Ellie Warner has been missing from Gogglebox filming this week as her boyfriend Nat Eddleston remains in intensive care after a horror accident last week.
On Friday night, Nat was hit by a car in the Halton area of Leeds, with it being reported that he was left with severe injuries including a collapsed lung and broken neck. Earlier this week, sources claimed that Nat was in a 'critical but stable condition, ' as Ellie and her other half were inundated with support from family, friends and fans.
Ellie, 31, is said to have been by Nat's side for much of this week and, as a result, has taken a break from Gogglebox filming. Ellie has been on the show with sister Izzi since 2015, with the siblings a huge favourite with viewers, but she isn't expected to feature on Friday's episode.
