Pregnant Gogglebox star Ellie Warner shares health update during Channel 4 show

Gogglebox star Ellie Warner revealed she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during the latest episode of the show.

The pregnant star, who is a fan-favourite on the Channel 4 series, took to the couch to watch the week's news and shows.

While watching The Apprentice with her sister Izzi, she made a casual reference to her diabetes while discussing Lord Alan Sugar.

"Alan Sugar is my only sugar fix now I have got gestational diabetes," she joked while watching the BBC series.

According to the NHS, gestational diabetes is high blood sugar (glucose) that develops during pregnancy and usually disappears after giving birth.

The website states that gestational diabetes can happen at any stage of the pregnancy but is usually more common in the last two trimesters of it.

At the beginning of December, Ellie revealed she's expecting a baby with her boyfriend Nat Eddleston after a tough year which saw her partner fighting for his life following a horror car crash.

She shared the pregnancy news as she turned to her sister Izzie to share a snap of her ultrasound scan.

"I went for a scan on Saturday," she said on the show while showing a picture of the scan before both sisters chuckled as Ellie said: "It looks like a jellied alien!"

Fans were excited to hear the news and took to social media to congratulate the TV star.

Several months later, Ellie finally revealed the gender of her unborn child.

The TV personality gave Channel 4 viewers a glimpse at her growing baby bump during an episode of the show at the beginning of this month.

She told fans that she is expecting a baby boy as she lifted her jumper up and showed her sister Izzie her bump.

The star went on to tell her niece and nephew to speak to their unborn cousin.

"Are you going to say 'hello' to the baby boy?" the TV star asked them.

She asked her nephew: "Are you happy you're going to have another boy cousin, Bobby?"

Her nephew admitted it was 'all he wants'.
