A new video shows Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough having what appears to be a tense argument at Anthony Bell’s $10m Noosa mansion, just two days before their blazing brawl at a nearby park.
In the footage, Clarke, 41, looks frustrated as he leans over and speaks to Yarbrough, 30, while she is lying down on an outdoor couch.
He raises his hand, gestures to the house and shakes his head as the pair engage in a heated discussion.
After the couple chat for several minutes, things appear to calm down and the cricketer gently strokes Jade’s face.
The pair also looked frosty and distant on January 8 as they spoke by the pool.
Both dressed in simple black outfits comprising T-shirts and shorts. They may have been crying, but their eyes were concealed behind sunglasses.
At one point, interior designer Yarbrough looked upset as she grilled the former Australian cricket captain while he sat on a pool lounge.
Clarke then took her hand and helped her up from the ground after the serious chat.

The couple were guests at the mansion of celebrity accountant Bell in Noosaville, which has a private sandy beach, 45m frontage and solar-heated infinity pool.
They were staying there while holidaying with Bell, Karl Stefanovic and his wife, Jade’s sister Jasmine Yarbrough.
The new footage suggests things were very strained between Clarke and Yarbrough in the lead-up to their late-night row at a park on January 10, which occurred after dinner with the group at Waterfront Restaurant & Bar.

During that confrontation Yarbrough slapped her boyfriend’s face and accused him of cheating on her with his ex Pip Edwards on December 17.
Yarbrough is now staying at her sister Jasmine’s house in Sydney where she has spent the last two days on the phone to a ‘desperate’ Clarke, who is begging her to take him back.
She has not been seen since footage of the ugly stoush was leaked to the press on Wednesday, but friends say she is ‘distraught and embarrassed’ by the video.
Police have now confirmed they are investigating the stunning confrontation between Clarke and Yarbrough where the shirtless ex-Australian cricket captain was slapped during the blazing row.
‘Queensland Police are investigating an incident between a 30-year-old woman and 41-year-old man depicted in footage at Lions Park on Gympie Terrace in Noosaville earlier this month,’ police said.
Clarke then took her hand and helped her up from the ground after the serious chat
‘As this matter on January 10, 2023 is under investigation the Queensland Police Service is unable to provide any further comment.’
The dramatic footage obtained by The Daily Telegraph shows a shirtless Clarke being screamed at and slapped by his hysterical girlfriend as others in the group try to defuse the fracas.
‘I’m wrong? I’m f**king wrong! You’re a f**king liar. I can see everything. You called her,’ Yarbrough screams.
Clarke tries to reassure Yarbrough he didn’t cheat on her and swears on his young daughter Kelsey Lee’s life he was with Bell on the night in question last month.
‘Baby you’re wrong, you’re wrong,’ he insists.
‘Baby, baby, Belly was at the house. I swear on my life, I swear at my life… That’s not true, it’s not true.’

But Yarbrough doesn’t believe his protests and claims she spoke to Edwards.
‘You’re f**king lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just spoke to her. What is wrong with you?’ she screams.
Clarke replies: ‘It’s not true, it’s not true.’
Stefanovic’s wife Jasmine eventually steps in, grabs her distressed sister by the arm and walks her away.
‘Get away with Karl, go with Karl,’ Jasmine tells Clarke as he unleashes his fury on Stefanovic.
‘Karlos, I can tell you now c**t, don’t you f**king walk away. She can, she can punch me, but you, you c**t,’ Clarke says.

How the drama unfolded when Jade Yarbrough, her sister and brother-in-law Jasmine and Karl Stefanovic and ex-cricketer Michael Clarke’s Noosa getaway ended up in an ugly brawl captured on video in a local park
This comment sparks fury from Jade, who defends her brother-in-law before slapping Clarke in the face.
‘You piece of s**t, don’t you f**king speak to him,’ she yells.
Bell is heard telling the couple to stop, which falls on deaf ears.
‘Go, hit me hit me… do it again, you’re wrong, you’re f**king wrong,’ Clarke tells his girlfriend.
Yarbrough screams: ‘Oh am I wrong? You f**ked her [Edwards] on December 17, you f**ked her… you’re a f**king dog… I’m going to show her every f**king message you ever f**king sent me.’
She then makes reference to a text she saw on Clarke’s phone inviting Edwards to come to India with him.
‘Oh yeah, “You’re the love of my life Pip, come to India,”‘ Yarbrough snarls.
Clarke responds: ‘Don’t ever talk to me again.’
Karl Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine, Jade’s sister, were forced to intervene in the ugly altercation
The two-minute clip ends with Jasmine and Bell separating the feuding couple.
‘Stop, Jade, stop,’ Jasmine pleads, to which Bell adds: ‘Let it go Jade.’
The ugly altercation unfolded in front of young children nearby, according to witnesses.
A remorseful Clarke has taken full responsibility for what happened.
‘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’ he said on Wednesday night.
‘I am shattered that because of my actions I’ve drawn women of class and integrity, and my mates, into this situation.’
His former partner Edwards distanced herself from the ‘debacle’ as she issued a brutal swipe at Clarke.
‘This is not my circus. Yet again, Michael in his true nature has not taken responsibility for his actions and I was blatantly lied to,’ Edwards said in a statement.
The altercation took place just one day after Clarke and Jade silenced recent break-up rumours when they packed on the PDA at Noosa’s Main Beach while on holidays.
A week earlier, Clarke had attended a New Year’s Day bash at Sydney’s Bondi Icebergs alone while Jade was on the other side of the world in Aspen, Colorado, with Jasmine and Karl.
The couple’s separate plans over Christmas and New Year’s sparked speculation the pair had called it quits following a short-lived romance.

Clarke’s relationship with his former partner Edwards began in June 2020, following his split from wife Kyly, which they had announced four months earlier.
He and Edwards had been friends for more than a decade before that, but grew close while working on a fashion project together.
The couple called it quits in December 2021.
A source close to the pair confirmed the split, saying: ‘The decision was mutual. They’re two best friends who decided to part ways as a couple earlier this month, but continue their friendship.’
After their break-up, Edwards had a fling with Bondi restaurateur Cameron Northway for about four months, but that fizzled out and she got back with Michael.
Clarke and Edwards recently attended the New Year’s Day bash at Sydney’s iconic Icebergs.
The batsman was married to former model Kyly Clarke (née Boldy), 40, from 2012 until 2019, but the couple didn’t announce their separation until February 2020.
The Clarkes had kept their separation quiet for several months before she put out a statement on Instagram saying their priority was their daughter.
In a statement at the time, the pair said the ‘amicable’ decision to separate was ‘the best course’ for their daughter.
