UPDATE: BERT Newton is recovering in intensive care at the Epworth Hospital after quadruple bypass heart surgery that went to plan.

Patti Newton told waiting media that it is a relief that the five-and-a -half-hour operation has been completed.

"I just went and saw him for a second and he is not a pretty sight at the moment, but hopefully that will get better,'' she said.

"But it's early days yet.

"At least he got through the operation and that's the main thing.''

In a statement the Epworth Hospital said everything went to plan with the operation.

"His surgeon said everything proceeded according to plan and he is very happy with how things went,'' the statement said.

"Bert is now resting comfortably in intensive care.

"We are keeping a close eye on him in the ICU as we do all our patients.''

Newton told the Herald Sun from his hospital bed yesterday that he was looking forward to a full recovery after weeks if not months of rehab.

"Getting back to normal is quite a long journey,'' he said.

"I'll be in rehab, and probably wont be precisely 100 per cent for about two or three months, but I accept that.

"Because the good news is that there is every chance I will be back to normal.''
