Getty ImagesCelebrity Traitors player and actress Ruth Codd has said she is recovering from second leg amputation surgery.
The Irish artist posted on TikTok, saying she was staying with her family after surgery to remove her leg below the knee.
Codd had her first amputation at the age of 23, after injuring her foot playing football as a teenager, saying it led to eight years of complications and pain.
Speaking about her recent surgery, she said: “Good news, we’ve come full circle. I’m back creating TikTok content at my parents’ house. Bad news, I can’t do it upstairs because I just had my second below-the-knee amputation.”
She added: “There’s a lot to unpack for everyone involved.”
The 29-year-old created a following on TikTok, before starring in the Netflix horror series The Midnight Club, her television debut.
Most recently, Celebrity Traitors viewers saw Codd share his suspicions based on fellow actor Jonathan Ross, before he was murdered on the show.
Codd previously spoke about his plans to undergo his final surgery in an interview on YouTube channel FFTV.
“The way I use my crutches means I’m always on my tiptoes,” she told host Grace Neutral.
“With the second one, it was exactly the same situation.
“My quality of life will never improve from now on.”
Codd appeared in a live-action remake of How To Train Your Dragon earlier in 2025.
She played Phlegma the Fierce, a Viking warrior missing part of her leg.
On the occasion of the film’s release, Codd said she was proud to play a “strong and capable” character with a limb difference.
“The amount of health issues I had last year didn’t stop me from doing anything,” she told FFTV.
“But I feel like it hindered me and made my ability to do my job more difficult.
“I’ve been through that once before, so I think with two prosthetics I’ll be pretty unstoppable.”
