Speaking on the experience in an interview, Ruth said, “My injury is the greatest challenge I’ve faced in my life so far. I injured it playing soccer at the age of 15. It never healed correctly, so until I was 23, I was on and off crutches, getting loads of operations. Because of nerve damage and chronic pain, I chose to get it amputated. It took eight years of my life, constantly going in and out of hospital.”
She explained, “My whole life revolved around trying to heal my leg. For years, I didn’t see it getting any better. I was stuck in a really bad mindset, and I was pissed off at life. 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 on joining Celebrity Traitors
On her decision to join Celebrity Traitors, Ruth said, “I’m questioning everything now! I’ve never done anything like this before. I watched the show, and I just thought it’d be really good fun.”
She added, “I think because of the way I dress, everyone thinks that I’m dark and spooky all the time. And because of the parts I play. I’m not really like my roles at all. Well, I’d like to think so, because I normally end up playing really mean people! So, I’d like to think there’s no similarity.”
Does Ruth want to be a Faithful or Traitor?
So what team will Ruth end up on? For now she remains as Faithful, though as we know all too well there’s still everything to play for, with the actor saying “I’d be happy with either. I’m kind of 50/50. I’m a very indecisive person. I flip flop back and forth.”
