Gogglebox's Ellie Warner has revealed she's set to become a mum for the first time.
During Friday night's instalment of the hit Channel 4 programme, Ellie announced she is expecting a baby with boyfriend Nat Eddleston after a tough year which saw her partner fighting for his life following a horror car crash.
And it was an exciting show all round for fans as Pete Sandiford also revealed his wife Paige Yeomans is pregnant with their second child.
Viewers watched as hairdresser Ellie spilled her pregnancy news as she turned to her sister Izzie to share a snap of her ultrasound scan.
"I went for a scan on Saturday," she said while showing a picture taken from the scan of her child, before both sisters chuckled as Ellie said: "It looks like a jellied alien!"
Ellie continued: "When I showed mum the picture she said 'Oh can I take a picture' and you didn't even look at it for two minutes," to which Izzie responded: "I did! I told you where the things were, I'll stare at it a bit longer just to make you happy."
Fans couldn't help but jump for joy as they took to social media to congratulate Ellie, with one writing: "Hang on a minute is @ellieandizzi Ellie pregnant #Gogglebox. Well, congrats to you and Nat xx."
"ELLIE'S HAVING A BABY?! #Gogglebox," typed another.
Before a third commented: "Congratulations Ellie xx #Gogglebox."
"Congrats Ellie! #gogglebox," tweeted a fourth.
It appears that Ellie and Nat's relationship is going from strength to strength after she hinted she wanted to marry her boyfriend of three years in a recent episode of Gogglebox.
"After we went to see Westlife the other night, I decided I want Flying Without Wings to be my first dance at our wedding. Me and Nat," she revealed – much to Izzi's shock.
The news is certainly set to thrill Ellie and her partner Nat who was left fighting for his life after a traumatic accident when he was hit by a car in March this year.
Nat was left needing treatment in intensive care after suffering from a broken neck, back and both his lungs collapsing as a result of his injuries.
After being admitted to the hospital, he was placed on life support with those closest to him initially fearing the worst but he was later discharged after making a full recovery.
Following the terrifying ordeal, both Ellie and Izzi went on hiatus from the Channel 4 show with the hairdresser being at the side of her partner during his recovery.
As Nat's condition continued to improve, Ellie and Izzi returned to the programme back in May, with Ellie speaking to Nat over the phone during a short clip which aired.
Meanwhile, Pete told viewers his wife Paige was pregnant with her second child.
In an adorable clip from Friday night's show, Pete told his son, Jimmy, that he is set to become a big brother.
"Jimbers, you're going to have a little brother or sister coming. You're going to have to milk it," the TV star quipped.
Pete's sister and Gogglebox co-star, Sophie, who was holding her nephew on her knee, added: "You’re going to be a big brother."
Paige is an emergency services call handler with a degree in English and linguistics from Queen Mary University of London.
Pete revealed he had a girlfriend in 2020, uploading a picture to social media and saying: "My Mrs and best mate what more could I ask for, don’t worry @sophiesandiford1 you are a close second best friend. This was taken last year FYI."
Their engagement was revealed in February 2021, when Sophie asked Pete about his engagement and if he felt different.
Pete said: "Yeah, I think... I feel like an even bigger responsibility. I don't know why. I'm going to have a wife."
They later married in May 2021, despite a first date Pete described as "awkward".
He told OK!: "We were in this bar in London and I bought this bloke a beer, which in London people never seem to buy anyone else a drink. So he was like my best friend didn't leave us alone so he was with us for the whole date."
The couple are already proud parents to baby boy, Jimmy, who "takes after his mum".
