Gogglebox star Ellie Warner revealed she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during the latest episode of the show.
The pregnant star, who is a fan-favourite on the Channel 4 series, took to the couch to watch the week's news and shows.
While watching The Apprentice with her sister Izzi, she made a casual reference to her diabetes while discussing Lord Alan Sugar.
"Alan Sugar is my only sugar fix now I have got gestational diabetes," she joked while watching the BBC series.
