Gogglebox favourite Ellie Warner has announced she is expecting her first baby with long-term boyfriend Nat Eddleston, in a heart-warming moment that left both viewers and her family emotional.
The Channel 4 star shared the joyful news during a recent episode of Gogglebox, where she revealed her pregnancy to her sister Izzi Warner in a surprise on-screen announcement. Holding up an ultrasound scan, Ellie excitedly confirmed she is set to become a mum for the first time, prompting tears, laughter and an outpouring of congratulations from fans.
Ellie joked that the scan photo “looks like a jellied alien,” keeping the moment light-hearted, but the emotional significance of the announcement was clear to viewers at home. The news marks a hugely positive milestone for Ellie and her partner Nat, especially after the incredibly difficult period they endured following Nat’s near-fatal accident.
Ellie Warner and Nat’s Emotional Journey
Ellie Warner and Nat Eddleston have been together for several years, with their relationship put under extreme pressure in 2022 when Nat was seriously injured in a hit-and-run collision. He suffered life-threatening injuries including a broken neck, collapsed lungs and severe spinal damage, leaving him in intensive care and requiring months of rehabilitation.
During that time, Ellie temporarily stepped back from Gogglebox to care for Nat, regularly updating fans on his slow but determined recovery. Many viewers praised her strength and devotion as she supported him through one of the toughest periods of their lives.
Now, the pregnancy news has been described by fans as a “full-circle moment” for the couple — a joyful new chapter after months of fear and uncertainty.
