Ellie Warner's Gogglebox fans have turned into her support system over the last few days after her boyfriend Nat Eddleston was rushed into hospital after reportedly being hit by a car.
The reality star, who appears on the Channel 4 show alongside sister Izzi, is said to be living 'hour by hour' as she remains by Nat's side following the terrible accident, which has reportedly left him on life support.
Her partner reportedly suffered from a broken neck and two collapsed lungs, with police confirming he is in a "critical but stable condition" following the alleged hit and run accident in Leeds on Friday.
Nat was reportedly knocked down by a white car shortly after midnight after meeting friends for drinks at a pub in the Halton area of the city.
Fans of the much-loved show have sent their prayers to Ellie as she patiently waits for her boyfriend to come around.
Underneath the star's most recent snap of her boyfriend, which sees him holding a piece of kebab meat in a Valentine's Day tribute, thousands have left sweet comments to Ellie.
One person wrote: "Sending you lots of love. I had the same injuries 30 years ago in an accident and although it’s a tough road he will get through it, I’m only saying this so you know people get through it. Sending lots of positive vibes to you xx"
A second shared: "Thinking of you all Ellie. Hope Nat makes a fast recovery. It happened 2 mins from us."
"Hey girly, you keep those thoughts positive," a third added. "I broke my back and neck in 5 places and I’m up and about. Nat’s absolutely got this!! Sending big hugs your way."
Another commented: "Sending Positive Thoughts."
It is believed Ellie's boyfriend was struck by a white Seat Leon just after midnight on Saturday morning.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed the road in Halton, Leeds, was cordoned off on Saturday.

A family member told The Sun : "Nat is in intensive care with a broken neck, broken back, two collapsed lungs and possible brain damage."
"He is on a life support machine and all the family and Ellie are obviously very worried for him," the family member added.
