Jonathan Ross hasn’t exactly made himself popular in the Celebrity Traitors castle.
The talk show host has spent the last few weeks manipulating and murdering his fellow celebs in the name of charity.
However, one particular murder may have earned the 64-year-old the enmity of an up-and-coming star.
According to reports, Ruth Codd, 29, was genuinely angry to be killed so early in the competition and branded Wossy a ‘snake’ when she learned he was a Traitor.
‘Ruth was furious after she was murdered during the early stages of filming,’ a source told The Daily Mail.
‘She called Jonathan a “f***ing snake” and really let go of her anger behind the scenes.’
The source explained that her anger was born of frustration that her co-stars refused to listen to her suspicions about Jonathan, whom she had correctly identified as a Traitor.

‘Ruth felt that not many of the celebrities were following their own instincts and minds, which meant the game wasn’t always played properly,’ they continued.
‘It was a shame for her to be murdered so early in the competition when she had a lot more to give.’
Metro has reached out to Ruth Codd’s representatives for comment, while the BBC declined to comment.
The news comes just a few days after Ruth told The Sunday Times that the castle has a secret pecking order that viewers aren’t aware of.
‘There was probably an unspoken hierarchy in there,’ she said. ‘That placed certain people like myself at a disadvantage, because I haven’t been in the industry very long.’
Ruth became the fifth celeb to leave Traitor’s castle, and after her exit she admitted she ‘knew [her death] was coming’.
‘I was murdered definitely because I was a threat to the Traitors. I was one of the few people in the group who had my own mind.’
While Ruth’s time in the castle was brief, Jonathan has surprised everyone and made it through to week seven despite several celebs mentioning his name at the roundtable.
