RTE viewers have hailed Irish actress and amputee Ruth Codd as a "inspiration" and a "ray of sunshine" as she opened up about her rise to stardom and bullying experience on Tommy Tiernan show tonight.
26-year-old Ruth hails from Ferrycarrig near Wexford town, and she had been working as a make-up artist and then a barber before the pandemic hit and she was forced to move home, and she then began comedic TikTok nun videos. These videos drew the attention of cult horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan, who then casted Ruth in the role of Anya on Netflix's hit series 'The Midnight Club' which aired in October 2022.
The brave Wexford native told Tommy that she broke her leg at the age of 15 while playing football, then when she was 23 and started getting complications in her leg she made the tough decision to get it amputated. Ruth said: "The doctor said for your situation going forward in terms of mobility is to get an amputation. It had been eight years of pain, so I was ready for it."
