Bad news, I can’t do it in front of 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, unfortunately, those facilities are not available to me at the current moment in time.”“A lot to unpack there for everyone involved,” Ruth remarked.She also introduced her new wheelchair, which she revealed she has christened “Fat Tony”, joking that it “has the top speed of fuck all per hour, especially if there’s a step involved”.@ruthcoddsnotdeadNo legs who dis? #paralympics2026♬ original sound - ruthcoddsnotdeadAfter initially finding an audience on TikTok during the Covid pandemic, Ruth came to be cast in the Netflix series The Midnight Club and The Fall Of The House Of Usher.More recently, Ruth has appeared in the live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon and, of course, the inaugural series of The Celebrity Traitors, which aired on the BBC earlier this month.Ruth made a big impression on viewers from her first appearance, but ultimately became the third “Faithful” to be “murdered” on the series, after she came close to rumbling Jonathan Ross as a “Traitor”.MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS:Elton John Opens Up About Devastating Sight Loss StrugglesKaty Perry Sets The Record Straight After Latest Music Video Sparks AI SpeculationNetflix Announces Details Of New Diddy Documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning
