Gogglebox Ellie Warner's life – second job, glam transformation and sex toy blunder

Gogglebox star Ellie Warner first appeared our screens in 2015 alongside her sister Izzi.

The sisters been delighting viewers of the smash hit Channel 4 show ever since.

Ellie boosts over 426,000 followers on Instagram and has won over fans with her witty sense of humour and unique hairstyles.

The TV star has a separate account for her work as well as her personal profile.

She also has another Instagram page for her three pooches, Mick, Madge and Morris and fourth one to show off her house renovation.

Ellie missed last Friday’s (March 25) episode as her boyfriend Nat fights for his life in hospital following an accident last weekend.

As fans get ready for the latest instalment Gogglebox, Daily Star has taken a look into Ellie’s life.

Second job

It’s thought that the Gogglebox cast members get an allowance of £1,500 per month as well as some takeaways thrown in.

Ellie is pretty open about their lives outside of Gogglebox with the pair having a strong social media presence.

It’s no surprise that outside of the programme, the TV personality is a skilled hairdresser specialising in colouring with eco-friendly products.

The star is based at HIVE hair salon, based in White Cloth Hall, Leeds.

Ellie has a profile on the salon’s website, which reads: “I started my hairdressing career in 2009 at Sassoons in Leeds where I specialised in hair cutting.

“I’d always had a fascination in colouring hair too so when I decided to spread my wings last year, I knew it was time to pick up the tint brush!

“I’m always learning and keeping up to date on the latest products and techniques so I can give my clients their hair goals!

“As a hairdresser I believe you should never stop learning and trying to better yourself so when the opportunity to join Hive arrived I grabbed it with both hands and I’m super excited for what the future holds.”

Hair transformation

Being a hairdresser, Ellie is often changing her locks.

She is known for being a bubbly blonde but she often sports a bold hairstyle.

The TV star logged into her Instagram account in April last year to unveil her new show-stopping new ‘do.

Documenting her appointment in the hot seat, Ellie shared several clips from her trip to the salon.

In the first short snap uploaded to her Instagram Story, the hairdresser posed in front of the mirror with her hair stylist Tom Beresford standing behind her waiting to work his magic.

The Leeds-based armchair critic kept her fans in suspense in her next social media update as she shared a short clip of her faded pink locks covered in foil.

An hour later, Ellie finally revealed her dramatic new hair colour – green with a highlighter yellow root.

She has also dyed her hair pink, blue and multicoloured over the years.

Sex toy ‘blunder’

Gogglebox fans were left baffled after Ellie appeared to wave around a sex toy and place it on her lap during an episode which aired in November last year.

The small, light pink item bore a striking resemblance to a dildo and appeared to be covered in strange little bubbles.

Shocked fans immediately took to Twitter to try and crack the case.

One user wrote: “Why has Ellie from Gogglebox got a dildo on her lap? #Gogglebox”.

While a second asked: “What the heck is on Ellie’s lap #gogglebox”.

A third chimed in, commenting: “Had to look twice at what Ellie was holding on #Gogglebox just now!” and a fourth said: “What’s that pink thing Ellie’s waving? #Gogglebox”.

However, the object seemed to have a much more mundane meaning – as it was likely a dog toy for one of the sisters’ greyhound pups.

Love life

Ellie first mentioned her boyfriend Nat on Gogglebox back in 2018.

The couple moved in together in March last year after being a semi-detached house in Leeds.

Nat took over from Izzi and appeared on Gogglebox alongside Ellie in 2020.

He made his cameo on the show during the coronavirus pandemic.

Lockdown rules prevented households mixing, with bosses being able to film the show by keeping the cast and crew apart.

Viewers were quick to warm to him- so much so some viewers took to Twitter begging bosses to make him a permanent fixture.

Last year, Ellie joked that Nat would be buying a huge jewel for her engagement ring as she paid a visit to the Natural History Museum.

Heartbreaking accident

Ellie”s boyfriend Nat was hit by a car during the early hours of Sunday, March 19.

He sustained severe injuries, including a collapsed lung and broken neck.

West Yorkshire Police have since issued a statement following the tragic incident and an update on Nat’s physical state.

They confirmed: “The pedestrian remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital and enquiries into the incident are ongoing.”

Nat – who is said to be in his thirties – is suffering from suspected brain damage and requires the help of a life support machine following the wake of the accident.

After a night out drinking with his pals in his local pub, a white Seat Leon struck him in Halton, Leeds, while he was on his way home.

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.

Ellie has remained by her partner’s side at the hospital since the accident happened.

The star has since been inundated with supportive messages from fans following the devastating news.

Gogglebox airs Fridays on Channel 4 at 9pm
