Last updated 26th May 2022
Gogglebox star Ellie Warner's boyfriend Nat Eddleston was in a serious car accident in March which left him fighting for his life, and viewers have anxiously been waiting to hear about his recovery. Thankfully, Nat has now been seen up and walking for the first time since his accident.
According to Police reports at the time, after being hit by a car while on a night out Nat's injuries included a broken neck and back, and two collapsed lungs. It has since been reported that he suffered a punctured lung and potential brain damage.
Nat has now seen out walking around and shopping in Leeds wearing a head brace that is supporting his neck and head. Reports say this is likely 'a halo brace' which is worn 'following spinal cord injury to keep the head properly aligned so that the injury heals.'
Ellie has been quiet on social media following the accident and took some time away from Gogglebox to be with Nat. In May, she dedicated her 32nd birthday to Headway, a charity that specialises in brain injuries. She wrote on Facebook: 'For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to Headway - the brain injury association.
'I've chosen this charity because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope that you'll consider contributing as a way of celebrating with me.'
To Gogglebox fans' delight, Ellie and her sister Izzi returned to the show earlier this month, and Ellie took to Instagram to write: 'Looking forward to getting back on your screens tonight! Thank you for all the well wishes, we are really grateful that things are getting back to normal.'
Fans were quick to share their joy over the pair returning and continued to wish Nat well, with someone writing: 'Ah fantastic can’t wait to see you again, hasn’t been the same without you ❤️', and another commenting: 'Shocked to see you tonight but Brilliant to see you back on TV tonight hope Nat is getting better.'
Take a look at the current cast of Gogglebox:
Ellie and Izzi Warner
Sisters Ellie and Izzi Warner from Leeds have also become fan favourites after first joining the show in 2015.

In early 2022, Izzi also introduced fans to her brand new puppy called Cookie.
Ellie and Izzi took a break from Gogglebox during season 19, following Ellie's boyfriend Nat being left 'fighting for his life' after he was hit by a car during a night out in Leeds in March. Ellie later revealed on 13th May that her and sister Izzi would be returning to our screens that night, thanking fans for their well wishes.
Ellie and Izzi returned for series 23.
Pete and Sophie
Brother and sister duo Pete and Sophie Sandiford have become one of the most popular castings in Gogglebox history! The funny siblings first joined the cast in 2017.
