Emmerdale’s Laura Norton and Mark Jordon have made a heartfelt plea to support their children.
As we’ve previously reported, the acting stars, known for their Emmerdale roles as Kerry Wyatt and Daz Spencer on the ITV hit soap, have two young children together - Jesse and Ronnie. Both youngsters have a rare genetic disease affecting both of their children.
The condition, known as usher syndrome, is a rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision, requiring both children to wear hearing aids for the rest of their lives and potentially deal with sight loss into their teenage years. Today, the couple appeared on Channel 4 programme Steph's Packed Lunch to raise awareness as well as appeal for government support.
