A west Donegal TV star is facing a court date next month in Australia on domestic violence-related charges.

Nathan Gallagher, a Burtonport native who appears on the reality TV show ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ , is due before a court in New South Wales on September 1.

Gallagher, was arrested just after Christmas 2025 following an alleged incident in the Sydney area on December 26.

About 8.45am on Saturday 27 December 2025, officers from Ryde Police Area Command arrested Gallagher, a 27-year-old, at a unit complex on Appleforth Street, Melrose Park where he was taken to Gladesville Police Station.

Police have confirmed to Donegal Daily that it will be alleged that the man assaulted a 29-year-old woman known to him at the same premises the previous day.

Gallagher has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He has also been charged with intentionally choking a person without consent and with common assault.

There were no reports of any serious injuries being suffered.

An apprehended violence application on behalf of Gael Cameron has since been lodged in court. Gallagher and Cameron – who also appears on ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ have a child together.
