Everything we know now that Ruth Codd, the star of Celebrity Traitors, has confirmed she has had her second leg amputated.
Irish actress Ruth Codd had some news for fans earlier this week as she returned to TikTok. She revealed she has had her second leg amputation – but delivered the news in her usual charming manner.
On her left leg, she had the same procedure as she had on her right. Ruth broke the news to her fans, and she was unable to go upstairs. My second below-knee amputation has just occurred. So, regrettably, I can’t use those amenities,” she said.
At the age of 23, she had her first amputation. When she was 23 years old, her right leg was amputated below the knee because a football accident that occurred when she was 15 failed to heal properly. Years of chronic pain and numerous surgeries were the result of the problem.
She explained that having her leg removed below the knee was necessary for a second amputation in a similar manner. She explained in her TikTok that she had already had all of her toes removed, so she made the decision to have her other leg amputated.
She claimed in an interview that her foot resembled a “little hamburger” and that she had no toes.
Ruth acknowledged that the operation was necessary to improve her quality of life. She received the news after doctors told her that she had made walking more challenging and that her foot was unlikely to ever improve.

George Harrison, who was nicknamed “the quiet Beatle,” gives his account of The Beatles’ ups and downs in the revamped Anthology series for Disney+.

George Harrison tells why The Beatles really split in unseen interview(Image: Getty Images)
He was dubbed ‘the quiet Beatle’ by some, but fans will soon get to hear what George Harrison really thought of the Fab Four, why they split up, and why they still exist in many ways.
Words of wisdom, some unheard before from George, Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney, appear in a new ninth episode of The Beatles Anthology which has been restored and expanded from eight original TV episodes in the Nineties. The trio had worked on the anthology project for around four years and episode nine has unseen footage and interviews from when Paul, Ringo and George got together to make the songs Free As A Bird and Real Love in 1994 with old audio featuring fourth member John Lennon, who died in 1980.
And the new footage effectively means fans have a new interview from George giving his insight into the reunion and the band, and one of the first things he admits is a little sadness that there was one important person missing. “It was interesting to actually get back together,” George says. You may well know that I have feelings for John because, as you may well well know, the Beatles had a lot of positive and negative times. And as everybody knows, you know, when we split up, kind of everybody was a bit fed up with each other.
However, we have had the opportunity to go down the river and under the bridge again and see things differently for Ringo, Paul, and I. I feel a bit sorry that John wasn’t able to do that. He would have really enjoyed having a second chance to join us, in my opinion. We all had enough time to breathe, and now that we are farther away, I find it much simpler.
The reunion saw the three surviving Beatles being interviewed together at George Harrison’s home of Friar Park, whilst they are also seen jamming old rock’n’roll songs. Ringo is steady as ever on drums and relaxed in sunglasses while Paul is grinning from ear to ear. Only George occasionally appears a little more unsure about the situation than George does.
But they still sound great and George admits:” There is a certain harmony. We can easily lock in together. Without much effort, it kind of resembles The Beatles. “Other scenes show them working on the new tracks at Paul McCartney’s home studio with producer Jeff Lynne, and sitting at a mixing desk while George Martin plays them multitrack recordings from the 60s.
Even Paul’s song “You Never Give Me Your Money” is described as cheesy in a George Harrison song, “but Paul doesn’t rise up and keeps on listening.” In another scene, George is reportedly questioned about Paul’s suit’s vegetarian leather jacket and appears to be in good spirits as Ringo bursts into laughter. Paul replies:” Yes it is and the boots are vegetarian”.
He later declares, “Paul and I are going to build some stadiums next year.” I believe we could pull it off by muddle wrestling together. “Ringo adds:” I’ll be the ref. The band’s humor was a constant source of inspiration and a key component of their friendship that first developed when they were formed in 1960.
When asked why they were so successful, George responds, “It was something completely different, even if it was just our attitude.” It’s just some little magic that when you get certain people together, it makes fire or it makes dynamite. I merely wanted to play in the band. I had no idea what I would have done if I hadn’t done this, and I didn’t want a legitimate job. But at the age of 17, I was in Hamburg, and by the time I was 23 we’d done Sgt Pepper. “
In between studio sessions in 1994, George said he didn’t offer to share a room with Ringo because he was the band’s new member. The only person who shared a bed with me, “Ringo jokes,” was Paul.
Paul then remembers the drummer went to bed late and like to sleep with the light on as he was still so young and a bit scared of darkness”. It was a great experience to watch a friend of that interact with him and get to know each other in some ways. “Paul enlarges.
As the band advanced to global fame, there was no longer a need to share rooms or worry about saving money. Love Me Do, the Beatles’ first song, debuted in the UK in 1962 with the release of their third single, From Me To You, which would become their first No. 1 hit. They would end up with 18 number one hits in the UK and 15 number one albums.
The initial UK success sparked Beatlemania and a fanbase of millions making them the most recognisable faces in the world. But the fame was hard on the foursome and so the hits came at a cost. Giving his version of why the band split, George says: “You know, we were so stressed out. We’ve been through every riot and jam. Every city we went to, there was some kind of a jam going on, the noise, people yelling at us all the time and being confined to a little room or a plane or a car, but we never thought about it too much, because it was an ongoing thing.
“It was happening to us, and it was hard to see, you know, we were just in the middle being ushered from room to room. To reduce stress, we all relied on one another. And because we were both born in Liverpool, we always had a laugh as well. But there was a point where, you know, enough was enough. And stress is what I believe was the main factor in The Beatles splitting up, in my opinion. We all just wanted to leave, to bring us some tranquility, you know what that means.
Ringo adds: “It was just crazy times, but great times. I mean, you know, I had a really good time, but it was crazy. We were lucky that there were four of us to take that pressure. Four of us held each other together, and at certain times, you know, each one of us went mad, but the other three could bring us back. I was an only child, and suddenly I had three brothers. We were all really close.
” Everything we did, I feel we did for good, that still relates to today. It always returns to the personalities and the music. You only need love, “
Paul admits he was thought of as” the work fiend “and tried to hold the band together and keep them going the longest.
Ringo says, “We could sit in the garden for longer than you.” Paul responds, “Yes, I know. I like the Beatles. Working with the Beatles is something I enjoy. That is not something I’m ashamed of. It’s what I love in life that, all that making music. “
The band continues and continues to do so despite their separation and incapacity, according to George, who is known for being a spiritual person.
George says, “Looking forward, The Beatles will continue to exist on those records, films, videos, books, and in people’s memories or minds.” The Beatles has just become its own thing now. And, in my opinion, the Beatles wouldn’t exist without them.
The trio perform together at George Harrison’s house as the ninth episode draws to a close. They are messing around chatting and joking and for fans, and them, it seems like it was a time in June 1994 when three of the fab four could reunite with much of the tension of the Seventies split behind them.
Even George makes fun of Paul by saying that he and Paul are touring the stadium, and Paul responds by saying “mud wrestling.” Ringo says, “I’ll be the ref,” in a flash.
As the day ends in the garden filled with sunshine, Ringo says to Paul and George “This has been a really nice day for me chaps. It has been incredibly beautiful and moving. I enjoy hanging out with you two. Paul says: “It’s been a very nice day, thanks for having us George”.
They would reunite for the last time in November 2001, meeting up for lunch in New York as George battled lung cancer and a tumour. He passed away just a few weeks later at the age of 58.

The reunion saw the three surviving Beatles being interviewed together at George Harrison’s home of Friar Park, whilst they are also seen jamming old rock’n’roll songs.

George Harrison even says one mix of Paul’s tracks You Never Give Me Your Money sounds “a bit cheesy” but Paul doesn’t rise to the bait and carries on listening. In another scene George is heard asking Paul if his coat is “vegetarian leather jacket” and seeming in good spirits as Ringo erupts with laughter. Paul replies: “Yes it is and the boots are vegetarian”.
He laters says “Paul and I are gonna do some stadiums next year.” Paul replies: “Mud wrestling together, I think we could pull it off too.” Ringo adds: “I’ll be the ref.” The band’s humour was something they always maintained and was part of a bond that began when they formed in 1960.

Sat around with Paul and Ringo in-between studio sessions in 1994, George also said he didn’t offer to room with Ringo when he first joined the band as he was the newest. “Paul was the only one who’d sleep with me,” Ringo jokes.
Paul then remembers the drummer went to bed late and like to sleep with the light on as he was still so young and a bit scared of darkness. “It was great sort of staying in the room with a friend of that and seeing his habits, you get to know each other a bit that way.” Paul adds.
A few years later there was no longer any need to share rooms or worry about saving money as the band became global stars. The first Beatles song to chart in the UK was Love Me Do in 1962, but it was the following year when their third single, From Me To You, would give them their first Number 1 hit.

And I think that’s really was the major contributor to The Beatles splitting up was stress. We all just wanted out, you know, give us a bit of peace.”
Ringo adds: “It was just crazy times, but great times. I mean, you know, I had a really good time, but it was crazy. We were lucky that there were four of us to take that pressure.

George, known for being a spiritual man, also tells the cameras the band continue – and still do now – even though they are no longer together or able to play live.
Looking to the future George says: The Beatles, you know, will go on and on, on those records and films and videos and books and in people’s memories or minds. The Beatles has just become its own thing now. And the Beatles, I think, exist without us.”
The ninth episode ends with the trio sat outside singing together at George Harrison’s house.

Meghan Markle’s representative has furiously refuted unfounded claims that she unlawfully removed a designer gown from a photo shoot.
In 2022, the Duchess of Sussex wore a forest green one-shoulder gown by the designer Galvan for a photoshoot with magazine, Variety.
Now, three years on, eagle-eyed fashion watchers noted that Meghan is wearing the same £1,300 dress in the latest promo for the holiday special of her Netflix show With Love, Meghan. In the promo for her show, which is set to hit Netflix next week, Meghan can be seen in the dress, lighting candles at a table dressed for dinner.

Unsubstantiated rumors claimed that the Duchess had taken the designer piece from the shoot without asking permission after realizing it was the same dress.
However, her spokesperson refuted the rumor, saying that it was “highly defamatory” and “not only categorically false. Any remaining items were kept in complete transparency and according to contractual terms.
In addition, a source told the Express that is is “commonplace and prudent” for items from photoshoots to be kept to avoid people auctioning off garments for large sums of money in the future.
Meghan made another notable magazine appearance just days prior, this time with Harper’s Bazaar. She revealed in the revealing interview that Prince Harry’s “childlike wonder and playfulness” attracted her to him.
Meghan added that having a work-from-home schedule makes her appreciate spending more time with her kids. Meghan shared her feelings for Harry, who she has been dating for nine years, in the magazine’s cover interview, saying, “He loves me so boldly, fully, and he also sees media that I wouldn’t.”
The former Suits actress, 44, said: “No one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he’s always going to make sure that he has my back. You have someone who just has this childlike wonder and playfulness. I was so drawn to that, and he brought that out in me.”
Meanwhile, earlier this week, both Harry and Meghan were seen taking their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on a rare public outing.
In a series of photos posted to her Instagram stories, Meghan and Harry can be seen smiling as they prepared meals at the Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA), a community-run non-profit kitchen that prepares and distributes meals for people in the city experiencing hardship – alongisde their kids, whose faces were hidden.
Meghan’s signature phrase for the images read “show up, do good,” which serves as the mission of the Archewell Foundation. Following the visit, the Archewell Foundation stated that it “continues to put compassion into action by serving and uplifting communities both locally and globally.”

At his home in Whistable, Daniel Postgate was discovered dead.
Everything you need to know about the inquest by BBC TV legend Daniel Postgate
Daniel Postgate, the 61-year-old son of Bagpuss creator Oliver Postgate, was found dead in a shed at his Whitstable home in June. He was the son of BAFTA-winning author Oliver Postgate. He committed suicide just one day after receiving a letter from the NHS regarding his treatment for a rare blood cancer, according to an inquest.
The NHS correspondence also contained a warning that myelodysplastic syndrome, which he had recently received, might return in the future. Despite the positive aspects of the update, Daniel was overjoyed by the worry that his illness would eventually not be treated, according to a report from his family.
According to the coroner, Daniel had been suffering from underlying depression for close to 40 years and had recently broken up with his 35-year-partner. His brother, Simon, described their final call as “chatty and relaxed.”
His family left a heartbreaking suicide note for them that he wrote “wonderful lives” and urged them to “remember to love each other” on the note. At the scene, the note was discovered.
According to the coroner, Daniel committed suicide because he didn’t want to go through with additional medical care. Although the specific “why” is difficult to answer, the evidence clearly indicated his desire to avoid experiencing his illness return.
