Gogglebox star Ellie Warner has announced she is pregnant with her first child during last night’s Gogglebox episode. The shock reveal saw Ellie tell viewers she is expecting a baby with long-term boyfriend Nat Eddleston, who was fighting for his life following a horror car crash earlier this year.

Gogglebox fans watched as the 31-year-old hairdresser from Leeds joyfully showed her ultrasound picture to her sister Izzie as she revealed the news to viewers. Ellie joked: "I went for a scan on Saturday. It looks like a jellied alien!

"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."

The news comes just months after Ellie’s partner, Nat, was left fighting for his life after being hit by a car in March this year. Nat was left needing treatment in intensive care after suffering from a broken neck and back, and both lungs collapsing as a result of his injuries. Ellie and her sister Izzi briefly left the Channel 4 show while they supported Nat in the hospital, but as his condition improved, the pair returned to screens in May.
