One of those outrageously famous people I've never heard anyone say a word against.

Not even : "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who heard Bert snap at the waitress at 31 flavours".

Proper old school entertainer.

I can vouch for that, as I met Bert Newton and Sigrid Thornton once in circumstances when they had cause to complain, but they were very pleasant.

Also Mick Molloy made a few jokes about Bert's missing leg on "The Frontbar" and didn't seem worried about any repercussions, saying Bert's a gag man he'll love it.
