Ellie Warner, who is four months pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Nat Eddleston, wore a rainbow-colored sweater for the episode.
Pregnant Ellie Warner and her sister Izzi made their Gogglebox return
On this premiere episode of the new series, she showed off her growing belly while sitting on the couch and watching You on Netflix.
During the season finale of the prior year, right before Christmas, the hairdresser revealed to her sister that she was expecting a baby by showing her a baby scan.
The sisters announced their return on Instagram before Friday night’s episode, writing: ‘The countdown is over. Gogglebox is back on your screens tonight.’
A flood of Gogglebox fans commented on the post to share their enthusiasm for the new season.
It’s been an incredibly tough year for Gogglebox‘s Ellie Warner.
The 31-year-old TV favourite was forced to take time off the Channel 4 show after her partner Nat Eddleston was hit by a car last year, which left him fighting for his life in hospital.
After the terrible crash on March 18 of last year, he was left with a broken neck and back, two collapsed lungs, and required life support.
Less than a year later, however, the happy couple was back in full force as they posed for photos under the Eiffel Tower.
Ellie posted the photos to her 460K followers with the captions: ‘Ellie and Nat in Paris’.
Then she posted a series of selfies of them in front of the city’s most famous landmarks, such as the Louvre and the Mona Lisa.
The two braved the cold weather by donning hats and coats.
Ellie attended her sister Katie’s baby shower last month, where she wore a pink dress to show off her growing belly and expressed excitement about raising their children together.
The star posted several photos to Instagram from the glitzy afternoon tea at the Hazelwood Castle Hotel in Yorkshire.
Ellie’s fuchsia dress, paired with polka dot tights and heeled black ankle boots, was the center of attention.
Katie was photogenic in a blue floral minidress with a “mummy to be sash” draped over her stomach and no shoes on.
Ellie wrote this as the caption for her video: ‘Fab day at our lovely Katie’s baby shower today. Can’t wait for our babies to grow up together.’
Ellie made her first pregnancy announcement in December on Gogglebox, and Pete Sandiford made his second announcement on the same episode.
Ellie appeared on the show with her sister Izzi, whom she showed the ultrasound to announce the happy news.
Here’s what the expecting mom had to say: ‘I went for a scan on Saturday. That’s the picture’
Ellie recalled the time she first showed her mother the scan.
‘When I showed mum the picture she said, ”Oh can I take a picture” and you didn’t even look at it for two minutes,’ she said.
To which Izzi responded: ‘I did! I told you where the things were, I’ll stare at it a bit longer just to make you happy.’
Ellie and Nat have recently moved in together, and in the early months of the Covid lockdown, Nat made a brief appearance on the show.
Leeds semi-detached house built in the 1930s was the first home they purchased as a couple last year.
