Ruth Codd’s is best known for her Netflix career but has now turned her hand at reality TV as she takes part in the first UK series of Celebrity Traitors. She has proved that she is no wallflower on the show as she hunts down the traitors and has been spot on with one of her guesses.

The Irish star is currently a Faithful on the show but is determined to work out who the three traitors are. Her guesses have been correct so far as, most recently, she has been accusing chat show host Jonathan Ross of backstabbing his teammates.

Wednesday night’s episode saw Ruth declaring that she thinks she has put a “target” on her back as she pounced on Jonathan at the second roundtable. Here’s what we know about outspoken Ruth away from Celebrity Traitors.

Ruth’s professional acting career began back in 2022 when she starred in Netflix’s thrilling series The Midnight Club. Despite this being her first role, Ruth already had a large following on TikTok.

It was reported that before fame she had more than 670,000 followers on her account which she managed to gain during the covid lockdown. She mostly used to post makeup and hair tutorials.

Speaking to Teen Vogue about her TikTok fame, she revealed that her popularity came about “by accident”, saying: “I started it after being laid off as a barber because of COVID. I really enjoyed it, but when it started becoming more like a job, I was like, ‘Life’s too short You don’t have to do it’.”

In The Midnight Club, Ruth played the role of Anya who was the roommate of Ilonka. Her character had a right lower leg amputation due to bone cancer and used a wheelchair for mobility.

The Weford-born actress has gone on to secure other acting jobs since her Netflix debut. She featured in How to Train Your Dragon, playing the character Phlegma the Fierce.

Ruth also played the parts of Juno Usher in The Fall of the House of Usher and Peggy in Small Town, Big Story. Ruth had her right leg amputated follow complications from a football accident when she was 15-years-old.

However, she didn’t actually have it amputated until she was 23. She said: “So, those eight years were operation after operation, and, sometimes they kind of worked for a while, and then I’d end up back on crutches. At that age, you think you’re unstoppable, and it was a lot of having to learn a bit too young that sometimes life doesn’t really work out the way you thought it would. But I wouldn’t change it.

“It made me a really resilient person. I’m thankful for just being able to do simple things like walk around or go on a bike or ride my horse. It kind of teaches you to not take things for granted.”

It’s believed that Ruth is currently single and, despite being on our screens, she tends to keep her personal life private and out of the spotlight.

Following reports that Prince Harry and Meghan’s deal with streaming giant Netflix has been ‘downgraded’, the Duchess has revealed the real state of affairs during a sit-down

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has finally addressed her Netflix deal in a candid sit-down chat.

It’s been a packed few weeks for the former royal, who popped up at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week before receiving an award alongside her husband, Prince Harry. However, her most recent outing saw her dive into a series of topics, including the changing deal terms with streaming giant Netflix, which the couple has worked with since 2020, when they stepped back as working royals.

The multi-year deal was one of a series of high-profile business ventures that they created as they began to fund their own lifestyle.

It was reported at the time to be worth £75 million, and their offerings for the streaming giant included their self-titled documentary series, which covered their love story and royal exit, Meghan’s lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, and Polo – a documentary series looking at the world of the elite sport and the lives of some players.

Not all of Meghan and Harry’s productions with Netflix have been well received, with even their bombshell documentary that broke viewing records accused by some critics of retreading old ground.

This year, it was announced that the couple had signed a new, more flexible deal with Netflix, which gave the company a ‘first look’ option on any of the couple’s ideas, with the Sussexes then able to take these elsewhere if the streaming giant passed on them. This was, by many critics and commentators, seen as something of a “downgrade” by one PR expert, after some of the lacklustre offerings from Harry and Meghan had struggled to appeal to a wide audience or receive rave reviews across the board.

However, during a sit-down with Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit 2025, Meghan explained to Alyson Shontell, Editor-in-Chief and Chief Content Officer for Fortune, the details of the couple’s ongoing working relationship with Netflix, providing a more positive outlook than some had assumed.

“My husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix, and then not just similar to Higher Ground in the Obamas’ deal, once that had come to its term, the extension of it, which was such an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership, was now being in a first-look deal,” Meghan explained.

“Which is also exciting, because it gives us flexibility to go to our partners first, and then at the same time, to be able to shop content that might not be the right fit for Netflix, but has a home somewhere else.”

The Duchess also said she was “grateful” for the “creative partnership” she has with Netflix, who work with her in conjunction on her As Ever lifestyle brand.

Despite Meghan’s positivity about the new chapter with the streaming platform, PR expert Mark Borkowski previously said he believed the first-look deal to be a “downgrade” for the couple, explaining that Netflix had, in his view, “done a very neat job of pivoting away from two very expensive people who didn’t deliver”.

Meghan and Harry also inked major deals with Penguin Random House – which published Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare – and Spotify back in 2020, the latter of which was estimated to be worth £18 million.

By now it’s no secret that her Highland looks are the star of the show, and fans regularly flock to stylist Sinead McKeefry’s Instagram account after the show to find out where they can shop her looks.

This time round it was Claudia’s red tartan trousers that had everyone talking, with one saying: “Highland gothic punk perfection… adding tartan trousers to my basket” whilst another agreed: “LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The tartan.” A third joked: “Entire country Googling tartan trousers.”

Sadly Claudia’s exact pair of tartan trousers hailed from last year’s Alexander McQueen collection and have since sold out. However if you were hoping to add a pair of Claudia-inspired tartan trousers to your autumn wardrobe, don’t despair, because we’ve found three great alternatives you can still shop – and definitely won’t cost as much as her McQueen pair.

House of Bruar Cropped Tartan Trousers – £129.95

Come in sizes 10 to 20, House of Bruar’s tartan trousers are a great alternative to Claudia’s sold out pair and come in four different coloured tartans. They’re cut in a modern, form-flattering silhouette, featuring a cropped length and tapered leg, and a high waist with a double button waistband. The trousers are made from pure new wool which makes them warm to wear throughout autumn and winter, and are woven in a traditional Scottish way.

Boden Pleated Wool Culottes – £159

You’ll need to be quick if you want to grab this Boden pair as they’re already “selling like hotcakes” with a couple of sizes already sold out. You can save 15% on them when you use the code WXVK, and have a wider leg cut compared to Claudia’s slim-fitting trousers. They do however have the most similar tartan print, and are made from a wool-blend that keeps them warm and cosy whilst being easy to care for.

Joe Browns Vivienne Check Trousers – £50

If you want a slimmer fitting pair like Claudia’s, these skinny fit tartan trousers from Joe Browns are the perfect pick. With a red and black tartan print they’re the perfect combination of edgy and country chic – Claudia’s staple Traitors style – and are made from a soft stretchy fabric that keeps them comfortable all day long. Zipped pockets add some extra grunge, and they’re the perfect style for wearing with some chunky boots and an oversized knit.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter, North West, accused her of ‘pretending to be okay’ with her single status and encouraged her to get a new boyfriend

Kim Kardashian revealed her daughter has encouraged her to ‘move on’ from ex-husband Kanye West after noticing she was ‘pretending to be okay’. The 44-year-old socialite and Kanye, 48, tied the knot in 2014, but their marriage soon crumbled and she filed for divorce seven years later, citing irreconcilable differences..

The former couple, who share North, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six, went through many ups and downs over the years, with Ye hitting out at the mother of his children multiple times on social media. Kim has mainly remained silent on her family affairs, but recently broke her silence in an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

Speaking to host Alex Cooper, Kim said her 12-year-old daughter encouraged her to get a boyfriend.

Kim said her daughter told her she was ‘pretending’ to be okay about being single and told her: “I think you go upstairs and cry at night.”

North reportedly also told her: “It’s time to move on. You need to have a boyfriend now.”

However, Kim insists she doesn’t want to be in another relationship, admitting: “I am single and I feel totally content. I have my kids to raise. I have a life that, like, requires a lot of my attention. And my kids just really need me right now.

“So I don’t know how I would fit something else in. So I’m just not looking.”

Kim touched upon her relationship issues with Kanye, revealing she was first attracted to him due to his intellect. However, their relationship very quickly became strained.

“When someone has like their first mental break, you want to be super supportive and you want to help figure that out and be there for them,” she explained.

“But when someone isn’t willing to make changes that I think would’ve been super healthy and beneficial, it makes it really hard to continue on in a relationship that can be toxic.”

Having children made it difficult for her to leave, and she stayed with the rapper, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016 but later claimed he was misdiagnosed, in hopes he would improve.

When things never improved, she decided to leave and show their kids a ‘good example of setting boundaries’.

“I had to save myself in order to be a better mum for everyone,” Kim admitted. “And I think when everyone’s older they’ll be able to understand it and see that all.”

When asked about what the ‘final straw’ was, she said: “There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with. I didn’t like the talking bad about my kids’ grandmother, aunts – if someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together. You know, airing out a lot of stuff, a lot of personal stuff.”

Nicki Minaj announced she will no longer be releasing her sixth studio album, which she previously stated would drop in March next year

Nicki Minaj announced she’s no longer releasing her new album as she pointed her finger at Jay-Z in a cryptic tweet. The Pound The Alarm rapper initially announced her sixth studio album would be released in March next year, but has since decided to axe the entire project.

In a series of tweets shared with her followers, she wrote: “OK, I’m not going to put out the album anymore. No more music. Hope you’re happy now @sc. Bye, Barbz. Love you for life.” She had tagged Jay-Z’s account, @sc, but didn’t provide any further explanation on the cancellation.

However, hours before the official announcement, she claimed “they” didn’t want her to “put out music”.

“They don’t want me to put out music. Me winning makes them feel like they lost. They’re right. However, it didn’t have to be this way,” she said.

“Lots of ppl part ways in business. They know how successful my next album is going to be. Tried to sign Wayne, Drake, me.” [sic]

Nicki added: “So they keep wanting to take or stop my money simply b/c narcissists believe what you work hard for belongs to them. Fuming b/c they can’t siphon anymore energy, money, blessings, love, grace, joy, PEACE… the culture. No successful tours. Just vibes & payola. CasiNO.” [sic]

Jay-Z owns Roc Nation, which is seemingly what the rapper is referring to when she tags him. She also referenced Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez in multiple tweets.

She had also tweeted: “They came BEGGING the QUEEN for a tour & album & I said NOPE!!!!! LMFAO. Wanted to patch it up. They needed help from the QUEEN & the BARBZ.” [sic]

Her latest feud comes after she locked horns with Cardi B on Twitter/X. The pair have been at loggerheads since the early days of Cardi’s career, but their latest war of words comes after Cardi’s latest album, Am I the Drama? achieved astronomical success and debuted at the top of the charts.

Despite it only being Cardi’s second studio album following her 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy, her second became the best-performing album from a female rap act in history, which clearly angered Nicki.

After a lot of back and forth, they started dragging their children into the mess. Nicki issued an open letter to Cardi’s daughter, Kulture, and even referenced her appearance.

The Mirror have reached out to Jay-Z’s reps for comment.

A day out at Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park left two YouTubers stunned and they soon shared their thoughts on the £11.95-a -day Gloucestershire family attraction

View 4 Images

Adam Henson came close to losing his family farm in 2001 when the Foot and Mouth epidemic virtually destroyed his business. But the offer of a job on the BBC’s Countryfile helped save his bacon and, 25 years later, Cotswold Farm Park is a thriving business again.

It welcomes the public for up-close and personal encounters with the livestock as well as rearing the range of rare breeds that Adam’s father became famous for. However, not everyone’s happy, with one TripAdvisor reviewer complaining that she’s been “fleeced at every possible opportunity”.

So Izzy and Matt Stockwell from the Explore Home Repeat YouTube channel set out to discover whether Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park is a ripoff, or a great family day out.

In the end, Matt says, he was left “surprised” by some visitors’ negative reactions, saying that perhaps people had arrived with some serious misconceptions.

Matt and Izzy had timed their two-hour visit to coincide with lambing season – from February to May with a peak around March or April.

Reviewing the site map just inside the farm’s entrance, Matt said: “There’s loads of stuff around – you’ve got Tractor School, the Discovery Barn, an Animal Barn, and a huge great big area for all the animals.

“I can see donkeys, sheep, goats, pigs, cows and there looks to be a good selection of kids’ playgrounds as well so there’s tons to explore.”

The couple – along with baby Sienna – were lucky enough to see two brand new baby lambs which had been born only that morning.

The farm’s attractions are geared very much towards young primary-school age children, with giant trampoline-like “bouncy pillows” to play on as well as dozens of farm animals for the kids to feed and stroke.

There’s an educational element to the activities too, Matt points out, with “loads of information sort of going through the whole process of lambing – explaining the different stages and how they keep them in these pens”.

While the Stockwell family did manage to see the twin baby lambs, little Sienna was much more impressed with the pygmy goats in the Discovery Barn.

There’s a lot to do for young animal-lovers. “They’ve got areas where you can stroke the animals and there’s a giant rabbit here you can just sit there and stroke,” Matt said. “He seems very chilled out about being stroked because he’s just fast asleep.”

While some visitors have complained that prices in the farm’s cafeteria are a little on the high side, with a cup of juice costing £3, Matt pointed out that there’s provision to sit at tables and enjoy a home-made picnic too.
