Michael Clarke showed off his toned figure to ex-girlfriend Jade Yarbrough on Tuesday as rumors claim the tumultuous couple have rekindled their spark.
The former cricket captain, 42, shared a sponsored black and white picture on his Instagram Stories in which he stripped naked to flex his muscles at a spa.
Covered in a mask and headband, the radio host showed off his toned abs and bulging biceps in a cryotherapy capsule at Body WRL in Rosebery.
In the artistic photo, Michael kept his head bowed while hugging his bare torso to keep warm in the cold air that surrounded him.
The retired athlete’s apparent “thirst trap” comes as rumors start circulating that he is back with his ex-girlfriend Jade.

They have been on and off since ending their relationship earlier this year after a wild row in Noosa that made headlines across Australia.
Now Michael and the socialite have reignited rumors that they are back together after they both attended a Melbourne Derby Day afterparty at Bar Bambi.

An insider told Chron Australia that Jade sat with friends in a booth at the exclusive Italian restaurant and bar while Michael celebrated on the floor above.
Michael attended Derby Day at Flemington Racecourse with Tabcorp, while Jade was in town from Sydney to enjoy the exclusive after parties.
A source close to the couple tried to refute rumors that they were back together, saying the two went to the Bar Bambi party separately and were “friendly.”
Jade spoke to Michael for some time at the start of the party and then at the end of the night.
Rumors that Michael and Jade were back together only sparked rumors a few weeks ago when they both attended a Melbourne Derby Day afterparty at Bar Bambi but avoided being pictured together

At this party she met her love rival Pip Edwards.

The couple, who both dated former cricketer Michael, undoubtedly found the altercation very uncomfortable.
Michael, Jade and Pip hit the headlines earlier this year after a now-infamous melee in Noosa involving Jade that cornered her brother-in-law, Today show host Karl Stefanovic.
In the video, which was filmed by a viewer and later sold to The Daily Telegraph for a reported $10,000, Jade accused Clarke of cheating on her with his former designer Pip Edwards on December 17.
When Michael, Karl, his wife Jasmine and their sister Jade had dinner at a beachside restaurant with accountant Anthony Bell, all hell broke loose.
The video began with Jade shouting at Michael before punching him in the face and pushing him away after the cricketer insisted he had not cheated on her.
He was also accused of messaging the co-founder of activewear label PE Nation and confessing she was the “love of his life”.

Earlier this year, Michael humbly apologized to those involved in the incident at the time and admitted it was all his fault.
“I take full responsibility for this dispute and am shocked by my actions,” he said.
“I am absolutely disappointed that I have put the people I value most in this position.”
“My actions leading up to this altercation were nothing short of shameful and regrettable.”
“I am shocked that my actions have dragged women of class and integrity and my friends into this situation.”
The trio hit the headlines earlier this year when an infamous scuffle broke out in Noosa involving Clarke’s on-again, off-again girlfriend Jade and whose brother-in-law, now Karl Stefanovic, was cornered
