Schapelle Corby: ‘I had a hard time with the body contact!'

She’s been through the worst of the worst, spending nine years in Bali’s notorious Kerobokan prison and pushing herself to the limits on SAS Australia last year, but Schapelle Corby still says her experience on DWTS has been the most difficult.

“I did think at one point, ‘What the hell have I signed up for?’ I didn’t think it was going to be that hard,” she tells Woman’s Day.

“There was so much body contact. I don’t like people touching me, so that was an issue I had to overcome. I really struggled with that in the first few weeks.”
