Gogglebox fans are missing Ellie and Izzi Warner who haven’t been on the show for three weeks.
The sisters from Leeds are taking a break from the show after Nat, Ellie’s boyfriend, was hit by a car. The TV star has barely left her partner's bedside as he remains in critical but stable condition.
After the show aired yesterday (Friday) fans continued to express they missed Ellie and Izzi and that they hoped Nat was OK. @purplesburner said: “I miss ellie and izzi i hope nat is ok #gogglebox.”

@HannahF_24 added: “I do miss Ellie and Izzi.. hope Nat’s ok #Gogglebox.” While @kieranreeves4 didn’t know why the sisters had not appeared on the show, tweeting: “@C4Gogglebox What's happened to @ellieandizzi? Haven't seen them for a while, they're my favourite goggleboxers!”
In response to this, @bembridge77 said: "Ellie’s partner was knocked down a couple of weeks ago, last I read he was on life support."
@gambite69 said: "@ellieandizzi hope your boyfriend gets better real soon."
Nat was rushed to hospital after being hit by a car in Selby Road, Leeds. A friend previously told The Sun Ellie’s heart was “totally ripped in two” after the accident.
They said: "Ellie has barely left Nat’s side since the accident. She has been holding his hand and willing him to get better.
"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."
They added: “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."
