Chk Chk Boom girl Clare Werbeloff gets TV gig with Channel Nine's The Real Hustle

INFAMY is an odd game, one that often delivers respect and ridicule in equal measure. In the case of Clare Werbeloff - of "chk chk boom" fame - it can also facilitate a TV career.

This week, Channel Nine blows the dust off The Real Hustle, a British format it localised and shot last year, soon after Werbeloff duped the network (and a slew of Australians) into believing her tale about "fat and skinny wogs" shooting at each other in Kings Cross.

It must be said that the local version relies heavily on clips from the aforementioned British series, as well as from the subsequent American format, which was shot in and around New York.

Werbeloff's move into serialised television is fitting, The Real Hustle is an exploration of cons and scams shot with hidden cameras.

And, although many will wail at her 15 minutes of fame being extended, Werbeloff proves surprisingly honest in her appreciation of the offer.

"I am very lucky to be given this opportunity. Yes, TV is something I'd always wanted to get into but, as everyone knows, it's very hard to get your foot in the door," she told Insider.

Werbeloff is also adamant the various scams she is shown performing in the show - hosted by Gyton Grantley - were new to her.

"I knew none of these; they were definitely scams I had to learn for the show. Shooting this was the most fun I've ever had in my whole entire life," she says.

"I worked with people (namely "honest conman" Nicholas J Johnson and magician Adam Mada) who were hilarious, and we all had a great time."

The 20 year-old has spent the 12 months since The Real Hustle was filmed travelling through Bali and New Zealand, and will soon embark on a presenting course with NIDA. "I want to be on Getaway - who doesn't, right? But we'll see what happens with The Real Hustle. Hopefully it does well, as it's up to its ninth series in the US and the UK," she says.

We'll see.

The Real Hustle makes its debut on Tuesday at 9pm on Nine.

Does anyone who the hot blonde is in this video?

I know I've seen her in something else before. Even just her name would be helpful!

The short film by Gaby Dabscheck is entitled The Witness and is about a guy who becomes addicted to the media after witnessing a shark attack at Bondi Beach and Werbeloff plays his girlfriend. Ho ho! Get it? The finalists for TropFest have not been decided yet, so there's no guarantee that her acting debut will go public.

Today is the final day to get entries in for TropFest, the largest short film festival in the world.
