Notorious party boy Corey Worthington returns to screens in new car insurance advert

He became a global sensation after throwing an out-of-control party at his parents’ house in Melbourne in 2008.

And now, Corey Worthington has returned to TV screens in a new home insurance advertisement for ShareCover.

The now 30-year-old is promoting insurance for damage to property and contents from guests having parties in the home.

‘I’m Corey Worthington but you can call me Corey trust Worthington because I’m a changed man,’ he said.

‘I’ve left all that behind and that’s why ShareCover has asked me to be your guide to help protect your holiday home from harm.’ 

Corey sprang to national attention in 2008 when he threw a wild party at his parents’ home in suburban Melbourne when he was just 16 years old.

After publicising the event on Myspace, a reported 500 revellers turned up and the carnage that ensued attracted police helicopters and the dog squad to the property.

Two days later, a video was uploaded to YouTube of an interview Corey did with A Current Affair about the party and its aftermath.

‘Why don’t you take your glasses off so we can see you,’ interviewer Leila McKinnon asked. 

‘Nah, nah, I’ll leave these on. I like them,’ he replied.

While he did say he was sorry, he added: ‘I can’t be exactly blamed for everything that happened, it wasn’t in the house, it was out on the street and I didn’t do it.

‘The police said stay inside so you won’t get in trouble, and I did what he said, so…’

As Leila pushed him to apologise further and show his face, he added: ‘I’ll say sorry, but I’m not taking off my glasses…’ 

After finding fame in 2008, Corey starred on Big Brother season eight later that year.

In 2018, he returned to reality television on the second season of Australian Ninja Warrior, debuting his muscular physique.
