Goggleboxs Ellie Warner facing uncertain future after boyfriends hit and run

Gogglebox star Ellie Warner is facing an "uncertain future" after her boyfriend was seriously injured in a hit-and-run in Leeds.

Nat Eddleston was on a night out with friends on March 18 when he was struck by a white Seat Leon in Halton.

He left fighting for his life after suffering severe injuries including collapsed lungs, a broken neck and suspected brain damage.

The 32-year-old is said to be in intensive care on a life support machine.

While long-term girlfriend Ellie has not yet publicly commented on his injuries, the Leeds hairdresser recently asked friends and family to donate to brain injury association Headway for her birthday.

The charity's deputy chief executive, Luke Griggs, told The Sun that they would be offering their support to the 31-year-old.

"The thoughts of everyone at Headway are with Nat and Ellie, as well as their family and friends," said Mr Griggs.

"We understand the pain and anguish of sitting by the hospital bedside of a loved one following a brain injury. Often the concern around their current condition is compounded by uncertainty over what the future may hold.

"We are extremely grateful that Ellie is supporting the charity in this way, but more importantly we want to ensure she avails herself of the support we provide to families and partners, as well as brain injury survivors.

"The immediate aftermath of a brain injury can be a daunting and frightening place and we want to ensure nobody has to face it alone."

Ellie, who joined Gogglebox with her sister Izzi in 2015, is unlikely to return to the Channel 4 show anytime soon.

Bosses have told her to take as much time off as she needs and will also pay her the £1,500 show fee in full to put her mind at rest about money amid the ongoing circumstances.

Ellie was recently spotted being comforted by friends at a Wetherspoons pub, the first time she had been seen publicly since the accident.

Enquiries into the accident remain "ongoing", West Yorkshire Police said in their latest statement.
