Below Deck viewers call for Nathan Gallagher to be cut from show as warrant issued for his arrest
Fans of Below Deck Mediterranean want to know whether Nathan Gallagher will still be shown on the remaining episodes after an arrest warrant was issued for him.
The Australian public have been warned not to approach Gallagher, 28, after he had been due to appear in court yesterday (1 September) in connection to charges of domestic violence but did not attend.
Gallagher had previously been arrested on 27 December last year for allegedly assaulting a 29-year-old woman, with him being charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, choking without consent and common assault.
The reality TV show star pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and was released on conditional bail, and last month he issued a statement through Rolling Stone saying he didn't think people had 'heard the full story surrounding what happened'.

Gallagher failed to appear before a court yesterday he was convicted of the three charges arrayed against him and prosecutors said they believe he is 'offshore at this time'.
Viewers of Below Deck Mediterranean have been asking whether he'll be removed from the rest of the show.
Gallagher appears in season 11 of Below Deck Mediterranean, the show was filmed last year before his initial arrest, and some fans think that given what's happened since it's time for him to be edited out of the show.
Bravo, the channel that shows the Below Deck reality series, has continued to post online about the show on their social media channels and several of the fans commenting have been asking what they're going to do about Gallagher.
"Domestic violence isn't a small issue to ignore," one wrote as they asked why the show released episodes showing Gallagher.
Someone else asked why they 'still allow Nathan to be on camera for weeks' following his arrest last year, and another said there was 'explaining to do'.
Some fans said Bravo should 'edit Nathan out of this season'.
What's shown on Below Deck Mediterranean was filmed before the arrest or conviction, but several fans have called on Bravo to remove Gallagher from what's being broadcast now.
Gallagher won't be part of the next season of the reality show, and faces being arrested if he returns to Australia.
New South Wales Police 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."
Judge Lacy said immigration records indicated Gallagher was overseas and noted the offences he'd been convicted of were 'very serious, with significant maximum penalties'.
