GOGGLEBOX star Ellie Warner has kept vigil at the side of her seriously ill boyfriend and has told pals how her heart is “ripped in two”.
The 31-year-old’s partner Nat Eddleston was injured in a horrifying hit and run two weeks ago that has left him fighting for his life.
The Celeb Report Online revealed last night that Ellie, from Leeds, hasn’t been seen on the popular Channel 4 show for two weeks.
Now sources say she is unlikely to return soon and is devoting every spare second to supporting Nat and her family.
“Ellie has barely left Nat’s side since the accident. She has been holding his hand and willing him to get better,” a pal explained.
“Her heart is totally ripped in two by all of this and she is still in a state of shock about how things have ended up.

“Right now all that Ellie is focusing on is making sure she is there for Nat. Nothing else matters.”
We told night how the Leeds lass hasn’t been seen on the Channel 4 reality show as she continues dealing with the aftermath of the incident.
The popular reality star and sister Izzi are being supported by show bosses and told to take all the time they need.
A source said: “Channel 4 take duty of care really seriously.
“Obviously Ellie and Izzi are two of the most loved regulars on the show but it wouldn’t be right for them to have to film a light hearted show when Nat is in such a critical condition.
“Producers have made it clear there is no pressure to return to filming and they can take all the time they need.”
On Friday March 18 Nat was rushed to intensive care after he was hit by a car in Halton, Leeds while walking home in the early hours.
A family member confirmed he had suffered a broken neck and back as well as two collapsed lungs.
They added he was also initially placed on a life support machine.
In a short statement, West Yorkshire Police confirmed: “The pedestrian remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital and enquiries into the incident are ongoing”.
Speaking shortly after the incident, a source told The Celeb Report: “Ellie is understandably in pieces and everyone is just hoping and praying Nat comes through this.
“Nat is Ellie’s absolute world. She has been totally overwhelmed with messages of love and support.”
The insider continued: “She has barely left the hospital since this happened and Nat is getting brilliant care and treatment.

“At the moment they are living hour by hour and just praying that things get better.”
Ellie and Izzi first appeared on Gogglebox in 2015 after Ellie was approached by a friend who worked on casting for the show.
