Channel Seven has agreed not to air footage of Simon Gittany taken on his approach to court by a Today Tonight crew who ambushed him on Friday.

Mr Gittany is on trial in the NSW Supreme Court, accused of throwing his Canadian-born fiancee Lisa Harnum off the balcony of a Sydney high rise after she tried to leave him in July two years ago.

The accused says he tried to save the former ballerina when she fell from the 15th floor of the unit they shared opposite Hyde Park.

The television crew allegedly approached Mr Gittany and his girlfriend with a microphone and asked him a series of questions on Friday.
