Ruth Codd is an Irish actress best known for starring in Netflix's The Midnight Club and The Fall of the House of Usher. After starting out as a make-up artist and barber, she began her acting career after the Covid pandemic.
In January 2024, she came third in Celeb Cooking School and most recently has been cast as Phlegma in the live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon.
When she was 15, she injured her foot whilst playing football and at age 23 she had to have her right leg amputated below the knee due to ongoing complications from the old injury. She uses her TikTok and other social media accounts to promote disability awareness.
Why did Ruth sign up for The Celebrity Traitors?
Ruth agreed to take part in The Celebrity Traitors due to being a big fan of the show, but admits to being nervous. "I'm questioning everything now! I've never done anything like this before. I watched the show, and I just thought it'd be really good fun," she told the BBC.
Does Ruth want to be a Faithful or Traitor?
Ruth said she would be happy playing either role as she's a "very indecisive person. I flip-flop back and forth" and is now a Faithful.
The Celebrity Traitors continues on Wednesday 15th October at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
