Gogglebox star Ellie Warner was positively glowing as she revealed her baby bump in a rare photo with boyfriend Nat Eddleston.
The reality star, 31, announced the exciting news of her pregnancy earlier in December during a shock on-air announcement in an episode of the Channel 4 series.
It’s Ellie’s first baby with boyfriend Nat, who was left fighting for his life following a car crash earlier this year, prompting her to take a break from the show.
After taking some time off to enjoy Christmas, Ellie returned to Instagram on Boxing Day with a photo of her cradling her baby bump in a snazzy colourful dress, while posing alongside Nat who smiled as he pointed to her stomach.
‘Belly full of Christmas dinner,’ Ellie captioned the post.
It’s the first time since announcing her pregnancy that Ellie, who works as a hairdresser, has been pictured with Nat.
She revealed the bombshell news in a recent episode of Gogglebox, where she spoke to her sister Izzi Warner about going for an ultrasound to check up on her baby.
On the programme, Ellie said: ‘So I went for a scan on Saturday,’ remarking to Izzi, 29, that she thought the baby looked like a ‘jelly alien’.
‘When I showed mum the picture, she went, “Oh, can I take a picture?”‘ Ellie recalled. ‘You didn’t even look at it for two minutes.’
‘I did!’ Izzi retorted, before adding: ‘I’ll stare at it a bit longer just to make you happy.’
It has been an otherwise challenging year for the couple after Nat suffered serious injuries after being hit by a car in Leeds last May.
Nat, 31, suffered a broken neck and back as well as two collapsed lungs leaving him in intensive care, and it was originally feared he may have suffered brain damage as a result of the crash, but appears to have made a full recovery.
