Celebrity Big Brother housemate quit show 'because his nose could have fallen off'
He's a big fan of plastic surgery
Taking part in Celebrity Big Brother could be quite a harrowing experience - the lack of freedom, the massive arguments, the public hatred - so the stars could be forgiven for having a change of heart when it comes to appearing on the show.But one of the names who was rumoured to be heading into the reality television house until recently has reportedly pulled out for a very different reason - because his nose could have fallen off.
Rodrigo Alves has hit the headlines over the years for having a multitude of plastic surgery procedures in a bid to look like a human Ken doll.
It will be his 10th on his nose and this time he is attempting to correct his breathing.
He told the MailOnline: “I don’t want to have another nose operation, but I have no choice.
“I wanted to look better, but now I can’t breathe at all. So it has been hard to deal with. It is going to be very painful and risky.”
A source told OK!: “Roddy was supposed to enter the house in 2018, but then things got moved around and he was scheduled to join the next series starting in August.
“But now, he’s decided to go off around the world and party for a month and also get some more surgery on his nose which he has wanted for a very long time.”
14-month-old boy accidentally locks himself in his mother's car, laughs as firefighters try to free him
14-month-old Brandon Emery was recently rescued by firefighters from a locked car while he watched from the driver's seat laughing after accidentally locking himself inside. His mother, Kirsty Green said she had been grocery shopping with him and had just unloaded the groceries into the boot of her car when he managed to trap himself.
'He'd been in the little child seat of the shopping trolley but it didn't have any straps, so he kept trying to stand up while I was shopping. I decided to put him in the back of the car while I was unloading the shopping so he didn't keep trying to stand up in the trolley,' she said.
Kristy said she had absent-mindedly placed her car keys in the boot while she was loading the car, and realised she had forgotten to pick them up when her son pushed down the central locks inside the car.
'I was a bit panicky at first, wondering how I was going to get him out, but luckily a few other shoppers quickly came to help me out, and one lady working phoned 101. It wasn't a particularly hot or sunny day so once I knew the rescue crews were on the way I knew he'd be fine.'The members of the rescue team confirmed that the 14-month-old boy was 'quickly' released from the car and returned to his mother uninjured.
