Photos: WOWZA! Human Ken Doll, Rodrigo Alves is now a transgender woman

She revealed on Monday that she is now a transgender woman, after years of trying to find her true identity with £600k worth of ill-advised cosmetic surgeries.

And Rodrigo Alves, formerly known as The Human Ken Doll, appeared on This Morning on Tuesday to discuss how her secret wish to become female, could have cost the TV personality her life. The 36-year-old said: 'I should have seen a psychologist but instead I self-medicated with hormones and then I was at an event having drinks and the next thing I knew I was in hospital.'

Roddy, who now uses the pronouns 'she' and 'her', has had hormone injections to achieve feminine hips and now wears a D-cup bra. The star, who says her 'body matches my mind' now, will complete her transition with gender reassignment surgery next year. This will mean that Roddy will get silicone breast implants, 'face feminisation surgery', Adam's apple removal, have her jawline shaved and her chin modified, as well as having her penis and testicles removed. 'I love it and everything that comes with it – going to nice hair salons and getting my nails, eyebrows and eyelashes done. Buying dresses and high heels and wearing sexy lingerie,' Roddy, who now lives in London, said.
