Ruth on The Traitors (specifically The Celebrity Traitors spin-off) is Irish actress and content creator Ruth Codd , who appears on the BBC’s celebrity edition as one of the Faithful contestants rather than a Traitor.

Who Ruth Is

  • Ruth Codd is a 29‑year‑old Irish actor who first became well known on TikTok before moving into TV acting.
  • She has starred in Netflix projects such as The Midnight Club and The Fall of the House of Usher , as well as other series like Small Town, Big Story and The Dry.

Ruth on The Celebrity Traitors

  • Ruth was cast in the first series of The Celebrity Traitors for BBC One, playing as herself in the Faithful role rather than as one of the secret Traitors.
  • In the game, she became known among viewers for strongly arguing her suspicions about fellow contestant Jonathan Ross, and she was ultimately “murdered” (eliminated) by the Traitors in the fourth episode.

Background and Personal Story

  • Ruth had a leg amputated as a teenager and later underwent a second leg amputation as an adult, which she has spoken about openly in interviews and social media, using dark humor and honesty to talk about disability.
  • She often says she wants people to be less afraid to talk about disability, even if she is hesitant to formally label herself an “advocate,” preferring to present it as simply living her life.

Why She Joined The Celebrity Traitors

  • Ruth has described herself as a big fan of The Traitors who thought taking part in the celebrity version would be fun, even though she admitted she was anxious and “second‑guessing everything” going into such a psychological game.
  • She has said she is adaptable and planned to take the game “moment by moment,” joking that after chopping off her own leg and learning to walk again, she can handle high‑pressure situations and quick thinking.

How Fans Are Reacting

  • On The Traitors fan forums, Ruth is often praised for being entertaining, persistent in her suspicions, and bringing memorable one‑liners, even when some viewers think her arguments are a bit flawed or intense.
  • Discussions also highlight that it is her first major unscripted reality‑competition appearance (after a previous celebrity cooking show), and many fans frame her confrontations as part of the heightened, compressed environment of the game rather than personal malice.
