‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ star Nathan Gallagher dropped by Bravo amid ongoing police search in Australia
Nathan Gallagher will not be returning to Below Deck Mediterranean after reality TV channel Bravo said they did not intend to work with him again in the future.
An arrest warrant was issued for Gallagher after he failed to appear in court on 1 September in connection with charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, choking without consent and common assault.
Gallagher had issued a not guilty plea and his failure to appear in the courtroom meant he was tried in absence, with him being found guilty on all three charges.
New South Wales Police released an arrest warrant and mugshot for the reality TV star, encouraging people not to approach Gallagher and saying they believe him to be out of Australia at the moment.

They said: "Have you seen Nathan Gallagher? A warrant has been issued for the 28-year-old’s arrest.
“He is known to frequent the Ermington and Melrose Park areas, and is believed to be offshore.
“Anyone with information into his whereabouts is urged not to approach him, but to call Triple Zero (000) immediately.”
Attention had been on TV channel Bravo, which shows Below Deck Mediterranean, for a response to the developing situation as they'd been criticised for not addressing it.
Now they have with a statement declaring that there'll be no more working with Gallagher, as a spokesperson said: "Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future."
Gallagher is currently appearing in season 11 of Below Deck Mediterranean which was filmed last year before he was arrested on 27 December for allegedly assaulting a 29-year-old woman.
Some fans had argued that the remaining episodes of the show should be re-edited to remove him, but Bravo have indicated he won't be in future seasons.
Gallagher had been in three seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean including the one he is currently being shown in, but is not expected to return to the show again.
While he has been convicted on the three charges in his absence, Gallagher last week claimed he would 'take responsibility for my own actions’ and told Rolling Stone that people hadn't 'heard the full story surrounding what happened'.
He claimed public knowledge 'represents only one side of what was an extremely complicated situation’, and alleged that he had video footage and messages which he thought would 'provide important context and show events that have not been publicly reported'.
Nonetheless his failure to appear for his trial means he is now a convicted domestic abuser.
