Rodrigo: 'This country makes me happy'
Rodrigo has been evicted from the Big Brother house after finishing in fifth place.

The 24-year-old left the compound to a warm reception and shook hands with members of the crowd.

He then sat down with Davina to discuss his time on the series.

The highlights of Rodrigo's interview:

On leaving the house: "I'm very well. I enjoyed so much of my time in the house. I'm so glad to leave on the last day so I could enjoy every single day in the house."

On Great Britain: "Everyone knows, I don't need to say how much I love this country."

On staying until the final but not winning: "For me, the most important thing was when I came to this country, I was not expecting to be on the show. I just realised everyone in the country accepted me, and I'm really, really happy just to leave on the last day. It means so much."

On Charlie: "We are just friends. We love another, we have a friendship. I like him very much, we are very good friends. We have similar personalities."

On what his family in Brazil would think: "I'm sure my family in Brazil are really glad with me being on the show. They know how glad, how happy this country makes me. This country is the reason of my happiness. Being on this show is the chance I have to say to everyone, I love this country so much I feel that I am British."

On seeing a video of his Brazilian family: "They are proud of me, thank you, thank you."
