When asked about her favourite moment, she said: ‘Ray Meagher winning Gold (in 2010), and also seeing Bert Newton on stage.’

‘Bert is the Logies, so it’s sad he is not here this year, but yeah I’ve always loved seeing him on stage.’

Back in May, Patti gave a moving tribute to her late husband during a Mother’s Day concert.

One of the numbers was a special tune simply called For Bert.
