Episode 260

Ruth Ellis didn’t just make history—she became it. The last woman to be executed in Britain, her name is forever tied to a single gunshot on a London street. But that moment is only the surface.

Behind it lies a life of glamour and danger: smoky nightclubs, powerful men, volatile relationships—and a past marked by instability and quiet desperation. How does someone go from chasing a better life to standing at the centre of one of Britain’s most infamous cases?

This short history pulls you into the story behind the headlines—where charm, control, love, and violence collide—and where the truth is far more unsettling than the myth.
