One of the stars of “The Celebrity Traitors,” the recent hit UK celebrity edition of the reality television format, has revealed that she has had a second leg amputated below the knee. Actor Ruth Codd, who was one of the first to be murdered on the “The Traitors” spin-off after suspecting British chat show host Jonathan Ross was a traitor, provided her followers an update about her health following the life-changing surgery.
Ruth Codd Opens Up After Surgical Procedure
Speaking on her personal TikTok channel, Codd gave fans an update on her condition after the surgery and explained why she had to have her second leg amputated. Referencing the fact that she originally found fame through her social media content, the actor continued to have a sense of humor about the situation during the video.
“Good news, we’ve had a full-circle moment. I’m back making TikTok content in my parents’ house. Bad news, I can’t do it next to that lovely blue floral wallpaper anymore due to the fact that room is upstairs and I’ve just had my second below-knee amputation, so those facilities aren’t available to me.”
She continued, “There’s a lot to unpack for everyone involved.”
The Actor Previously Revealed Plans For the Surgery
While appearing for an interview on YouTube channel FFTV, Codd spoke about her future plans in terms of improving the quality of her life by having her remaining leg amputated.
“The way I use my crutches means I’m always up on my tippy-toes,” she told host Grace Neutral. “With the second one, it was just the same situation. My quality of life, it’s never going to get any better from this point.”
The actor also revealed that her health issues have made it hard to work over the last 12 months. Yet, she has still managed to appear in “The Celebrity Traitors* and have roles in films like the love-action adaptation of “How To Train Your Dragon.”
“The amount of health problems I’ve had the last year haven’t stopped me doing anything,” she said.
Codd continued, “But I feel like it has hindered me and made my ability to do my job more difficult. I’ve been through it once before, so I think with two prosthetics, I’ll be pretty unstoppable.”
