An ESTA is not a physical object, it is an electronic record.
From the ESTA FAQ:
Do I need to bring a printout or digital copy of my travel authorization to the airport?
No. DHS will be able to communicate a traveler's ESTA status to the carriers. However, DHS recommends that travelers print out the travel authorization application response in order ...

For the British islands (Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, etc), you are supposed to carry ID but it is not usually checked. There is no formal border control when arriving from or going to the UK. It's like a domestic flight. I usually bring a driving licence in my wallet in case anyone asks, but I've never been asked for it.
Gibraltar has formal entrance ...

Since this seems to a date problem, check if you have entered the dates in the expected format:
UK: TT/MM/YYYY
US: MM/TT/YYYY

Dialogs with Combo-Boxes, where the month must be selected, won't have this problem.
Care should also be taken to insure that the date of birth is correctly given:

As I understand it.
Under the brexit deals that were negotiated by the government but not passed by Parliament there is supposed to be a transition period lasting at least until the end of 2020. Freedom of movement would continue during this transition period. So you would be ok to travel in February on your existing passport.
On the other hand, in the ...
