Actress and reality television star Ruth Codd has shared significant personal news, revealing she has undergone a second leg amputation.
A Difficult Journey
Her first amputation occurred when she was just 23 years old, a consequence of a football injury she sustained at the age of 15 that, tragically, never healed correctly. The recent procedure marks another challenging chapter in her long-standing health journey.
Recovery with Humour
Codd chose to announce the news directly to her fans on the social media platform TikTok. Demonstrating her characteristic resilience and wit, she shared that she is now recuperating at her parents' home. In a light-hearted moment, she introduced her followers to her new wheelchair, which she has affectionately nicknamed "Fat Tony".
The Irish performer rose to national prominence in the UK as a contestant on the BBC show, The Celebrity Traitors. On the programme, she was the second contestant to be "murdered" by the traitors, a group that included Jonathan Ross, Cat Burns, and Alan Carr.
A Thriving Acting Career
Beyond her reality TV fame, Codd has built an impressive acting portfolio. Her credits include major roles in hit Netflix series such as The Midnight Club and The Fall Of The House Of Usher. Her career began unexpectedly on TikTok during the Covid-19 pandemic, showcasing her talent and leading to these prominent television roles.
