Australian cricket vice-captain Michael Clarke is reportedly considering ending his relationship with Lara Bingle because she had signed an exclusive tell-all nude photo scandal deal with a women's magazine, it has emerged.

According to sources, the cricketer was less concerned about the resurfacing of a topless photo of Bingle than he was that the interview would rake over her relationship with AFL bad boy Brendan Fevola.

Bingle was snapped without her 4.7-carat engagement ring amid negotiations with Clarke about how to break off their partnership.

"It's certainly heading that way," News.com.au quoted a source close to Clarke as saying. (ANI)
