Gogglebox favourite Ellie Warner has revealed the real reason she’s in no rush to marry her long-term boyfriend Nat Eddleston. Ellie made the frank admission during the latest episode of the hit Channel 4 show on Friday (7 March).
The Leeds-based star, who appears alongside her sister Izzi Warner, was prompted to discuss marriage while watching an episode of Married at First Sight Australia. Ellie admitted she has no strong desire to marry Nat, the father of her child, Ezra, because of the high costs involved.
Wedding costs ‘a waste of money’

Continuing her honest take, Ellie added: “I was saying that is just a waste of money to me and I’m actually not that bothered about getting married because it costs so much money.”
Ellie then joked: “I said, ‘Look you could take your family to Disneyland for that.’ Then someone said, ‘You could get married in Disneyland,’ but then you’d become one of them Disney adults and I wouldn’t want to be one of them.”
Registry office would be enough

She confessed to Izzi: “I’d be happy with a registry office and a meal after.” Izzi seemed surprised by this, replying: “Really?” before Ellie burst into laughter.
Ellie’s candid thoughts about weddings resonated with viewers who prefer practicality over extravagant ceremonies.
