Schapelle Corby made a startling admission during the premiere of Seven’s new military reality show, SAS Australia and honestly? It’s terrifying.
The former inmate appeared on the series with a number of other Aussie celebs including Roxy Jacenko, Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins, Candice Warner, Merrick Watts and Jackson Warne.
For those not in the know, the series sees contestants attempt to pass the selection process to join the Australian Army’s elite Special Air Service – no small feat as 95 per cent of those who try, fail.
During her appearance on Monday’s debut, 43-year-old Schapelle Corby explained during a bit of interrogation why the Indonesian jail turned her vegetarian.
She explained that while she was incarcerated, her dad Michael died, triggering years of psychosis.
“I don’t eat meat anymore because my hallucinations were so vivid that I thought I was eating my dad’s human flesh,” she explains during an interrogation.
“I would see visions, I would hallucinate and I wasn’t able to read. Reading really was my saviour before my illness because I would just block everything out and just read. The only way my body could handle it was to hallucinate.”
“I am not fully recovered from it. He (my dad) used to come to visit me a lot. I didn’t think that he would die and I didn’t understand that would be the last time that I would see him,” she added.
Terrifying revelation aside, SAS Australia has been a pretty interesting watch so far thanks to helicopter jumps (backwards) and mano-e-mano boxing matches.
SAS Australia returns tonight, Tuesday 20 October at 7:30pm on Seven.
