Who is Ruth Codd on Celebrity Traitors?
The 29-year-old actor has shot to fame in recent years on some of Netflix’s biggest horror hits. She has had key roles in both The Midnight Club and the Fall of House Usher.

After suffering a leg injury playing football as a teenager, she had her leg amputated at the age of 23.
Is Ruth Codd still on Celebrity Traitors?
The Netflix star was one of the faithfuls. She was ‘murdered’ by the traitors at the start of episode four as part of a double bluff cover for Jonathan Ross.
What has Ruth Codd said about Celebrity Traitors?
Speaking about joining the cast of Celebrity Traitors, Ruth said: “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.
“I think because of the way I dress, everyone thinks that I'm dark and spooky all the time. And because of the parts I play. I'm not really like my roles at all. Well, I'd like to think so, because I normally end up playing really mean people! So, I'd like to think there's no similarity.”
On which role she’d like in the castle, Ruth added: “I'd be happy with either. I'm kind of 50/50. I'm a very indecisive person. I flip flop back and forth.
“I’m not set on one approach. I chopped off my own leg and taught myself to walk again. So, you know, I'm a very adaptable person, if anything.
“Being in situations where you have to kind of think quickly, adjust, that doesn't really phase me so I’m going in with the intention of taking it moment by moment.”
