Who is Lara Bingle?

Lara Bingle was born in 1987 in Cronulla, New South Wales, Australia. She is a model and reality TV show contestant. She 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 her notoriety, later that year she competed on the 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. In May 2006, Lara took legal action against EMAP Australia, who allegedly published photographs of the model without her permission in the March 27th 2006 issue of Australian lad's magazine Zoo Weekly. She 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. The shots were taken when she was seventeen.
