 In a detailed and honest post, Gogglebox's Ellie Warner shared her dramatic breastfeeding journey, including a shocking rush to hospital after she developed mastitis. The new mum said she was determined to breastfeed her baby boy but things didn't go quite to plan as she ended up in 'so much pain' with a burst abscess. Ellie announced her pregnancy on Gogglebox last year before announcing the birth of Ezra who she shares with her parter Nat Eddleston earlier this year.
