Peter Overton recovering after throat surgery

Sydney presenter remains off air after a surgeon discovered a polyp on one of his vocal cords.

Nine News Sydney presenter Peter Overton is recovering following recent throat surgery.

Wife Jessica Rowe took to Instagram to advise, “As you know Petee doesn’t do Insta – and he wanted me to share some news with you. He’s off work for a little longer at the moment after an ENT surgeon discovered a polyp on one of his vocal cords which explains his very raspy voice over the holidays!

“He was operated on and part of his recovery is no talking for now (which is a HUGE challenge for him!!) Hopefully he’ll be back to 9news soonish. Big thanks to the great doctors, nurses, speech pathologist and Petee’s wonderful work colleagues.”

Get well soon!

  1. Oh bummer! First Melanoma and now this. All the best for a swift and full recovery Pete. Couldn’t Jessica step in? Has a bit of experience. But what if she rates higher than you? Sorry, bad idea.
