Laura Norton has sore knees from slut-dropping


‘Emmerdale’ actress Laura Norton has sore knees from ‘slut-dropping’.

The actress – who plays the character of Kerry Wyatt in the ITV soap – regularly has aching knees from performing the racy dance move because the writers of the show seem to constantly find excuses to include it.

Talking at the Inside Soap Awards, where she won the title of Funniest Female, she told BANG Showbiz: "I did a slut drop in the show about a year-and-a-half ago and ever since I did it, every time I open another script I have to do another slut drop!"

The pain in her joints has now got so bad the 31-year-old star thinks the only escape from her signature dance move will be a serious knee injury.

She continued: "My knees are really sore, I’ve absolutely done my right knee in now, so I’m going to have to try and do it really badly so they stop writing it in!"

Despite the pain, the Geordie lass has confirmed her love for dancing, and has teased upcoming ‘Emmerdale’ scenes where she’s at it again, this time wearing a wedding dress.

She explained: "There’s something coming up actually on Halloween where we’ve got us back in my wedding dress for fancy dress and I end up doing a few slut moves, slut drops."

"Although I’m moaning I’m always dancing or doing something."
