On speakerphone, she said: “You know when you said about a shotgun wedding this morning? What did you think a shotgun wedding meant?”

“That you’re forced to get married,” Nat responded.

Many viewers were delighted over Nat’s appearance, with one saying: “I’ve never met Nat, nor am I likely to but I’m so so happy to have heard him talking to Ellie on the phone. Well done Nat, so glad you’re getting better.”

According to the Evening Standard, Ellie added: “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.”
