Clarke and Yarbrough return to the scene of holiday blow up

Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough have been spotted holidaying at the location they had a very public blow up in January, with the former cricket captain cheekily referencing the viral incident.

Out of all the places to take a holiday, Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough have returned to the very spot that their personal lives were up-ended.

Clarke and Yarbrough are both holidaying in Noosa, where they were at the centre of a very public blow up in January.

While speculation has continued as to whether or not the pair had reconciled, The Daily Telegraph can confirm they have told friends they are “definitely no longer together”.

Interior designer Jade was snapped enjoying family time at the beach with sister Jasmine and brother-in-law Karl Stefanovic at the weekend.

Clarke meanwhile flew north to Queensland from Sydney with daughter Kelsey Lee for a school holiday break with his sister, Leanne, and her family.

“Back in Noosa, a little more wholesome this time,” Clarke wrote on Instagram, sharing a happy snap at a hotel with his family.
Candice Warner, married to cricketer David Warner, is among Clarke’s celebrity friends to have liked the post on Instagram. Others praised the cricket great’s sense of humour.

Nova radio host Tim Blackwell commented: “Still shirtless though mate?”

“OMG this caption is everything”, wrote a follower named Kelly while Nic added: “Keep it down to a dull roar ok?!!”

Clarke, 42, held a belated birthday celebration on-board a luxury yacht on Sydney Harbour at the weekend.

Friends say a bevy of young women were on hand for the party that went until the very early hours of Saturday morning.

Yarbrough meanwhile held a more subdued low-key 31st birthday celebration over dinner at Bondi Icebergs with a small group of friends on Thursday night.

It is understood to be the first time both Clarke and Yarbrough have been in Noosa at the same time since the fracas in January that made national headlines and led to their break-up.

Stefanovic has returned to Sydney to work while sisters Jasmine and Jade remain in the popular beachside holiday destination.

She has kept a low profile since the January blow-up, when Clarke was accused of cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend, fashionista Pip Edwards.

Clarke has denied the allegation.

An onlooker released expletive-ridden footage of the incident, where Clarke could be seen shirtless limping in a park surrounded by a group trying to calm the situation.

Stefanovic and his wife, Jasmine, were there and it is understood the alleged affair ended Clarke’s friendship with the Today host.

At the time, Clarke said: “I’m absolutely gutted I’ve put people I hold in the highest regard in this position. My actions in the lead-up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable. I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation. I own this fully and am the only one at fault.”

Onlookers also claimed to see Stefanovic and Clarke engage in a heated exchange on the night.

It was Stefanovic that introduced Clarke and Yarbrough, who were regulars on the Sydney social scene before their break-up.

Queensland Police fined the pair $862, or $431 each, as they were issued Public Nuissance Infringement Notices for their parts in the wild row.
