Lara Bingle (born 1987, Cronulla, New South Wales) is an Australian model who is best known for appearing on Fingal Spit in the controversial 2006 Tourism Australia advertising campaign So where the bloody hell are you?, where she delivers this final line in the television commercial.

Well, that doesn’t help much. Oh here’s some more…

Lara Bingle’s reputation was built on the persona of her being the “Girl Next Door”, but recent scandals involving Brendan Fevola and Michael Clarke (who?) have tarnished her once immaculate reputation.

Melbourne’s Channel Seven news reported that Bingle was the ‘other woman’ involved in the breakdown of Brendan Fevola’s marriage. At the time Brendan’s first child with his wife was only 5 months old. Bingle herself has denied that this is the case. The credibility of Bingle’s public denial however was dented with the release of a voicemail message sent to Fevola allegedly by Bingle on 11 December 2006 a day before the story broke in the media. More revelations against Bingle emerged in subsequent days, giving further details of her relationship with Fevola which included a final phone confrontation between Bingle and Fevola’s wife.

On 8 January 2007 reports had said that Bingle had a private party with Australian cricketer Michael Clarke over the previous weekend, just after the Australian team’s private victory party. Further revelations on 10 January 2007, in Sydney tabloid The Daily Telegraph, indicated Bingle may have been involved with Clarke as early as September 2006, leading to speculation she was the catalyst in the relationship breakdown between Clarke and childhood sweetheart, Erina-Lea Connelly, who moved out of Clarke’s Sutherland Shire house at the end of 2006. Bingle partnered Clarke to the Allan Border Medal night on 5 February 2007.

Following the revelations of Bingle’s relationships with Fevola and Clarke, it was revealed on 12 January 2007 that Bingle will be replaced as the ‘Face of Australian Tourism’ by Bindi Irwinwith Bingle relegated to a minor role.

Oh, she’s a slut. Okay - that’s cool!
