Jess Rowe explains Peter Overton's absence from the news desk
Jess Rowe has revealed why her husband Peter Overton has been absent from the 9News desk, sharing that he had to undergo surgery.
The podcast host took to Instagram to inform her followers that Overton will be back presenting the news eventually, but has been recovering at home after having surgery during the Christmas break.
“As you know Pete doesn’t do Insta – and he wanted me to share some news with you," she began.
"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!!)”
She added, “Hopefully he’ll be back to 9News soonish. Big thanks to the great doctors, nurses, speech pathologists, and Pete’s wonderful work colleagues.”
Fans rushed to share their concern for the Nine presenter in the comments below the post.
“Aww thank you so much for sharing this story with Pete’s fans who love him for the work he does and looking forward for his recovery from the surgery,” one fan commented.
“Wishing you a speedy recovery Pete. Looking forward to hearing your calming voice on the airwaves real soon,” another fan said. “We know Jess and the girls would be looking after Pete with great care.”
