The first ever series of Celebrity Traitors is underway and it looks as though Jonathan Ross has been rumbled by one of the Faithful as viewers fear his days on the BBC show are numbered
Ruth Codd’s is best known for her Netflix career but has now turned her hand at reality TV as she takes part in the first UK series of Celebrity Traitors. She has proved that she is no wallflower on the show as she hunts down the traitors and has been spot on with one of her guesses.
The Irish star is currently a Faithful on the show but is determined to work out who the three traitors are. Her guesses have been correct so far as, most recently, she has been accusing chat show host Jonathan Ross of backstabbing his teammates.
Wednesday night’s episode saw Ruth declaring that she thinks she has put a “target” on her back as she pounced on Jonathan at the second roundtable. Here’s what we know about outspoken Ruth away from Celebrity Traitors.

Ruth’s professional acting career began back in 2022 when she starred in Netflix’s thrilling series The Midnight Club. Despite this being her first role, Ruth already had a large following on TikTok.
It was reported that before fame she had more than 670,000 followers on her account which she managed to gain during the covid lockdown. She mostly used to post makeup and hair tutorials.
Speaking to Teen Vogue about her TikTok fame, she revealed that her popularity came about “by accident”, saying: “I started it after being laid off as a barber because of COVID. I really enjoyed it, but when it started becoming more like a job, I was like, ‘Life’s too short You don’t have to do it’.”
In The Midnight Club, Ruth played the role of Anya who was the roommate of Ilonka. Her character had a right lower leg amputation due to bone cancer and used a wheelchair for mobility.
The Weford-born actress has gone on to secure other acting jobs since her Netflix debut. She featured in How to Train Your Dragon, playing the character Phlegma the Fierce.
Ruth also played the parts of Juno Usher in The Fall of the House of Usher and Peggy in Small Town, Big Story. Ruth had her right leg amputated follow complications from a football accident when she was 15-years-old.
However, she didn’t actually have it amputated until she was 23. She said: “So, those eight years were operation after operation, and, sometimes they kind of worked for a while, and then I’d end up back on crutches. At that age, you think you’re unstoppable, and it was a lot of having to learn a bit too young that sometimes life doesn’t really work out the way you thought it would. But I wouldn’t change it.
“It made me a really resilient person. I’m thankful for just being able to do simple things like walk around or go on a bike or ride my horse. It kind of teaches you to not take things for granted.”
It’s believed that Ruth is currently single and, despite being on our screens, she tends to keep her personal life private and out of the spotlight.
