Ruth Codd has revealed she's had her second leg amputated below the knee, after previously having her right leg amputated when she was 23 years old.

The actress, 29, sustained an injury to her leg while playing football aged 15, which failed to heal correctly leading to multiples surgeries and chronic pain.

Ruth took to her TikTok to let her fans know she'd had the same operation on her left leg six years later, using her typical hilarious humour to deliver the update.

Filming herself from her parent's house, she addressed her followers: 'Hi guys. So, I have some good news and some bad news.

'Good news - we've had a full circle moment. I'm back making TikTok content in my parents' house. Bad news - I can't do it in front of that lovely blue floral wallpaper any more, due to the fact that that room is upstairs.

'I've just had my second below-knee amputation. So, unfortunately, those facilities are not available to me at the current moment in time. So a lot to unpack there for everyone involved.'

While Ruth didn't elaborate on the reason she'd undergone the operation, she panned the camera to show off her new wheelchair, who she's affectionately nicknamed 'Fat Tony'.

She joked: 'This is my new whip! I like to call her Fat Tony. She has the top speed of f*** all, especially if there's a step involved.'

While in the caption, she quipped: 'No legs who dis? #paralympics2026'.

The Irish star was flooded with supportive messages from her fans, causing her to jokily respond: 'Guys stop being nice to me it's weirding me out'.

But others couldn't help but laugh over the fact that the TikTok captions on the video had incorrectly subtitled Ruth saying 'below-knee amputation' as 'bologna amputation'.

Adopting her characteristically witty style, they commented: 'sorry to hear about your second bologna'; 'I am not not cackling at bologna amputation.'; 'In fairness I’ve never liked bologna.' 

While others joked: 'ook babes, we all want a second season of Midnight Club-- but taking the 2nd leg is a bit far'. 

And several followers also joked that her nemesis from Celebrity Traitors, Jonathan Ross, was to blame.

Ruth took part in the first series of the hit show earlier this year, but she ended up being the third contestant to be murdered by The Traitors in the fourth episode.

She was sent packing after she correctly identified Jonathan as a Traitor at the roundtable, causing the chat show host and his accomplices, Alan Carr and Cat Burns, to kill her off.

One fan quipped: 'Presumably we’re blaming Jonathan Ross for this yes? Was the leg traumatised by the promise of an alliance and then removal of said alliance?'

In response to one cheeky comment asking: 'Ruth you gotta tell us which Paralympic event you’re participating in so we can tune in', Ruth quipped back: 'rhythmic gymnastics'. 

Her The Fall of the House of Usher co-star Rahul Kohli, also got in on the fun, writing: 'Excuses, excuses' prompting Ruth to hit back: 'How do I block someone twice?'

Ruth previously explained that as the nerve pain worsened over years, so did her mental health, as her 'whole life revolved around trying to heal my leg'.

She told the Irish Examiner: 'For years, I didn’t see it getting any better. I was stuck in a really bad mindset and I was p****d off at life.'

After repeated failed surgeries, she made the decision to amputate her right leg, saying: 'It took eight years of my life, constantly going in and out of hospital.

'When I made the decision to amputate it, things finally started to turn around. It was a relief. I could get on my life.'

Ruth came to fame after beginning to post on TikTok during the Covid pandemic, making both comedic content and videos focussing on disability awareness.

Through the platform she was discovered by the casting team of the Netflix mystery thriller series The Midnight Club, and was cast to play Anya with no previous acting experience.

She then went on to star as Juno Usher in Netflix horror miniseries, The Fall of the House of Usher, which was released in 2023 to critical acclaim.
