She posed for a mirror selfie in a coral mini dress and faux fur coat which she teamed with leopard print shoes.
Another snap saw her kicking back on a sofa in a lounge, raising her leg high into the air and showcasing impressive flexibility.
Former Corrie star Hayley Tamaddon commented: "HOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! Look at you! Gorgeous woman! Happy birthday! Love you xxxx."
Samia Longchambon said: "Happy birthday! 50… more like FITTY!"
A stunned fan posted: "Are you joking??? Omg!!!!! You look so young and beautiful! Happy Birthday beautiful Sally!!"
Another said: "50 looking 30! Have a gorgeous day. Happy Birthday."
A third wrote: "Wait what!!!!!!!! 50?! You literally look 30. Happiest of Birthdays to you lovely. Enjoy xxx."
Sally is married to co-star Joe Duttine, who plays taxi boss Tim Metcalfe, and recently revealed working together is a nightmare.
'I'd be very happy never to have a scene with him ever again,' she joked in an interview with Ok!.
'I love Joe to bits, but I don't like working with him – I'm never going to like working with him."
Sally added: "Bless him, we've got very different work processes – let's just put it like that. I like to come fully prepared, and he likes to flesh it out on the floor."
"Also, he's very funny. I'm such a giggler and once I've gone, I'm gone. It's terrible and even if people get annoyed about it, it doesn't help."
She continued: "He absolutely makes me howl with laughter and he does it on purpose. I get cross with him because he knows the situation, but he can't help himself.'
Sally and Joe quickly fell in love after she first joined Corrie in 2017 and they got engaged in March 2020.
Two years later, they tied the knot, having initially had to put their wedding on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking on Loose Women, Sally explained why they decided to "defer" their big day for a year.
She said: "I'm not quite sure where we're gonna be in December, the way things have been dealt with so I didn't want to risk arranging a wedding.
"We want to have a party - so if there's 15 people allowed to come, it's not great really.
"So we thought that it was best if we defer it for a year, and hopefully get the wedding that we want."
Sally also recently spoke about her character's dramas on the cobbles, including a secret fling with her brother-in-law, Carl.
Her mechanic character can't resist the new arrival on the cobbles, even though husband Kevin is currently battling cancer.
"It's complete lust at first sight," Sally told Ok!.
"There's that undeniable chemistry – it's palpable. They just click. It was an instant attraction – they bounced off each other and it reignites something in Abi that's been dormant for ages.
"She's an addict and this gives her a thrill. It's a different kind of thrill, but it's exhilarating for her."

Amanda Knox working with Monica Lewinsky on latest docudrama about her life
Monica Lewinsky and Amanda Knox are collaborating on a new Hulu docudrama titled The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which premieres on Wednesday. Both women serve as producers on the series, which explores Knox's relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom. Lewinsky stated she saw in Knox "another young woman who had suffered in the media, had been feasted on, on the world stage," highlighting their shared experience of intense public scrutiny. Knox was wrongfully imprisoned for four years in Italy after being convicted of the 2007 murder of her flatmate, Meredith Kercher, a conviction later overturned due to errors in the forensic investigation. Knox identifies with a group she calls "The Sisterhood," comprising women subjected to excessive media speculation, and has since advocated for others behind bars.
