Emmerdale star Mark Jordon, known for playing Daz Spencer on the ITV soap, has pleaded not guilty to charges of attacking a 68-year-old man in Oldham. The 53-year-old actor is accused of wounding and assaulting the pensioner on the evening of 1 July, with the victim allegedly suffering bites to his eyebrow, arm, and thumb.
Jordon appeared at Tameside Magistrates' Court on Thursday, accompanied by his girlfriend and Emmerdale co-star Laura Norton, 35, who plays Kerry Wyatt. The court granted him unconditional bail and sent the case to Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court.
He is scheduled to appear before judges on 6 December for a plea and trial preparation hearing. Jordon, of Tamewater Court, Oldham, first joined the long-running Yorkshire-based soap as former soldier Daz in 2014 and became a regular cast member in August 2017.
Before his role in Emmerdale, Jordon had appearances in other television shows including Heartbeat, Coronation Street, and Casualty.
