Former television host and courtroom “frequent flyer” Andrew O’Keefe will remain in custody, with a magistrate saying it is “the best thing to do” following his latest arrest. The 52-year-old’s bail has been revoked, days after a reported drug overdose. He was arrested on Monday after emergency services responded to an incident at a home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs on Saturday. O’Keefe was charged with drug possession after police searched a nearby car and allegedly found methamphetamine.

“If he wants to stay alive that’s the best thing to do,” Milledge said. O’Keefe’s lawyer suggested a possible application for release on the next occasion for O’Keefe to receive treatment but Milledge said “a “highly persuasive” argument would be required. O’Keefe’s frequent appearances in court are “absolutely tragic” and “very, very sad,” the magistrate said. “He’s a frequent flyer, he’s just so used to it,” she said.
