Gogglebox star Ellie Warner recently shared some adorable snaps of her son Ezra and boyfriend Nat Eddleston from a family day out at a pumpkin patch.
The 32-year-old posted the cute pictures on Instagram, showing off her baby boy dressed as a pumpkin and sitting on a hay bale.
In another photo, proud dad Nat is seen holding Ezra in an autumn-themed barn adorned with bunting. Ellie also shared a snap of herself bundled up in a coat and hat, holding Ezra who sat atop some pumpkins. She captioned the post: "Cutest pumpkin in the patch," reflecting on their precious family time after a tough year that saw Nat seriously injured in a car crash.

Ellie's boyfriend Nat was in a serious accident recently (Instagram/ @ellie__warner)Last year on March 18, Nat was hit by a vehicle while walking home in Leeds, resulting in a broken neck, back and two collapsed lungs. The driver who hit Nat, Declan Anderson, with his white Seat Ibiza, was banned from driving after the 21-year-old admitted to causing serious injury through dangerous driving.
The court heard that his car was speeding at over 40mph in a 30mph zone when he hit Nat, who was walking home after a night out with friends. Witnesses told Leeds Crown Court that the car swerved onto the wrong side of the road and hit Nat with such force that the windscreen shattered and the roof caved in.

Nat spent 11 days in intensive care with damage to his brain nerve fibres and bruised lungs; he had to be fitted with a surgical halo brace. He is still recovering from the accident and has had to have speech therapy.
During the trial, the court heard that Declan, who lives in Bramley, stopped at the scene before being questioned by the police in a voluntary interview. His girlfriend was in the car with him.
His lawyer, Lisa Judge, argued that Declan had swerved to avoid other people walking off the pavement, and that he had shown remorse despite later being fined for speeding again. He was given a two-year jail sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to do 20 days of probation rehabilitation, as well as being banned from driving for three years.
Judge Ray Singh, passing sentence, said: "You have shown genuine remorse for the victim in this case. It points to a mistake of a young man having made a terrible momentary misjudgement by driving dangerously.
"I find it baffling that you then speed once again. That is not going to be tolerated in the future. The injuries you caused were life-threatening and the harm is continuing."
After her partner's terrible accident, Ellie had to take a break from the reality show on Channel 4. This incident had such a big impact on their lives that Ellie started a campaign to help people with brain injuries.
On Facebook, she asked her friends and family to donate to the charity Headway for her birthday. She wrote: "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. Every little bit will help me reach my goal.
"Headway's mission is to promote the understanding of all aspects of brain injury and to provide vital information, support and services to people with a brain injury, their families and carers. Facebook takes care of the donation processing with no fees."
