The 31-year-old was left with critical injuries, he reportedly suffered from a broken back and neck and both his lungs had collapsed.

Nat was even placed on a life support machine upon initially arriving at the hospital.

Ellie took to Facebook to announce the charity she would like to support for her 32nd birthday, revealing that Headway was an organisation that was very close to her heart.

She wrote: "For my birthday this year, I’m asking for donations to Headway – the brain injury association.

"I’ve chosen this charity because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope that you’ll consider contributing as a way of celebrating with me," the television personality wrote.

She has not returned to filming since the horrifying accident over six weeks ago, however, Gogglebox bosses confirmed that they would honour Ellie's full filming fee despite her absence.

Ellie has taken time away from the Channel 4 show in order to care for Nat as he continues on his recovery journey.
