Schapelle Corby’s nine years inside Bali’s notorious Kerobokan Prison can only be described as hell. “It took eight months before I was even given a mattress to sleep on,” Schapelle recalls in an exclusive chat with Woman’s Day.
It’s been 15 years since she was convicted of smuggling cannabis to Indonesia in 2005 and all these years later, the 43-year-old reveals she has become something of an expert when it comes to dealing with anguish.
“I take each day as it comes. It’s always in the back of my mind that I need to control my thoughts and I’ve learnt to control the negativity that can come into my head,” she says.
So much so that the Brisbane resident has made the leap to reality TV, joining new Aussie series SAS Australia, where she appears alongside 16 celebrities taking part in a Special Forces selection course that will push them to their absolute mental and physical limits.
REAL & RAW
“It’s not fun, but it’s real – it’s completely real! It’s unscripted. It is a reality show, but ‘reality’ is the operative word,” explains Schapelle, insisting nothing about the programme is manufactured. “There are no lines to rehearse – no acting involved. It was very raw.”
It’s a demanding ask for a woman who spent years confined to a tiny prison cell, eating nutrient-deprived meals with very limited space to exercise. But as she has done for most of her life, Schapelle has defied the odds.
