Emmerdale's Amy Walsh supports 'special' co-star as real-life partner speaks out
manchestereveningnews.co.ukEmmerdale star Amy Walsh has flooded her 'special' co-star Laura Norton with support after she was seen getting emotional about her children's diagnosis.
Laura was seen attending a hospital appointment with her children, who she shares with former co-star Mark Jordon. The couple first welcomed three-year-old Jesse in 2021 and their second child, Ronnie, was born in October 2022.
