A photo Ellie Warner posted of her boyfriend Nat Eddleston has been met with a wave of support after he was left with life threatening injuries in a car accident.
On the same night that Ellie and sister Izzi were watched by millions of viewers on the latest episode of the Channel 4 show's new series, Nat was hit by a car in Leeds on Friday night and is said to have suffered a broken neck and collapsed lung as a result.
Nat, who like Ellie is in his 30s, was reportedly knocked down by a white car shortly after midnight after meeting friends for drinks at a pub in the Halton area of the city. As West Yorkshire police made an appeal for information, The Mirror reported that Nat was in a 'critical but stable' condition in hospital.
