Police yesterday charged Mr Wood with the domestic violence offence of assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation in a domestic setting.

He was refused bail after his arrest.

The 46-year-old Victorian appeared in the Maroochydore Magistrates Court this morning, by video link from the local police watch house.

He has been remanded in custody and is due to return to the court on Thursday afternoon.

Mr Wood's lawyer, Mathew Cuskelly, told the court he would make a bail application for his client at that appearance.

He said he would tender material relating to the charges before then.

Mr Wood found fame on the 2015 season of The Bachelor and has since become the face of a home fitness program.

The same statement was also shared on Mr Wood's personal and business social media pages.
