Lara Bingle slams critics of weight gain

Lara Bingle has hit back at people criticising her body.

The Australian swimwear model, who took part in the most recent series of Dancing with the Stars, said that she can "never win" with the media because they either say that she is too skinny or too large.

EatFitFood.com.au ambassador Bingle told the Herald Sun: "You can never win. It is unfortunate that I'm their topic of being fat this week; maybe in a few weeks I will be too thin.

"I've never been that thin thin girl, I have curves, boobs and an arse, that's my job, I'm a swimwear model. I don't not eat. I love my food."

Bingle added: "Everything seems to go hand in hand, having a boyfriend or not having a boyfriend, then there is trouble when you have a boyfriend and trouble when you don't, and who is the next boyfriend. I guess it is the same with the weight."

Bingle added that she is happily single at the moment after splitting from cricketer Michael Clarke last year and more recently from rugby player Danny Cipriani. She was also romantically linked to singer Jason Derulo earlier this year, but said that they are "great friends" and they "speak every day".
