In June 2020 Kerry stopped appearing on-screen and her absence was explained as the character visiting a friend. In real life, actress Laura Norton was on maternity leave.
During her ten years on the soap Laura has undergone a major transformation and has previously spoken about how cutting Coca Cola from her diet saw the actress drop three stone, after admitting she used to drink four litres of the popular fizzy drink per day.
She told The Mirror in 2018: “It was about three years ago when I started to lose weight. I was in skimpy outfits all the time on telly, and the camera also adds weight to you, so I thought I'd do something.
“I started to do a bit of exercise, which I hadn’t done for years. You get a bit older and weight is harder to lose. Then I cut the Coca-Cola out and started to notice the difference and then just decided to keep it up."
While Kerry may never be far away from the drama, thankfully, actor Laura's life off-screen is much less dramatic, she is happily engaged to former co-star, Mark Jordan.
The Kerry Wyatt actress had her head turned by Mark during his brief stint acting alongside her. They met on set and got engaged in late 2018, before welcoming a baby son named Jesse in January 2021.
Even though he has left the ITV soap the couple's relationship is still very much on and the two have recently announced they are expecting their second child together.
