Cricketing legend Michael Clarke and television icon Karl Stefanovic were embroiled in a wild fight over cheating claims while holidaying in Noosa.
Shocking vision released by the Daily Telegraph shows Clarke and Stefanovic scuffling in a public park while Jade Yarborough – Clarke’s girlfriend and Stefanovic’s sister-in-law – is heard accusing the former cricket captain of cheating.
“You f**ked her on December 17 … You f**ked her, you’re a f**king dog,” Jade screams.

“No I didn’t,” Clarke retorts back.
She then slapped Clarke, who limps across the park just moments later.
It’s understood Jade was referring to Clarke’s ex – Pip Edwards – when she accused the 41-year-old of infidelity.
Edwards – best known as the founder of athleisure brand P.E Nation – and Clarke got together shortly after his split with ex-wife Kyly Clarke and enjoyed a whirlwind romance.
Stefanovic was caught in the fracas after allegedly jumping to Jade’s defence. The Today show star is married to her sister, Jasmine Yarborough.
The startling video of the fight shows Clarke directing his wrath at Stefanovic after allegedly being hit by the television personality.
“Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don’t you f***ing walk away,” he screams.
“She can. She can punch me. But you, you c**t.”
The two high-profile couples had been dining with a friend at a beachside restaurant in Noosa when the fight broke out.
Clarke and Jade Yarborough had made their official online debut last August, just eight months after Clarke called it quits with fashion designer ex Edwards.
The pair had sparked break-up rumours after going their separate ways over Christmas and New Year’s, with Jade joining Jasmine and Karl for a skiing trip in Aspen while Michael partied it up in Bondi – at an event which ex Pip Edwards also attended.
The Noosa trip appeared to put those rumours to bed after the duo were snapped beachside in the Queensland resort town looking loved up.
Clarke issued a statement to the Daily Telegraph saying he was “shattered” by his actions.
“I accept full responsibility for this altercation,” he said in a statement on Wednesday night.
