A lot of people would remember how Rodrigo Alves was unceremoniously evicted from the 'Celebrity Big Brother' House following a serious and inappropriate incident. As if that wasn't bad enough, the Human Ken Doll was recently arrested in Berlin by the police for failing to provide them with a valid passport for himself.

Speaking to Daily Mail, he said, "I was filming for a TV show for the PRO7 German TV network and during filming, the crew was stopped by police who asked to check our ID's. They wanted to know that we had permission from the local consul in Berlin to film in the streets."

"All the paperwork for filming was fine, but I was arrested because I was accidentally carrying my old expired passport and not my new one. It was not possible for the police to Face ID me because I now look so different from the photo. Someone had to bring a scan of my new passport for me to be released."

Reports suggest that Rodrigo was in Germany for some filming commitments, as well as to have a body scan for Madame Tussauds, Berlin. The Human Ken Doll, despite his arrest, seemed to be in good spirits, dressed in a pink velvet suit, a frilly white shirt, and matching loafers.

Before his arrest, Rodrigo was spotted sightseeing around the German city, even posing with the guards at Checkpoint Charlie. The news of his arrest comes after Rodrigo underwent another surgical procedure in a bid to look young, reports the media outlet.

Despite turning his back on more cosmetic surgeries, the TV star spent £2,000 on the cosmetic procedure at Star Beauty Center in Moscow. In the past, he has been known to spend over £500k on surgery over the years in a bid to change his appearance. He also reportedly underwent 60 procedures.

It was previously also reported that Rodrigo was sent back from 'Celebrity Big Brother' after being issued a formal warning for using racist language on the Channel 5 reality programme. "After a further incident, Rodrigo has been removed from the Big Brother House and will not be returning," the broadcaster said.

However, the reality star said in his statements that he had decided to leave the show because he "could not cope without his mobile phone". He said, "I'm no longer interested in the show or anything to do with it," adding, "Simply because it wasn't for me."
