'I did this for myself': Schapelle Corby shuts down Sam Armytage for asking why she's pursuing a reality TV career in a VERY awkward Sunrise interview
As one of Australia's most infamous jailbirds, convicted Bali drug smuggler Schapelle Corby is no stranger to answering tricky questions from journalists.
And the 43-year-old certainly put Sunrise host Sam Armytage in her place during an extremely awkward interview on Monday morning.
The Gold Coast native appeared via video link to discuss her upcoming appearance on Channel Seven's military-style reality series SAS Australia.

After a few softball questions, things took a turn when Sam bluntly asked Schapelle: 'What do you say to people that are surprised that you want to pursue a TV career?'
Shutting down the question, Schapelle declared: 'Nothing, it's all about my own self. I did this for myself.'
Appearing momentarily taken aback, Sam curtly replied: 'Fair enough.'

The former beautician, who served nine years in Bali's Kerobokan Prison for marijuana smuggling, has previously spoken about her intentions for going on the show, telling Perth Now she wasn't doing reality TV to win over the public.
'I don't care what people think of me. I hope people enjoy it, but this is for me. I'm doing this so I know I'm in control of my mind,' she said in August.
Schapelle, who was released from jail in 2014, added: 'We go into 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.'
