A Queensland court has heard claims that former Bachelor star Sam Wood used drugs and alcohol, engaged in a “party lifestyle” and that he “struggles with anger”, as Wood makes a second bid for bail on domestic violence charges.

Wood, 46, from Melbourne, has been held in custody since his arrest on 4 October at Noosa.

He was initially denied bail over allegations he choked and assaulted his wife, Snezana Wood, while the family was holidaying on the Sunshine Coast.
