Lara Bingle caught in nude photo scandal

Australian cricketer Michael Clarke's fiancee Lara Bingle has been caught up in an embarrassing scandal involving circulation of a nude photo.

According to Woman's Day, the photograph of Lara, allegedly taken by AFL player Brendan Fevola during their brief fling almost three years ago, is now being distributed among the ranks of Australia's cricket and AFL players.

The steamy photo, taken on a phone camera, shows Lara in the shower.

A footballer who spoke to the magazine confirmed the image had been sent to a number of football players via text message.

"The image is on a lot of people's phones," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted the footballer as saying.

Bingle's friend and Kings Cross nightclub owner John Ibrahim has apparently issued a warning to Fevola to stop circulating the image.

The latest drama follows Bingle's public bust-up with Clarke after last week's Twenty-20 cricket match at the SCG.
