Entertainment reporter Peter Ford broke the news on-air on The Morning Rush with Sean and Kate on Monday morning, revealing that he’d been in contact with Newton’s family over the weekend.
“It got worse … he was seeing doctors and specialists and they couldn’t seem to get it right, it kept on spreading. Basically he was told last week, you have a couple of months to live, or if you have your leg amputated, you’ll probably have a few years. So, he agreed to have the leg amputated on Saturday,” Ford said.Ford said the amputation would mean some big adjustments for quadruple Gold Logie-winner Bert and his wife of 47 years, Patti.
Love ol Moon face. Especially when he teamed up with Graham Kennedy. Get well Bert. All the best mate.
Diabetes is a terrible illness. So sad for him and hope he will recover in a short time
This is a very sad story despite what the Newton’s are saying
Despite so much success Bert has not had the easiest of lives. May God be with you Bert.
We Love you Bert! 🙌
Hope he’s ok, he’s TV royalty
That’s awful!!! 🤦♀️
❤️
Quick recovery Bert. Best wishes to you ❤️
