Rodrigo Lopes, now living as a woman called Rebeca, has become a £40-a-session hooker with up to three clients a day.

She said: “I have nothing. I’ve turned to prostitution to live. I have no other choice. It’s heartbreaking.”

The Brazilian blonde became a household name on Channel 4’s Big Brother 10 in 2009, then presented by Davina McCall, 46.

But in private she was using cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy.

She had problems funding the gender switch before finding she could make money as a specialist hooker.

Rebeca told Heat magazine: “I’ve tried everything. I go for interviews for bar work. They say they’ll call me but they never do.”

She now plans to move from her native Brazil to Britain.

“You are so accepting,” she said. “I don’t want to be pointed at and laughed at any more. My dream is to get married and to adopt a child. I just want to be loved for me.”

Blonde Rebeca also revealed that she once fell in love with a client.

But she said: “I found out he was a liar and a cheat and then he beat me up.”

She turned to her family back home in Brazil for support and was shocked to find they could not accept her new identity.

Rebeca added: “It’s so bad for me. I take female hormones to make me into a woman, I take a testosterone blocker, anti-depressants and then I take Viagra so I can sleep with these men. It’s degrading.

“I want to have boob implants and get my penis removed, but I don’t have enough money."

“What I earn from sleeping with men will go towards the surgery I need."

So sad to see her like this. She was such a great looking guy and was one of my favourite housemates I hope she gets everything she wants out of life eventually.

That is so sad, it looks like a cry for help for someone to fund the surgery.

Maybe for you because you were a foetus but not to me.

Oh yes, such a heartbreaking story

[Marsh.]

Don't they only take hormone treatments whilst undergoing the surgery?

Why would they give him female hormones/block his male ones whilst leaving him with male physical attributes?

[Raph]

wow this is really sad I really liked Rodrigo in BB10
