Soap stars Laura Norton and Mark Jordon have opened up about the rare genetic disease with which both their children have been diagnosed.
The Emmerdale stars, known for their role as Kerry Wyatt and Daz Spencer, have two children together, two-year-old Jesse and five-month-old Ronnie. Appearing on This Morning on Monday, they revealed that Jesse was diagnosed with Usher syndrome when she was pregnant with her second child.
Usher syndrome is a rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision. It means that many children with the condition need to wear hearing aids and will potentially experience sight loss.
