Channel Nine star Peter Overton opens up about his shock heath battle that left him unable to talk: 'Scared'


Peter Overton has opened up about his shock health scare that left him unable to talk for a week.

Speaking to Stellar, Overton admitted that, while on sis weeks annual leave, he had noticed his voice becoming 'husky and raspy' which prompted a visit to the GP 'After an Ear Nose and Throat surgeon discovered a polyp on one of his vocal cords, which explains his very raspy voice over the holidays.' She added that Peter had already been in surgery and had to minimise his speaking as part of the recovery process, meaning he wouldn't be able to return to work for some time.
