Patti Lets Bert Have It!

The Tv Legend Feels His Wife's Wrath After His Logies Blunder
 

Still feeling the public pressure after his embarrassing performance at the Logies last week, TV veteran Bert Newton is now facing wife Patti’s wrath on the home front.

A source close to the family has told New Idea the showbiz legend’s wife is ‘in shock’ after her husband made a series of toe-curling jokes while on stage at the TV awards.

And in surprising new pictures, it appears the couple had a very public showdown, prompting questions about the state of their relationship.

‘Patti definitely seemed annoyed about something and we couldn’t believe when they launched into an argument. Patti really let Bert have it. People seemed pretty shocked,’ reveals a bystander.

Trying hard to keep a professional smile on her face, Patti then went outside to take a call. ‘Patti was venting on her phone, she seemed pretty fed-up to say the least. Afterwards they put on a show of being happy and walking around smiling – but you could feel the tension rolling off them. It’s clear things are obviously not good in the Newton household.’

It’s perhaps not surprising that Patti is reeling after Bert’s bizarre performance at the Logies, which included a homophobic slur, making light of #MeToo and insinuating Patti has a TAB account – among other insensitive insults.
