'Home and Away' Dan Ewing charged with assaulting fiancée

Home and Away actor Dan Ewing has been charged with allegedly assaulting his fiancée Marni Little.

The actor, who plays bad boy Heath Braxton on the soap, was said by officers to have left Little "in a distressed state" and "suffering superficial injuries to her arm" when they arrived at the couple's Sydney apartment last Tuesday night (December 6).

When asked to comment yesterday (December 11), Ewing claimed that he and Little have resolved the situation and are still planning on getting married.

"It's a police matter - my fiancée and I are dealing with it and we're still very much in love," he told the Herald Sun. "We haven't been apart since, we're getting married and we're very happy - we're fine."

A spokesperson for the Seven Network, which broadcasts Home and Away in Australia, said: "It's a private matter between Daniel and his fiancee, and the network won't be making any further comment."

Ewing is scheduled to appear in court later this month.

He and Little have been engaged since September.
