Gogglebox star Izzi Warner has paid a sweet tribute to her sister who is currently facing some pregnancy struggles.
Ellie is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend Nat Eddleston which she announced during an episode of the popular Channel 4 programme in December. The joyous news came after Nat suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car in Leeds in spring last year.
According to family members, Nat suffered a broken neck, two collapsed lungs, a broken back and suspected brain damage as a result of the collision. He was in intensive care for weeks with Ellie taking time off from filming to be by his side.

This week, the Leeds hairdresser is celebrating her 32nd birthday and her sister Izzi has taken to social media to share an adorable throwback snap. In the picture, the sisters who have starred in Gogglebox since 2016, can be seen as children.
Alongside the photograph, Izzi wrote: "Happy birthday to my sis! @ellie__warner. Hope you’re having the best day…
"Even though you can’t drink, eat sugar or carbs." She added: "Looks like even I didn’t escape the 90s without a bowl cut."
The post was quickly flooded with birthday wishes for Ellie. Former Gogglebox co-star Mica Ven said: "Happy birthday sis. Sending love from Big Meesh & Marky @ellie__warner."
While Lisa Baggs wrote: "Ahhh look at you two! Happy Birthday Ellie! Hope you’ve had the best day x lots of love darling x." Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick also commented: "Happy birthday @ellie__warner have a fabulous day."
Ellie, who said she was expecting a baby boy, previously revealed she was undergoing some pregnancy struggles and had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She shared the news after making a joke about Lord Alan Sugar while watching The Apprentice with her sister during an episode of Gogglebox.
"Alan Sugar is my only sugar fix now I have got gestational diabetes," she said. According to the NHS, gestational diabetes is high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth. It can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but is more common in the second or third trimester.
