Gogglebox ‘s Ellie Warner has been inundated with support from her co-stars, friends and fans after her boyfriend Nat Eddleston’s car accident.
It was reported on Saturday evening that Ellie’s boyfriend had been hit by a car in the early hours of Saturday morning and sustained serious injuries as a result.
He is said to be in intensive care on a life support machine with a broken neck and collapsed lungs.
A source has now told The Sun that Ellie is “in pieces” and is hoping and praying that Nat pulls through.
They said: “Nat is Ellie’s absolute world. She has been totally overwhelmed with messages of love and support.
“She has barely left the hospital since this happened and Nat is getting brilliant care and treatment.”
The source said that Ellie is “very fearful” that Nat could be brain damaged following the accident in which he was struck by a car while he was on his way home from his local pub in Halton.
A family member previously told The Sun on Sunday that Nat was in intensive care with a broken neck, broken back, two collapsed lungs and possible brain damage.
They said: “He is on a life support machine and all the family and Ellie are obviously worried for him.”
The reports also claimed that the car sustained a smashed windscreen and dented roof after the incident and reportedly continued for 100 yards before stopping.
Nat recently moved in with his girlfriend, who works outside of her TV stints as a hairdresser, after being together for multiple years.
Ellie has been appearing on Gogglebox with her sister Izzi since 2015 and the pair quickly became a favourite on the show.
She has shared countless snaps of herself and Nat, who has appeared on Gogglebox a handful of times, on her Instagram page, from sweet snaps to loving days out.
A snap of Nat on Ellie’s profile from Valentine’s Day has since amassed multiple comments of support following his accident.
Fans have told Ellie that they’re sending love, prayers and positive thoughts to the couple as they hope for a speedy recovery for her partner.
