Former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ housemate Rodrigo Alves has said he “can’t deal” with Dan Osborne’s claims he was removed from the house after behaving “inappropriately” towards him. 

The TV personality, often referred to in the media as the “Human Ken doll”, was thrown off the Channel 5 show under mysterious circumstances last month, with producers choosing not to air the events that led to his exit.

However, in an interview earlier this week, Dan told The Sun it came after an “inappropriate” incident that left him feeling “uncomfortable”, but refused to explain further.

Responding to his former housemate’s comments, Rodrigo told The Sun: “I need to concentrate on my new TV show here in Italy therefore I can’t deal with the current story.

“I have many plans at the moment which is to publish my book and my own fashion line.

“I would like to get away from TV reality shows and concentrate in making movies and on my TV presenting skills.”

A ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ spokesperson declined to comment on the matter when contacted by HuffPost UK.

Prior to his removal, Rodrigo was issued with a “formal and final warning” from ‘CBB’ bosses on his first night in the house, when he dropped the n-word twice during a conversation with his housemates.

Since exiting the house, Rodrigo has apologised for his use of the racial slur in the house, claiming that due to his heritage and the fact he isn’t a native English speaker, he was unaware of the term’s offensive history.

Rodrigo was not present at this year’s ‘CBB’ final, in which Ryan Thomas was crowned winner, and neither was controversial housemate Roxanne Pallett.

14 Most Underappreciated 'Celebrity Big Brother' Housemates
Stephanie Beacham(01 of14)

Stephanie participated in the last Channel 4 series of 'CBB' in 2010, and was undoubtedly our favourite housemate for being low-key iconic. Whether it was taking a bath in her sunglasses, wrapping herself in faux-fur for the majority of her stay or her unlikely bond with the equally camp Ivana Trump, Stephanie deserved much more than to come fifth.

Has there ever been a nicer person to grace the 'CBB' house than former rugby player Gareth? He was a rock for the majority of his housemates in 2012, and provided some calmness against a backdrop of the antics of Denise Welch, Michael Madsen and Frankie Cocozza. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Ivana Trump(03 of14)

The kooky former Mrs Donald Trump was a real character when she was incarcerated in the Borehamwood bungalow, and was up for anything, as this picture of her taking part in a life drawing class proves. Her constant mum dancing around the house had us in stitches, and her friendship with Ms Beacham was ultimate womance-goals. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 4)
Leo Sayer(04 of14)

Leo spent most of his 10 days in the 2007 'CBB' house being utterly miserable and flipping the bird at every camera that dared to film him. Eventually, it all became too much for him after a row with Big Brother over clean underwear and he broke out of the fire exit. An expletive-filled scuffle with security ensued, and while it was undoubtedly once of the most memorable back-door exits ever, we can only imagine what he would have gotten up to had he been talked into staying.

Maggie never quite got the coverage she deserved when she appeared in the January 2018 series, and given her love of a white wine with Amanda Barrie and Wayne Sleep, we can't help but feel like producers robbed us of some classic scenes. Although, we will always be thankful for the moment Maggie got down to fellow housemate Ginuwine's song 'Pony'. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)

From his 'AM I YOUR BOSS?' rant at Luisa Zissman to his overzealous antics in the Over 18s room, Lionel caused quite a stir during his 15 days in the house, but failed to resonate with viewers becoming second to be evicted. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Natalie Cassidy(07 of14)

Part in thanks to Morgana Robinson, Natalie Cassidy has become a bit of a cult figure, but seemingly 'CBB' viewers didn't tap into her brilliance, as she was evicted mid-series in 2012. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Lauren Goodger(08 of14)

Can you name any other 'CBB' contestant who has been told off by Big Brother for drunkenly weeing in the pool? No? Thought not, hence why Lauren Goodger will always be among the most ridiculous housemates of all time. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Liz Jones(09 of14)

Given all of the things she's written in her Daily Mail column over the years, we expected to dislike Liz Jones when she took part in the 2013 series. And while on the whole, she was a bit of a nondescript character in the house, her secret task where she threatened to drown herself in the bath was a moment of sheer brilliance.

Saira Khan(10 of14)

Saira had a lot of BS to deal with during her time in the 'CBB' house back in 2016, mainly from Stephen Bear and Marnie Simpson. While we can understand the 'Loose Women' star didn't always express her point in the best way, she had a lot of valid things to say. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Carol McGiffin(11 of14)

Ah McGiff. Carol was one of the most memorable characters of the 2013 summer series thanks to her drunken antics. However, she failed to finish as highly as fellow 'Loose Women' star Denise Welch, which in our humble opinion was a complete travesty, especially when the person she lost out to was 'Geordie Shore' star Charlotte Crosby.

Jasmine Lennard(13 of14)

Every series of 'CBB' needs a baddie, and 2013's came in the form of model and Simon Cowell's ex Jasmine. She was not afraid to stir things up in the house, but that didn't seem to win her many fans in there, as she found herself nominated and evicted first. Luckily, producers saw her brilliance and invited her back as a guest for the 'Timebomb' series in 2015. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/Channel 5)
Casey Batchelor's mum(14 of14)

OK, so Kim Batchelor may not *technically* have been a housemate, but in the short few minutes she was in the house, Kim delivered one of the moments of the series when she warned her daughter to stay away from troublesome Blue singer Lee Ryan ("He says one thing to your face... then he goes to the Diary Room and says you get on his tits"). Producers, if you are reading this, sign her up for a full series immediately. (credit:Channel 5)
