Coronation Street's Ellie Leach wants Faye Windass to go off the rails again joined Coronation Street eight years ago and viewers have seen her grow up onscreen.
But while she's more well known as troubled teen Faye Windass - who fell pregnant at 12 on the ITV show - Ellie leads a much more glamorous and less stressful life than her Corrie counterpart.
She recently celebrated turning 18 with a big bash along with her boyfriend Reagan Pettman, getting glammed up for the event in a stunning all white look.
The soap star regularly posts about her trips abroad with her other half as well as sneak peeks into her stylish red carpet wardrobe.
Ellie went public with her boyfriend, who is also an actor, in January and they've enjoyed a romantic trip to Barcelona.
The couple both posted pictures of their visit to the Magic Fountain OF Montjuic and Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia in the Spanish city.
Reagan celebrated his 18th birthday just before his girlfriend with her writing a gushing tribute to her partner.
"Happy 18th Birthday. you are a breath of fresh air. i love having fun and making memories with you always and i hope you have a day thats as special as you. i love you pop chop ps you’re the best cuddler ever."
