Usher syndrome symptoms as Emmerdale's Laura Norton shares children's rare diagnosis

Emmerdale stars Laura Norton and Mark Jordon have revealed their two children have been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition.

The soap stars are the proud parents of two children named Jesse and Ronnie. Mark is renowned for his role as Daz Spencer in the show and revealed how both children have been diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a condition that impacts both hearing and vision.

He told Hello! Magazine: "We've agonised about doing this before we've even told our children about their condition... we're going to write them a letter to explain why we did this and show then when they're old enough to understand."
