Rodrigo Alves (pronounced [ho.ˈdɾi.ɡo ˈaw.vis]; born 1983), sometimes referred to as the Human Ken Doll, is a Brazilian-born (British father[4]) British television personality, who moved to London at the age of 19,[4] noted for having undergone dozens of plastic surgeries in an attempt to perfect his own appearance, "due to a genetic issue" (gynecomastia).[5]

As of January 2018, Alves has spent just over £500,000 undergoing 103 cosmetic procedures, including injectables,[6] 51[4] of which were plastic surgeries.[1] In early 2018 Alves had four ribs removed from his rib cage so that he could better fit into his clothing.[7] Said Alves,[8] "My blazers have to be altered. I had to always have a bigger blazer and get it altered. I had four ribs removed so that I can do up my blazers without having to breathe in or have my blazers altered. I have a 20-inch waist now. It can be a dangerous procedure, absolutely."[9]

Alves claims: bacterial infections; liposuction; gel filler injected into shoulders, biceps, and triceps; Minoxidil, applied topically; hair implants; facelifts; painted contact lenses; 9 rhinoplasties.[4]

On 16 August 2018, Alves entered the UK television show, Celebrity Big Brother as a celebrity housemate. After using the racial slur "nigger" in a conversation over the type of sexual partner he preferred, Alves was given a "final warning" by producers, that if he repeated the language he would be evicted from the house. The incident garnered over 1,000 complaints to regulator OfCom.[10] After a further incident, Alves was expelled from the show in the early hours of the morning on the tenth day.[11][12]
