Host Ryan Phelan dumped from Channel 7 after assault charge
Channel 7 presenter Ryan Phelan will leave the network sooner than expected after he was charged with allegedly assaulting his partner at their Manly home.
Phelan, the frontman for The Daily Edition afternoon show which was to end on Friday, will appear in court next week.
"Ryan Phelan won't be returning to Seven," Sunrise newsreader Natalie Barr reported on Tuesday.
"The network was unaware of the incident until notified last night."
The Daily Telegraph reported the former Cleo Bachelor of the Year was charged over the alleged assault after voluntarily going to Manly police station on Monday night.
He's been charged with assault occasioning bodily harm.
It was announced late last week that Phelan's program The Daily Edition was being axed.
Phelan began dating his current partner in 2018, after a relationship with former escort Samantha X.
