Emmerdale's Laura Norton was rejected for two parts on the ITV soap - before bagging her current role.
Actress Laura, who plays Kerry Wyatt on the programme, has confessed she auditioned for two different parts first before she managed to secure a role as the "good-time girl with a tough upbringing" after producers saw something in her.
On the ITV soap, Kerry is dating Al Chapman - who is currently having an affair with Chas Dingle - but she had to wait over a year to bag herself that role, as she had previously auditioned to play Ali Spencer or Ruby Haswell.
