The star wore a shimmering two-tone minidress and kicked back her heels as she posed in front of a giant 21 sign and a wall of balloons inside The Mancunian suite at the Etihad Stadium.
She curled her bown hair and couldn’t stop smiling as she marked the big life milestone.
Sharing the love on Instagram, she wrote: “Thank you to everyone who made my night so special ❤️.”
Lucy Fallon, Colson Smith and Alex Mardell all wished her well as did Emmerdale’s Daisy Campbell and Jake Quickenden.
Ellie shared antics from her big night on social media, and she could be seen dancing, smiling, singing and just having a great time.
Last week she looked worlds away from her TV character once again as she shared a chic selfie.
Ellie rocked a green beret and chic long-sleeved black top to ring in her birthday.
Her big party came after she signed a new contract to stay on the soap.

She will be sticking around on the Cobbles for at least another year after bosses asked her to stay on following the exit of two characters.
A source said: “Ellie is a huge talent and bosses are delighted she’s signed a new contract.
“She’s really proved herself time and time again, most recently after the accident which caused Ted’s death. There’s lots more to come from her and some exciting storylines ahead.”
The actress, who is Brooke Vincent’s cousin, joined the cast in 2011 and has cemented herself as one of the key players in Weatherfield.
She recently took six months off the soap while her character was in prison.
She was sentenced for attacking Adam, thinking he was pervert Ray and left him for dead.
Her character returned to screens this year, with Ellie admitting she had a “boring” time doing “nothing”.
“It was the most boring six months. I couldn’t wait to get back to work,” she explained.
“I would have liked to have gone away but obviously with the travel restrictions and stuff it meant that I couldn’t which was quite sad but I’m sure there will be times where I can go away soon.”
