Matthew Newton still loves ex-Neighbours star

Matthew Newton has admitted to friends that he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend, it has been reported.

The Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities star, who recently checked himself into an alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation centre, split from former Neighbours star Brooke Satchwell in 2006 after admitting to attacking her.

A friend of Newton told Woman’s Day magazine: “His family is resigned to the way he feels about Brooke – he lets his feelings out at his most vulnerable moments. He’s a soft little boy underneath and in a way it’s kind of sweet because the majority of the time they were beautiful together. It’s just that now, after everything that has happened, it would be very, very complicated.”

Newton, who is now rumoured to be engaged to Transformers actress Rachael Taylor, pleaded guilty to pushing and punching Satchwell at their Sydney flat after six years together.

Satchwell used to play Billy Kennedy’s wife Anne Wilkinson in the Australian soap.
