In December 2012, Belinda was officially announced as the Ambassador for the Women's & Children's Hospital Foundation in Adelaide.
Controversy
On 15 February 2011, Heggen received global media attention for a comment made to Ten News presenter Mark Aiston. Aiston reported on the video of the Ashes urn, which featured English cricketer Andrew Strauss posing with the object. The footage went back to the newsroom after the report, showing Aiston telling Heggen "I just can't understand how something so small can be so impressive." to which Heggen replied, "Well, Mark, you would know about that".
Heggen later explained on Adelaide radio station Nova 91.9 that she and Aiston never had any romantic history and that it was a joke. "Those in Adelaide who know Mark Aiston know that he's a practical joker, and a prankster, and he's always cracking jokes and trying to catch us out. So I've always had in my mind a desire to try and catch him, um, and on air no less." she stated.
