There were famous faces and glitterballs galore as Emmerdale’s Laura Norton and her actor fiancé Mark Jordon pulled out all the stops to host a very special event.
But it was the two little stars tucked up in bed who were the focus of the night: the couple’s children, son Jesse and daughter Ronnie.
The youngsters, who both suffer from the rare genetic condition Usher syndrome, which will affect their hearing and vision, were the inspiration for the inaugural CureUsher Ball, a dazzling disco-themed event at Manchester’s Hilton Deansgate hotel.
Joined by friends, family and a galaxy’s Kelvin Fletcher, Amy Walsh, Roxy Shahidi and Isabel Hodgins, Tina O’Brien from and actress Nikki Sanderson – Laura and Mark were overwhelmed by the support.
