The 31-year-old reality star is worried about the condition of her boyfriend, who is also in his 30s and recently moved in with the star, following an accident in Leeds on Friday.
It has been reported that Nat has suffered a broken neck and a punctured lung following the accident, with all of Ellie’s family fearing for his health as he battles to survive his injuries.
