Biography |
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.
Because of Bingle's notoriety, later that year she 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 of the above ad for their own ad for
the 2006-2007 Ashes series.
She is currently participating in the tour of the UK version
of the show.
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, knowledge of nude photographs by
celebrity photographer Gavin O'Neill on a German GQ Magazine
website surfaced, resulting in a surge of Australian hits to
the inundated site. Bingle's representatives claim O'Neill
misused the shot(s), taken when she was 17. O'Neill suggests
the photographs were taken on the foundation of selling them
to the European market. With suggestion of more photos to be
made public soon, Zoo Weekly are using these photographs as
evidence against the controversial model.
On September 28, 2006 Bingle appeared on the AFL The Footy
Show's Grand Final episode during the player revue. 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, after months
of internet speculation that they began their relationship
on the night of the Grand Final episode. At the time
Brendan's first child with his wife was only 5 months old.
Bingle herself has denied that this is the case, claiming
that the pair only met during their appearance on the Footy
Show and nowhere else. 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. Bingle has since 'fled' her Sydney home and
is currently 'in hiding, far away from Sydney' - speculated
to be the northern NSW town of Tamworth, the home of her
parents. |
