Ruth Codd, an Irish actress, gained fame through unconventional means and landed significant acting roles before appearing on the first series of Celebrity Traitors. In this BBC show, she aims to secure £100,000 for her selected charity. During the recent episode, Ruth accused Jonathan Ross of treachery, a claim that turned out to be accurate. However, she expressed concerns about being targeted as the next celebrity to be eliminated from the program.
Despite starting her career unconventionally, Ruth garnered attention for her role in the popular Netflix series, The Midnight Club. Prior to her acting debut, Ruth had already amassed a substantial following on TikTok, boasting 670,000 followers. This pre-existing fan base stemmed from her makeup and hair tutorial videos posted during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she was unemployed from her job as a barber.
Ruth’s TikTok content caught the eye of Netflix producers, leading to her casting in The Midnight Club. Her portrayal of characters like Anya in The Midnight Club and Juno Usher in The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix, as well as appearances in Creepshow and ITV’s The Dry, have solidified her presence in the entertainment industry.
In 2024, Ruth participated in E4’s Celebrity Cooking School, securing third place, before transitioning to her first film role in the live adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon. In a life-altering decision, Ruth underwent an amputation below the knee in 2023 due to complications from a severe foot injury sustained while playing football in 2015. Despite facing challenges, Ruth adapted to using a prosthetic leg, emphasizing the relief and newfound freedom it brought her.
