Schapelle Corby back in the spotlight

Schapelle Corby is set to return to the spotlight, this time for another Aussie reality show that is much different from SAS Australia.

The convicted drug smuggler, 43, is reportedly going to be a “wildcard contestant” on the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars.

The only stars that we know are joining the show so far are Home and Away actress Ada Nicodemou, former Daily Edition host Tom Williams and Fox FM radio presenter Fifi Box.

While that is all the details we have at the moment, other rumoured celebrities to be joining are Luke Jacobz, Lincoln Lewis, Bec Hewitt and Erin McNaught.

Fifi Box opened up on joining the show, and joked that she “hasn’t left this chair” for two-and-a-half years since before the birth of her daughter Daisy.

“Fitness has not been my thing for the past two or three years. I haven’t done much … so surprise, surprise, I am about to hit the dancefloor,” she told her radio co-hosts Brendan Fevola and Nick Cody.

“It’s been 14 years since I was on the dancefloor, it’s a long time between dances … I am back baby!”

She added: “Being on Dancing With The Stars back in 2007, it was one of the highlights of my life. I loved it so much, it was this incredible experience.

“I don’t know who else is going to be in it, I don’t know a lot of things, but I do know I have a dancer and his name is Jeremy. I don’t know if he knows what he’s up against,” she joked.

Fifi was runner up to Kate Ceberano on season 6 in 2007.

Corby last appeared on Australian televisions when she joined the cast of SAS Australia in 2020.

Despite being a fan favorite, she didn’t make it past the second episode.
