Back at the end of March, Ellie’s boyfriend, Nat, was involved in a horror accident.

Nat, who is in his 30s, had been outside a pub in Leeds after a night out with friends.

He was then struck by a white Seat Leon, which was leaving the city, just after midnight.

Nat was rushed to the hospital and placed in intensive care. A family member revealed the extent of his injuries to The Sun.

“Nat is in intensive care with a broken neck, broken back, two collapsed lungs, and possible brain damage,” they said.

“He is on a life support machine and all the family and Ellie are obviously very worried for him.”

Since the accident, Ellie has, understandably, been taking some time away from the show.

Gogglebox bosses reportedly told the 31-year-old to take as much time off as she needed.

They also reportedly paid her her full fee for the series, despite her not completing it.
