THE boyfriend of Gogglebox star Ellie Warner has been spotted for the first time wearing a head brace after his near-death accident.
Nat Eddleston was left fighting for his life in March after he was hit by a car.
He suffered a broken neck and back, two collapsed lungs, and needed life support following the horror smash on March 18.
It was feared Nat would be left brain damaged and spent weeks in intensive care.
But fans of the Channel 4 show will be delighted to see him back on his feet.
Ellie's boyfriend, who had recently moved in with the hairdresser, wore a hoodie padded with soft material where a halo brace rested over his shoulders.

Ellie, who has appeared on the Channel 4 show alongside her sister Izzi since 2015, recently broke her silence on Nat's accident in Leeds, where he had earlier been drinking with pals in his local pub in Halton.
She said: "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 car, which sustained a smashed windscreen and dented roof in the incident, reportedly continued for about 100 yards before stopping.
Speaking shortly after the incident, a source told The Sun: "Ellie is understandably in pieces and everyone is just hoping and praying Nat comes through this.
"Nat is Ellie's absolute world. She has been totally overwhelmed with messages of love and support."
