Former Big Brother star Rodrigo Lopes has revealed that he has been approached about appearing on a foreign version of the show.

The Brazilian student told Heatworld:

Lopes explained: “My management have been approached by a foreign production company making Big Brother in a different territory, who have asked if I would consider going onto their new series as a guest housemate.

“I’m really excited! It’s being talked about as we speak, so watch this space!”

Big Brother housemates Marcus Akin, Charlie Drummond and Rodrigo Lopes actually applied for the show last year according to The Sun.

The trio were eventually rejected from the main lineup but they did make it as far as the test house, in which producers watched how they interacted as a group.

Producers are said to have been severely disappointed by the calibre of applicants this year and called upon Marcus. Charlie and Rodrigo to step in instead.

A source said: “There was a real dearth of contestants this time. Bosses had hardly any one to choose from.”

Big Brother housemate Kris Donnelly has locked his pal Rodrigo Lopez in the stocks.

Rodrigo was a little baffled by the contraption so Kris offered to show him how they worked.

“It goes in like that,” said Kris, as he lowered Rodrigo in. “And what does this do?” asked the Brazilian. “Nothing yet. I’ll show you,” Kris replied.

Kris left Rod for a few seconds and returned with Charlie who proceeded to tickle him. They lifted his skirt over his head which upset Rodrigo.

Charlie and Rodrigo have locked lips in the Big Brother pool.

After completing their dancing flower task, Charlie approached Rodrigo in the pool asking for some alcohol in exchange for a kiss.

Rodrigo kindly agreed, and the pair shared a kiss whilst the other housemates clapped and cheered.

Rodrigo is a 23 year old student from Brazil. He is an eternally positive guy who smiles A LOT!

Rodrigo is half Italian, half Brazilian and came to the UK to study and to search for a better life. His family still live in Brazil and he speaks to them everyday although he never wants to go back to Brazil saying “England is everything to me”.

Rodrigo thinks that British people find him “very strange” because he hugs and kisses people and is very tactile but he says this is just a cultural thing. Before he came to the UK he wasn’t interested in men but now he thinks he might be gay, although on average he dates an equal amount of men and women.
