Andrew O'Keefe faces big problem in jail The former TV presenter was arrested for breaching bail He is behind bars until at least October 10 READ MORE: How a trip to Thailand could save Andrew O'Keefe By Brett Lackey and Steve Jackson For Daily Mail Australia Published: 09:05, 28 September 2024 | Updated: 09:12, 28 September 2024 e-mail 3 View comments Fallen TV star Andrew O'Keefe's fame could make him 'vulnerable' inside jail with inmates possibly targetting him for their personal gain , according to an expert. O'Keefe is behind bars at the Metropolitan Remand Centre at Sydney's notorious Silverwater jail after he was charged with breaching bail and drug possession when police allegedly found methamphetamine in his car on September 16 as he reported to Sydney 's Rose Bay police station as part of previous bail conditions. The 52-year-old had just two days earlier survived a heroin overdose when he was revived by paramedics at a home in Vaucluse in the early hours of Saturday morning and treated at St Vincent's Hospital.
The father-of-three will remain behind bars until at least October 10 when he is set to front court on the drug charge as well as recent intimidation and AVO breach charges. His lawyer indicated he might use that hearing to make an application for release subject to the availability of a rehabilitation spot, but Magistrate Jacqueline Milledge replied that he'd already 'been there, done that'. O'Keefe was one of Channel 7's biggest stars as host of Deal or No.
