The Seven Network has rallied behind Todd McKenney, saying his judging position on Dancing With The Stars is safe despite drugs charges against him.
McKenney, who also co-hosts a breakfast radio show on Mix 106.5 FM, was charged with drug possession after he was found unconscious in Sydney's Rushcutter's Bay park on Friday afternoon.
Amid speculation that McKenney's position as a judge on the reality TV dancing show could be cut, Seven on Tuesday insisted it was standing by McKenney.
A Seven spokeswoman said McKenney was already involved in pre-production for the show, due to return in the second half of the year.
She said that reports he would not rejoin the hit dancing show were "wrong".
"We feel for Todd and what he is going through here, which is obviously a very tough time," the Seven spokeswoman told AAP on Tuesday.
"He's a valued member of our team and we're looking forward to getting down to work on the next project together."
Seven also hosed down rumours that one of the heads of Dancing With The Stars had bailed out on a meeting with McKenney on Monday, saying there was never any meeting.
"That's absolute rubbish," the spokeswoman said.
McKenney, the original Boy from Oz star, has vowed to fight the charges, saying his drink was spiked.
Reports have claimed he had up to 10 doses of the illegal drug GHB, or fantasy on him when he was found and had been partying until the early hours of the morning.
McKenney had been expected to do an interview with Today Tonight but backed out because his lawyers advised against it.
The Seven spokeswoman on Tuesday said there was no McKenney interview in the Today Tonight line-up in the short term.
McKenney is set to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on May 16.
