Brooke Vincent has shared a gushing tribute to her Coronation Street star cousin on her 21st birthday. Ellie Leach, who plays Faye Windass in the ITV soap, celebrated the milestone with a party over the weekend before quietly marking the official day on Tuesday (March 15).
Among those sending her messages on her special day was former soap star Lucy Fallon, who played Corrie's Bethany Platt, and on-screen boyfriend Colson Smith, best known for portraying former PC Craig Tinker.

But Brooke, 28, went all out with her message to her younger cousin, sharing childhood snaps and unseen video from her big birthday bash on Saturday night. The actress, who is also known for playing the role of Sophie Webster in Corrie, started by sharing a glam snap of Ellie who looked worlds away from her on-screen character in an iridescent strapless mini dress that came with its own train.
The 21-year-old soap star smiled for the camera, lifting up her foot to show off her sparkling stiletto heels which featured a butterfly back while posing in front of a huge balloon display with giant light-up numbers showing off her new age.
"Happy 21st to our beautiful @ellielouiseleach," Brooke wrote alongside the snap before continuing on with her message. My boys love you so much! @ellielousieleach," she said alongside a photo of Ellie with one of her two sons before later sharing one of them wearing their dressing gowns, commenting: "Your hugs are the best and you're that always pair of extra hands I am forever needing."
