Emmerdale star Laura Norton has shared an update on her two children's rare condition. The actress is well known for her role as Kerry Wyatt on the ITV hit soap. Away from the show, Laura has two children with her former co-star Mark Jordon. The couple welcomed three-year-old Jesse in 2021 and their second child, Ronnie, was born in October 2022. Both of their children were diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects both hearing and vision. It usually requires children to wear hearing aids for the rest of their lives and potentially causes sight loss in their teenage years. Laura first found out that there was something wrong with Jesse when she was already pregnant with Ronnie. Speaking to OK!, Laura opened up about her family life since her children's diagnosis. 'It’s still quite raw,' she explained. 'It’s a huge part of our lives.'
