The TV star – whose actual birthday was on 7 February – wrote beside the photos: “Last night, my ever-so-small belated birthday dinner became one of my favourite nights ever.”

Louisa, who plays Ruby Allen in the BBC soap, went on: “Thank you for making it one to remember! If I knew I’d be dancing till the early hours I wouldn’t have worn a pvc ‘I’m old, but I think I should wear this just once’ dress. Or worn pink. I really appreciate everyone turning up and turning UP. 💞.”

DJ John Sharkie, who claimed to have played the music at the party, gave more detail about the evening, commenting on the pics: “Wow DJ’d at the 18th, 21st and now the 30th and the people were very much the same.

“Says a lot about someone who retains the same circle of friends for that long x happy birthday famalam.”

Louisa’s friend, Rochel Garrett also shared a sweet video of the birthday girl dancing with her boyfriend, Benny Bhanvra.

Louisa first appeared on EastEnders in 2005. She left after a year, going on to appear on Strictly Come Dancing, where she finished fourth. Her next big role was in 2007, when she played PC Beth Green in The Bill for two years.

Speaking to The Sun about her return to the soap last year, she admitted she’s had to take part-time jobs to survive hard times.

She said: “Don’t get me wrong, I have been very lucky and I have worked the majority of the time, but I have had down periods. I’ve worked on reception at a yoga studio, I’ve been childminding – just normal jobs really.

“It’s not all fun and games. It’s a hard industry to be in. You’re out of work more than you’re in work the majority of the time. It is what it is. I was very lucky to land a high profile job to begin with.”
