Outback Wrangler’s Matt Wright has pleaded not guilty to attempting to pervert the course of justice more than three years after a fatal helicopter crash.

The reality TV star was charged following the crash that killed co-star Chris “Willow” Wilson in February 2022.

Wearing a light blue shirt and blue jeans, Wright appeared calm when he fronted the Supreme Court in Darwin on Monday.

He entered not guilty pleas for three counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice when he was arraigned, kissing his wife during an adjournment.

The 2022 crash in remote West Arnhem Land killed Mr Wilson, with pilot Sebastian Robinson also seriously injured.

The trial is scheduled to begin on Wednesday and is expected to take four weeks, hearing from about 25 witnesses.

Wright rose to fame starring in National Geographic’s “Outback Wrangler” and the Netflix series “Wild Croc Territory”.
