Lara Bingle (born 5 June 1987, Yowie Bay, 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. Lara started her career in modeling when she was 16 and spent some time in Milan and Hong Kong. She became famous when she appeared on Fingal Spit in the controversial 2006 Tourism Australia advertising campaign called "So where the bloody hell are you?" where she said this line in the end of the commercial. That's why she is also known as "Lara Bloody Bingle". Some pictures of her in the period when she wasn't a model appeared in the Australian lady's magazine Zoo Weekly and she sued them because she didn't allow them to publish that photos. Lara lives at home in southern Sydney with her parents Sharon and Graham and her older brother Josh. In the same year she participated at the Nine Network's celebrity ice dancing show Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice and she was eliminated the 6th. She also took part at the 2006-2007 Ashes series and in Melbourne Footy Show's Grand Final episode on the 28th of September 2006. Bingle competed on the Nine Network's celebrity ice dancing show Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice, where she was eliminated 6th, and in the channel's parody ad for the 2006-2007 Ashes series. In May 2006, Bingle took legal action against EMAP Australia, who allegedly published photographs of the model without her permission in the March 27, 2006 issue of Australian lad's mag Zoo Weekly. Bingle claims that the magazine defamed her by implying she consented to pose for the magazine, which used photographs that were shot when she was an unknown model. In late March 2007, nude photographs taken by celebrity photographer Gavin O'Neill appeared on the website of German GQ Magazine. Bingle's representatives claimed O'Neill misused the shots, taken when she was 18. O'Neill claimed the photographs were taken for the European market. On September 28, 2006 Bingle appeared on the AFL The Footy Show's Grand Final episode. On 12 December 2006 Melbourne's Channel Seven news reported that Bingle was the 'other woman' involved in the breakdown of Carlton AFL player Brendan Fevola's marriage. At the time Brendan's first child was 5 months old. Bingle claimed that the pair met during their appearance on the Footy Show and nowhere else. The credibility of Bingle's public denial was dented with the release of a voicemail message allegedly sent to Fevola by Bingle on 11 December 2006 a day before the story broke in the media. Further details of Bingle's relationship with Fevola emerged, including a final phone confrontation between Bingle and Fevola's wife. On 8 January 2007 reports said that Bingle had a private party with Australian cricketer Michael Clarke over the previous weekend, after the Australian team's private victory party. On 10 January 2007, Sydney tabloid The Daily Telegraph indicated that Bingle may have been involved with Clarke as early as September 2006. On 25 March 2008 it was announced that the pair are engaged after Clarke proposed in New York's Central Park. Following the revelation of Bingle's relationships with Fevola and Clarke, Bingle was replaced as the 'Face of Australian Tourism' by Bindi Irwin with Bingle relegated to a minor role. |
