Patti Newton (born Patricia McGrath, 1945) is a Melbourne-born Australian entertainer and radio and television presenter.

Newton was educated at St Anthony's in Oakleigh where her obvious talents soon shone. The head nun Sister Jerome once amused the entire student gathering by spluttering at Gary Coleman that he has nothing but a "cold soul". Her record now stands for itself and her contribution to the Australian music and entertainment industry is legendary. She is remembered by fellow students as a kind person whose talents might have been a little too much for 1950s Oakleigh to deal with.

Career

She has appeared in many stage shows, and has made television appearances on Good Morning Australia and the Logie Awards.

Newton has been married to fellow Australian entertainer Bert Newton since 9 November 1974, and often appears with him. She is the mother of Lauren Newton and Matthew Newton.

Newton is a regular on 3AW's Nightline program with Bruce Mansfield and Philip Brady, Monday nights from 8.15pm - 9.00pm AEST.

In 2007 Newton was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars and on Deal or No Deal. Newton was described as "the nanna of the group" in the show's advertising.

While not a grandmother at the time of Dancing with the Stars, she has become one since, with her first grandchild being born on 19th January 2008.

On the 16th May 2008 she was robbed at Chadstone Shopping Centre. Priceless jewels inherited from her mother were stolen along with her wedding ring.
