Michael Clarke's girlfriend accidentally flashes side-boob on double date
Michael Clarke has stepped out with his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne on a romantic date – but photos show the 33-year-old suffered an unfortunate wardrobe mishap during the outing.
The former captain of the Australian cricket squad and his younger girlfriend, who is 11 years his junior, were spotted at the exclusive Mimis restaurant in Coogee.
While Clarke opted for a black long-sleeve jumper and matching shorts for the occasion, Ms Sherborne went for a sleeveless twill bodysuit with a plunging neckline.
She paired the $1150 grey wool top with a pair of matching pants, which also cost $1150, as well as some dark sunnies and a black YSL handbag.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't turn it on for the romantic excursion.
As the loved-up pair snatched a kiss outside the popular beachside Merivale venue, Ms Sherborne's expensive outfit – made by Australian designer Christopher Esber – appeared to show off more than intended.
Snaps show the top, which is cut in a V at the front that finishes at the navel, gaping in the wind – accidentally flashed a cheeky glimpse of side-boob.
Judging from Clarke and Ms Sherborne's smiles, the wardrobe malfunction didn't deter their date – which took place with Sydney socialite Dina Broadhurst and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Winning Appliances heir, John Winning.
The foursome were seen enjoying a long lunch together at the trendy beachside eatery, owned by restaurateur Justin Hemmes.
Broadhurst opted for a grey miniskirt for the double date while Winning went for a casual look, wearing navy pants and a blue hoodie.
The sighting comes after Broadhurst reportedly 'split' from her rumoured ex, 23-year-old model Kengi Meert.
Clarke began dating Ms Sherborne, a leasing executive with Scentre Group, after his tumultuous relationship with Jade Yarbrough came to an end.
Their romance first went public after being spotted on a holiday to the Gold Coast together in June last year.
His prior relationship with Yarbrough was thrust into the spotlight in January 2023 when footage of the pair in a public spat went viral.
The wild fracas that unfolded in Noosa on January 10 saw Clarke slapped across the face as he was accused of cheating.
Yarbrough blasted Clarke about his alleged infidelities with his ex Pip Edwards on December 17, claims the skipper initially denied before appearing to later indicate it was true.
The fight began when Clarke, Jade, Karl Stefanovic, Jasmine Yarbrough and their celebrity accountant mate Anthony Bell were at dinner at a beachside restaurant.
It's understood Clarke's celebrity fashion designer ex-Edwards and Jade had been in contact, sparking the confrontation between Clarke and Jade.
Edwards, who dated the former cricketer from mid-2020 to late-2021, released a statement condemning the 41-year-old's actions.
It's not the first time the former cricket sensation's love life has played out in the public eye.
Clarke and his former partner Lara Bingle were once the 'Posh and Becks' of Australia after their love affair blossomed in 2007.
The two split in 2010, not long after a photo taken by AFL star Brendan Fevola showing the model in the shower was leaked.
Bingle would later say that splitting from Clarke was 'the best thing' she ever did.
Clarke found love again, marrying Kyly Boldy in the Blue Mountains in 2012.

The secret to making the smoothest hot chocolate at home this winter
One of Australia's top chocolatiers reveals the one step you cannot skip when making a velvety cup. It's hot chocolate season; the drink as decadent as a velvet suit. But with so many options – from powders to syrups – how do we master a creamy cup to rival Parisian cafes? What's the difference? 'There's basically three types of chocolate that we drink; drinking chocolate, cocoa and cacao,' says Casey Castro, founder of Casa del Cacao ceremonial drinking cacao. 'Cacao is the original bean in its purest form – [it's] minimally processed, rich in antioxidants and deeply nourishing,' she says. A block of pure cacao is made from fermented and dried beans and then ground into a rich velvety paste, with the grated or powdered result used for making drinks that can be incorporated into spiritual or ceremonial practices, Castro says. Cocoa – which is the powder that we use in cooking – is very versatile, and is often roasted at high heat and stripped of its natural fats or the cacao butter. Drinking chocolate, Castro says, can be anything from cocoa powders with added sugar, milk solids and flavours, to finely grated pieces of chocolate, or even syrups. As top Australian chocolatier and director of Savour School, Kirsten Tibballs, explains: 'There's variations on that too. If you're lucky you'll get a ganache-based hot chocolate, and the Italian style often has starch to thicken it even more.' According to Tibballs, ganache bases (see below) make the smoothest kind of hot chocolate and are best made of melted chocolate pieces. They're thick and velvety with extra milk or cream for serving, and it's this kind that the expert seeks out when in Paris, heading to destinations such as Angelina or Ladurée for her fix. How to make the best at home 'Melting some very good quality chocolate pieces is the best way to get a delicious result,' Tibballs says. She's not fussy on type (milk or dark), but advocates for the best within your budget, and suggests checking the ingredients. 'If it says vegetable oil or vegetable fat, put it back! If it says cocoa butter, it'll be brilliant for hot chocolate.' Then it's time to make a ganache base. 'Warm a little milk or cream [of your choice] until hot and pour it over that finely chopped chocolate. Then you'll need to emulsify it – mix it thoroughly – to a thick paste,' Tibballs says. After that, simply add warm milk or cream as you like. But it's that ganache starting point that's all-important for a smooth finish. After that, simply add warm milk or cream as you like. But it's that ganache starting point that's all-important for a smooth finish, allowing the chocolate to blend completely and thoroughly with the milk to avoid any chocolatey lumps. It's the same with ceremonial cacao, with initial emulsification the non-negotiable step. 'Pour some warmed milk of your choice over grated cacao and blitz it with a stick blender for the smoothest result,' says Castro, adding that cacao won't melt the same way chocolate does, so needs that extra blitz. Tibballs explains that adding a little liquid to begin with to create the ganache, before adding more, is essential. 'Chocolate doesn't contain water, so when you initially add liquid to it – like hot milk – and give it a good stir before you add the rest, it brings it together. If you add it all at once, it won't become smooth and no one likes lumpy hot chocolate.' Serving suggestion For a lush, French-style experience, Tibballs recommends serving your hot chocolate in a pot with extra cream on the side. 'You can self-dose,' she laughs. She's also enthusiastic about extra chocolate toppings and marshmallows: 'Give them a moment so they melt a bit.' For Castro, ceremonial hot chocolate is about self-nourishment as well as decadence. She recommends setting an intention to acknowledge the moment. 'Cacao is full of 'bliss' compounds like [the neurotransmitter] anandamide,' so lean in to that mindset. The takeaway Make sure you mix well, starting with a ganache base Use your milk of choice (or non-dairy mylk such as almond or soy drinks), but start with a small amount Choose chocolate with high cocoa butter content, not vegetable oil Don't be afraid to make the moment special or add decadent toppings Smooth hot chocolate recipe INGREDIENTS 100g chocolate of your choice (I like 50:50 milk and dark), finely grated 100ml cream 200ml milk To serve 100ml thickened cream, whipped marshmallows, optional 2 tbsp grated chocolate, to garnish METHOD Chop your chocolate finely and add it to a jug or bowl suitable for mixing. In a small saucepan, gently warm your milk and cream together until hot but not boiling. Pour ⅓ cup of the hot milk and cream mix over the chopped chocolate and whisk thoroughly to create a smooth ganache. Once there are no lumps and it's velvety smooth, pour in the rest of the warm milk mix, whisking as you go for a nice, smooth finish. Pour into two cups and serve with a marshmallow on top and a scattering of extra grated chocolate. Serve with whipped cream on the side. Note: You can multiply the recipe for larger batches and use any milk/mylk or cream you prefer. Opt for chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content. Avoid chocolate that contains vegetable oil.

Amazon doco 'cathartic' for CA after Sandpapergate
The door remains ajar for another season of the hit series, The Test, that Prime Video believes was "cathartic" for Cricket Australia following Sandpapergate. Launching amid the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, The Test gave viewers a raw, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Australian men's cricket team's road to redemption. The previous season was released in 2024, focusing on the eventful 2023 Ashes showdown in England. Prime Video have "nothing to announce" about a potential season four, but The Test remains a much-loved program of their stable of original content. The first season was all about Australia attempting to recover from the 2018 ball-tampering scandal that rocked cricket. Justin Langer was installed as the new coach, while star batters Steve Smith and David Warner served one-year bans until returning for the 2019 ODI World Cup. "It was almost cathartic, I think, for Cricket Australia, and we were privileged to be able to capture that within the documentary, and offer it to the public," Prime Video Sport's managing director Alex Green told AAP. "It was just one of those fortuitous moments when I think the sport (and CA), as well as we wanted to bring something that was a big change in the way cricket, and perhaps sport, generally, had been watched before." Since launching The Test, Prime Video won the rights to broadcast all ICC events into Australia until 2027. The World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa, starting at Lord's on Wednesday, will be shown exclusively on Prime Video in Australia. When the deal was announced, it was a dramatic change to how viewers had experienced world cups and international tournaments. "We've faced this multiple times," Green said of the public reaction to watching sport on a service that wasn't free-to-air or traditional pay-TV. "For the very first Premier League (EPL) deal, we were then going to be the third broadcaster of Premier League in the UK. "In reality, because the reach of Amazon Prime is so vast, it's on the way to being free-to-air. "We don't see ourselves, and generally, the public don't see us as another sports subscription service, we're something much wider than that." Amazon have also been linked to the NRL, with Australian Rugby League Commission Peter V'landys currently negotiating the next broadcast deal. When the AFL's last TV contract was struck back in 2022, Prime Video were also reported as being interested in the rights. "We don't speculate on specific future rights," Prime Video's Australia and New Zealand head of content Alexandra Gilbert told AAP. "We're building that groundswell around cricket, and then NBA, so that's where we're focused now. "We're always assessing opportunities to add value for Prime members. "Absolutely we'd love to do another version of The Test, whether it's with a different sport, or something that resonates strongly, but what that is is sort of TBD (to-be-determined)." The AFL documentary, Making Their Mark, which followed some players, coaches and administrators during the COVID-affected 2020 season was also a Prime Video original. This AAP article was made possible by support from Amazon Prime Video, which is broadcasting the World Test Championship final.
