Gogglebox star Ellie Warner's boyfriend was left severely injured and admitted to intensive care last month - after he was hit by a car in Leeds during a night out. Police have now issued an update on the case.
Nat Eddleston was reportedly knocked down by a white car shortly after midnight on Friday, March 18, after meeting friends for drinks at a pub in the Halton area of Leeds. The boyfriend of 31-year-old Gogglebox sister Ellie Warner, police stated last month that Nat 'remains in a critical but stable condition' after he reportedly suffered a broken neck and two collapsed lungs during the incident, reported the Mirror Online.
On Thursday, West Yorkshire Police confirmed they have spoken to the driver of the car during their ongoing investigation - confirming to The Sun that "the driver was questioned" after the incident.

The update follows an original statement issued at the time, which read: "The pedestrian remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital and enquiries into the incident are ongoing." Hairdresser Ellie, understandably hasn't appeared on Gogglebox since Nat was rushed to hospital and is set to miss the rest of the season.
She is yet to comment on Nat and his recovery – but has reportedly "barely left" his side since he was hospitalised. The Yorkshire-born star has appeared on the Channel 4 show alongside her sister Izzi since 2015. It has also been reported she will be paid her £1,500 fee by the Gogglebox show to put her mind at rest about money, amid the ongoing circumstances.
Ellie and sister Izzi have become fan favourites over the years, thanks to their hilarious TV commentary and on-screen dynamic. Regular Instagram users, the pair update fans on the show and their lives. However, Ellie hasn't posted since Monday, March 14.
