EastEnders actress Louisa Lytton is used to dressing down in her most recent storylines as Ruby Allen in the BBC One soap, but over the weekend she had a reason to celebrate – her 30th birthday! For the occasion, Louisa ensured that all eyes were on her, wearing a head-turning pink PVC dress. The vibrant number showed off the star's slim figure, and was teamed with a pair of white heels. Louisa wore her long, brunette hair up in a chic up-do, and opted for a bold makeup look. The actress shared photos from the big night on Instagram, which also featured a show-stopping birthday cake in the number 30.

Louisa revealed that the celebration was one of her "favourite nights ever" and joked that wearing a PVC dress wasn’t the best idea because she had stayed up all night dancing. She wrote: "Last night my ever so small belated birthday dinner became one of my favourite nights ever. 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."

The story aims to raise a debate about consent, as the incident occurred off camera. speaking about the storyline, actress Louisa said: “As someone that has been part of EastEnders before, and as a viewer of the show, I know the impact a storyline such as this can have. Although it is a huge responsibility, I feel honoured to be part of something that, by working alongside Rape Crisis, we all hope can help end the many misconceptions surrounding sexual violence.”
