Legendary entertainer Bert Newton has been released from hospital following his quadruple bypass heart surgery 10 days ago.

Newton, 74, will now go into rehabilitation for a period of time before returning home.

“The reaction has been amazing. It’s such a wonderful bonus [hearing from] not just from people that you know and people who have written to you regularly, but people you’ve not heard of before,” he said.

“It’s a wonderful feeling.”

He says the operation went well and there will be a three to six month recovery period.

“It wasn’t nearly as bad as some people would’ve forecast,” he said.

“My surgeons have treated it as a journey and I’ve been on a few interesting journeys in my life and it will continue to be a journey.”

  2. @jules108 – Coffee and some medications do it. Never smoked one in my life but I’m like that.
    Get well Bert. Did I hear your name mentioned in rumblings at the TEN AGM? Not even to host the Judge Judy Marathon? Come on. Don’t let a little old heart bypass stop you. Please????
