Pregnant Gogglebox star Ellie Warner’s hellish year before baby joy
It's been an incredibly tough year for Gogglebox's Ellie Warner.
The 31-year-old TV favourite was forced to take time off the Channel 4 show after her partner Nat Eddleston was hit by a car last year, which left him fighting for his life in hospital.
But luckily for Ellie, things finally look to be on the up as he is recovering from his injurie and they are preparing to become parents for the first time.
We take a look at what life looks like for the couple as Nat focuses on his recovery, and Ellie steps back into the limelight.
Near-death car crash
In March last year, Nat, 31, was struck down by a car as he walked home from a night out in Leeds.
Greggs, Costa & Pret coffees have 'huge differences in caffeine', says reportIt was reported at the time that he was on life support at one point, with his health hanging in the balance.
Ever the supportive partner, Ellie took time off work to care for Nat, and was met with huge support from fans.
In May last year, Nat was doing some shopping with a neck brace.
Thankfully for Ellie, Nat made an incredible recovery and the couple can finally look forward to the future.
To the relief of fans, Ellie recently shared a snap of her and Nat enjoying their Babymoon in Paris as they await the arrival of their little one.
Sharing a photo of the pair in the French capital on Instagram, Ellie wrote: "Ellie and Nat in Paris".
Thrilled to see the couple in high spirits, her followers flocked to the comment section.
"Seems like Nat has made a full recovery from his accident, thank goodness," one wrote.
"Great to see Nat well. Enjoy you three," chimed another.
A third wrote: "Great to see Nat out and about.. x"
'I tricked my sister into giving her baby a stupid name - she had it coming'There was also plenty of speculation over whether Nat was going to pop the question and ask Ellie to marry him.
"Thought there would have been a proposal pic?" asked one fan with a heart-eye emoji.
"Have a fantastic time - is there a proposal on the cards?" another quizzed.
But for the meantime, it looks as though the couple are just enjoying life together, and most likely counting their blessings.
Baby on the way
Ellie and Nat shared the news that they were having their first child together on Boxing Day.
Ellie, who was dressed in a brightly-coloured printed smock dress, placed her hand on her bump and wrote: "Belly full of Christmas Dinner".
Her followers were of course, over the moon for the pair of them.
"Ahhhhh, the secret is officially out, hurrah. Congratulations Ellie and Nat," one wrote.
"Congratulations! Nat is looking well after the accident! Exciting 2023 ahead for you both all the best xx," another added.
And it's double the joy after her sister Katie also fell pregnant at the same time.
Sharing snaps from Katie's baby shower, she wrote in the caption: "Fab day at our lovely Katie's baby shower today. Can't wait for our babies to grow up together."
House renovation
The couple have been working hard to get their house in order for the baby's arrival, and have been very experimental with colours.
She renovated her 1930s home in Leeds and it's a tonic for the senses.
In her living room she has a orange and navy colour scheme, with the house boasting a vintage design.
She has been documenting their interior design skills on their home Instagram account Through My Keyhole.

"Still don’t have a clue what else I’m gonna do in here but I just knew I had to get this out of the way first as it’s such a messy job! I’ve got dust in places I never knew dust could reach", she joked in her caption.
