In the TV series Emmerdale, Kerry Wyatt, portrayed by Laura Norton, is the sixth spouse of Eric Pollard. Speculation arises about the fate of their marriage, given Kerry’s affair with Jai Sharma. Unlike her on-screen character, Laura’s personal life with her fiancé, actor Mark Jordon, is more stable. They have been engaged for seven years and have two children, Jesse and Ronnie, who both have Usher syndrome, a rare genetic condition causing hearing and vision impairment.

Laura and Mark are actively involved in organizing the upcoming Cure Usher Ball in London in September. Due to the extensive preparations for the event, they have postponed their wedding plans. Laura is also participating in Deaf Awareness Week by creating educational videos on British Sign Language with her Emmerdale co-star, Mike Parr.

Both Laura and Mark, along with their children, have taken British Sign Language lessons to support their sons’ hearing loss. Laura emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about hearing impairment, given their personal connection to the issue.

The couple has shifted their wedding aspirations from a lavish destination ceremony to a more intimate celebration focused on love and togetherness. They are considering holding the ceremony at Kelvin Fletcher’s farm in Cheshire. Laura admires the character she plays on Emmerdale, describing Kerry as a complex and lovable character with a penchant for making impulsive decisions.

Laura’s journey to acting success was filled with challenges and perseverance, culminating in her role on Emmerdale in 2012. She credits her partner Mark for his unwavering support in managing their family responsibilities, allowing her to focus on her career. The couple’s dedication to their children and their advocacy work reflects their commitment to turning personal challenges into positive outcomes.

Emmerdale fans can catch Laura’s compelling portrayal of Kerry on weeknights at 8 pm on ITV1 or from 7 am on ITVX.
