Police have given an update about Gogglebox star Ellie Warner's boyfriend Nat Eddleston, after he was left fighting for his life when he was hit by a car during a night out in Leeds on Friday 18th March.

Nat was hit by a moving car during a night out with his friends, with reports suggesting he'd suffered a broken back, neck and two collapsed lungs at the time.

A family member revealed the shock news at the time, revealing Nat was in Intensive Care.

West Yorkshire Police have now said: "The pedestrian remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital and enquiries into the incident are ongoing."

Following the incident, fans of Ellie were quick to rally around the Gogglebox star, with many commenting their well-wishes on a recent photo on Ellie's Instagram page.

One wrote: 'Thoughts & prayers for a full & speedy recovery. 💕🙏🤞💕', with another adding: 'Thinking of you all Ellie ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️ hope Nat makes a fast recovery ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️ it happened 2 mins from us ♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️'. (sic)

A third commented: 'Sending you lots of love and prayers and a speedy recovery stay strong beautiful🌹💕🌹xxx'. (sic)

Nat appeared for a number of episodes with Ellie back in April 2020, when the sisters weren't able to film together due to Coronavirus restrictions.

It was then in 2021 Ellie announced she'd bought a house with Nat, expressing her excitement on Instagram at the time.

She wrote: 'Soon to be our home 🔑 Thank you to everyone who’s followed so far!! We’re looking at exchanging end of May/June time all being well 🤞🏼.

'We’re so lucky the current owners have kept it in immaculate condition so we can move straight in and just do things as we go along! I’m so excited that I’ve more or less kitted the living room out already as that’s gonna be the first room on the list 😆.

'Nat has banned me from looking on Facebook Marketplace 😂😂 but can’t wait to get in and start making this house our home 🏡.' (sic)

Ellie or her sister Izzi are yet to publicly speak about the accident, and it's understood they won't appear on this week's episode of Gogglebox.

Our thoughts are with Nat and his family at this time.
