The ‘Human Ken Doll’ used the n-word twice in conversation while talking to fellow housemate Dan Osborne.

Rodrigo was in bed with Love Island star Gabby Allen, model Chloe Ayling and beauty pageant contestant Natalie Nunn when they called Dan over to ask if he was married.

As Natalie suggested that Dan was Rodrigo’s type, the 35-year-old said:”I like a n***** boy. He’s too white for my taste.”

When Gabby asked what he just said, Rodrigo repeated the slur. Big Brother gave Rodrigo a formal warning the following day:

Rodrigo, before you entered the Big Brother house, the rules regarding unacceptable language and behaviour were explained to you. This morning at 2.40am in the bedroom, in a conversation with Dan, Gabby, Chloe and Natalie, you used the n-word twice.

Rodrigo, this word is highly offensive, and very likely to cause offence to both your housemates and the viewing public.’

Rodrigo said: “Last night I was very excited to be here, and I had quite a lot to drink, and I was intoxicated. Today I’m very hungover, and obviously I regret that, using the n-word, that was not necessary at all. It was just excitement.”

Big Brother responded:

None of that is relevant Rodrigo, that is not an excuse’, before handing down the formal warning.”

Former housemater James Jordan also refuted Rodrigo’s drunk claims, tweeting:

I’ve been in the @bbuk house twice and can tell you they don’t send enough alcohol in for people to get that pissed. People pretend they are drunk so they can act like dicks to get air time and then use it as an excuse.”
