Schapelle Corby to star in reality show
Convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby is putting her notorious prison stint to use by signing onto a reality TV show.
It’s been six years since Corby was released from prison.
The 43-year-old will appear on Channel 7 action show SAS Australia.
The program is new to Australian screens, based off a UK action contest where contestants undergo boot camps similar to ones the Special Air Service experience.
Ex-special forces soldiers will be hosting the challenges and they will not be informed on who the celebrities are exactly.
Rugby star Nick Cummins, former iron woman Candice Warner and PR queen Roxy Jacenko will also be joining Corby.
“We go into the SAS as a number, not a name, which is significant for me because I won’t be Schapelle Corby, I will just be a human being,” Corby said.
“I think I’ll discover that I’m stronger than I am, that I think I am. I’m hoping to discover life and to discover myself.”
Corby was convicted for smuggling 4.2kg of marijuana into Indonesia in a boogie board bag.
She spent nine years behind bars in Bali.
Corby has maintained a high profile social media presence since she was released from the Balinese prison.
