Gordon studied at RADA in the same year as Jane Horrocks, where the two became best friends. After college, they shared a flat in Bayswater and celebrated their joint 30th birthday party at the Groucho Club.

Gordon separated from her husband, Tim Laurence, in 2011. Together, they run the UK branch of the Hoffman Institute, which runs a personal development programme founded by Bob Hoffman in 1967. They have two sons.
