Celebrity Traitors Stars Follow Strict Alcohol Rules Amid UK Viewing Success

Celebrity Traitors, a BBC reality show filmed at Ardross Castle, features a cast of celebrities living under strict rules, particularly regarding alcohol consumption, which is limited to two drinks per night despite on-screen appearances of more indulgence. Ruth Codd, a star on the show and actress in The Midnight Club, revealed the strict production control and the isolated environment that the cast experienced, including restrictions on mingling and lack of outside communication. Ruth also discussed the social dynamics on the show, noting an unspoken hierarchy that placed her at a disadvantage due to her shorter industry experience, but she formed meaningful bonds with fellow contestants such as Clare Balding and Charlotte Church. The show’s luxurious behind-the-scenes accommodations contrast with the contestants' challenging conditions, including tough food like hard croissants and limited freedom. Ruth was one of the early contestants eliminated by the traitors, including Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr, and Cat Burns, after she openly suspected Jonathan. Despite the pressures and early exit, Ruth reflected positively on the experience, noting personal growth in assertiveness and social connection.
