Lara Worthington[1] (née Bingle) (born 22 June 1987) is an Australian model and media personality.

[2] Her own reality television series, Being Lara Bingle, premiered on Network Ten in June 2012, ending after one season.

[12] In December 2011, it was announced that Worthington had signed a development deal with Network Ten to star in her own reality television series.

[13] The series Being Lara Bingle premiered on 12 June 2012 to over 925,000 viewers, exceeding expectations, but met with mixed reviews from critics, resulting in the show only lasting one season.

[22] On 10 January 2007, Sydney tabloid The Daily Telegraph stated that Bingle and Australian cricketer Michael Clarke were in a relationship.

[28] In May 2006, Bingle (now Worthington) took legal action against EMAP Australia, which had allegedly published photographs of the model without her permission in the 27 March 2006 issue of Australian men's magazine Zoo Weekly.

[33] This raised considerable controversy because Worthington would discuss for profit a matter she considered serious enough to sue over and from which she claimed to be hurt.

[34][35] While driving with a suspended licence in Bondi, New South Wales, on 14 May 2012, Worthington was involved in a traffic incident with a female motorcyclist and fled the scene without exchanging details with the injured rider.

Appearing in Waverley Court on 18 September 2012, Worthington was fined $3,500 and received a further 12-month driving ban and an 18-month good behaviour bond.
