also appeared in over 80 TV shows, including documentaries and reality TV.

When did he appear on Celebrity Big Brother?

Alves was the fifth celebrity to join the CBB house on Thursday 16th August.

The eccentric star has already threatened to leave the show if he is not granted access to luxury items.

He told the Sun online: "My requests are very simple. I want my eye-drops in my pocket at all times or else they get very dry and I can't see properly.

"Also I have to use my own hair straightener. I don't use them all the time, but I like to style my hair sometimes. That's another one of my demands.

"The final one is my drink. I have to have sparkling wine - I don't care if it's champagne, cava or prosecco."
