The inaugural season of Celebrity Traitors came to a thrilling close on Thursday, November 6, with comedian Alan Carr emerging as the cunning mastermind and ultimate Traitor. Against all odds, he claimed victory—and if that spoils it for you, well, tough luck (channeling our inner Linda Rands). You’ve had plenty of time to catch up.
As we bid a bittersweet farewell to this star-studded spin-off of the beloved show, we’re left with unforgettable moments, viral memes, and a flood of post-show confessions from the celebs now free from their ironclad NDAs. Among them, Faithful contestant Ruth Codd has been dishing out the juiciest tidbits, from her unfiltered opinions on fellow players to wild behind-the-scenes scoops—including her own cheeky rule-breaking antics.
Ruth’s journey ended abruptly in episode four when she was dramatically “murdered” by the Traitors, thanks to Jonathan Ross spotting her as a growing threat. Her bold accusation against him sealed her fate, as Jonathan—secretly a Traitor—saw her sharp instincts as a danger to their scheming alliance. But Ruth’s revelations didn’t stop with her exit; they’ve only amplified the drama long after the castle doors slammed shut.
Fresh off Alan’s win, where he scooped up an impressive £87,500 for charity, Ruth unleashed a bombshell on her Instagram Stories that had fans gasping. Turns out, Alan’s prize pot might be a tad lighter than expected. With a sly grin, Ruth confessed to nabbing one of those gleaming gold coins—the ones Claudia Winkleman dramatically poses with in promo shots, symbolizing the full jackpot. Posting a group snap of the celebs departing the finale (scored to the epic Law & Order theme), she tagged Alan’s handle @chattyman and spilled: “You actually have about 50 quid less than you thought for charity because I stole one of those gold coins at the first round table.”
But wait, there’s more mischief! Ruth didn’t stop at the coin; she also admitted to swiping a quirky ceramic fish from the castle’s decor. Her thieving spree, however, hit a snag when production caught wind of it. “They chased me down to get them back!” she quipped in another Story, set to Britney Spears’ Criminal. Ruth joked about “alleged video evidence” that busted her, forcing her to reluctantly return both pilfered treasures. Absolute queen behavior—who else could turn a heist fail into such entertaining content?
Ruth’s trailblazing spirit shines through, especially since she “took the bait” in more ways than one (pun very much intended with that fish). Beyond the laughs, she’s opened up about the game’s darker undercurrents, revealing a “secret hierarchy” among the contestants that stacked the odds against her. As one of the lesser-known stars in a sea of industry heavyweights, Ruth felt disadvantaged by this unspoken pecking order, which she believes played a role in her early targeting and elimination. Her strong-willed nature made her a prime suspect, but the off-camera dynamics added an extra layer of intrigue to her swift downfall.
In the end, Celebrity Traitors delivered non-stop twists, and Ruth Codd’s post-show antics have kept the buzz alive. From stolen souvenirs to exposed hierarchies, she’s proven that the real drama often unfolds off-screen. Here’s hoping for more seasons—and more confessions!
