A former reality TV star will make a second application for bail after taking his fight to a state\u2019s highest court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Bachelor star and fitness guru Sam Wood, 46, has been on remand since being arrested on domestic violence<\/a> charges on October 4.<\/p>\n

Sam Wood has been charged with domestic violence offences.\u00a0Nine<\/p>\n

His successful home fitness business 28 By Sam Wood has since cut ties with its namesake and, on Thursday, rebranded to evvr, while his family has reportedly returned to Melbourne<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wood has been accused of throwing his wife Snezana into a wall, choking her and banging her head on the floor at a holiday unit at Noosa, north of Brisbane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He will take his case to the Brisbane Supreme Court on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Wood lost a bid for a non-publication order last Friday that would have blocked media from seeing court files relating to his proceedings.<\/p>\n

Wood\u2019s stepdaughter Eve Markoski-Wood, 21, called police<\/a> on October 3, alleging he had harmed her mother, fellow Bachelor star Snezana Wood, at a unit on Noosa\u2019s Hastings Street tourist precinct.<\/p>\n

In an earlier bail application at Maroochydore Magistrates Court on October 8, police prosecutor Jeanette Grigoris submitted photos of injuries Ms Wood allegedly sustained.<\/p>\n

The alleged victim had given strong evidence of claims she was choked to \u201ccessation of breath\u201d before her head was banged on the floor, Grigoris said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe thought she was going to die \u2026 she is in fear of retribution,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Wood had allegedly been seriously assaulted by her husband three or four years ago in Victoria but he was not charged, the court heard.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe refers to that matter as being similar in nature and involved choking and trying to strangle her,\u201d Grigoris said.<\/p>\n

Wood, 46, posed a risk of not attending court if released, she submitted.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has no connections to Queensland<\/a>,\u201d Grigoris said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe does have the resources to essentially flee the jurisdiction.\u201c<\/p>\n

Wood\u2019s lawyer Mathew Cuskelly told the court his client had no criminal<\/a> record and his version of events indicated he might be entitled to a self-defence argument, saying there had been \u201chostilities\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Wood<\/p>\n

Wood is accused of assaulting his wife Snezana, who he met on The Bachelor reality TV series. \u00a0Instagram<\/p>\n

\u201cHe pushed her away. There is denial of any strangulation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But Acting Magistrate Janelle Boegheim refused bail, describing the prosecution case as relatively strong and saying consideration for bail could be revisited if the case strength changes.<\/p>\n

Wood earned a national profile as a star of The Bachelor\u2019s third season in 2015, launching a successful home fitness business, 28 By Sam Wood.<\/p>\n

He reportedly sold it in 2022 for more than $70 million but remained the face of the online platform.<\/p>\n

The platform was rebranded on Thursday as evvr, removing references to Wood.<\/p>\n
