Schapelle Corby's interview on Sunrise left fans uncomfortable as the convicted drug smuggler took offence to a question from co-host Sam Armytage.

Corby appeared on the morning show before her reality TV show debut SAS Australia and spoke to hosts David Koch and Sam Armytage about the experience.

“I covered part of your trial in Bali. If you’d said to me, fast forward 10, 15 years, I’d be interviewing you now doing a reality show, I’d have said, ‘Oh, for goodness sake’,” Armytage began, before Corby, who appeared to have difficulty hearing the question, interjected.

“If one of the what? If one of the what?” she asked.

Armytage repeated the question – but Corby cut her off mid-sentence. “Well I wouldn’t have had any clue what would be in my future,” she said.

“What do you say to people out there who are surprised you want to pursue a TV career?” Armytage continued.

“Nothing. It’s all about my own self. I did this for myself,” said a frustrated-looking Corby.

Corby, 43, warmed up after the bumpy start and explained why filming SAS Australia, which is a military-style reality show with Aussie celebrities doing tough challenges, was rough for her.

“This is why I wanted to do it; I wanted to see if I was in control of my mind,” she said.

However, a question from Kochie made things tense again after he asked "What was tougher? Doing this show or spending those years in a Bali jail?"

Corby shot back, saying "Well, it's completely different, Kochie."

She opened up about what she has been doing since returning to Australia from Bali three years ago.

“I’m happy in my life, but I was feeling a little stuck. I wasn’t reaching out to friends or making any plans, so I needed this little exercise of SAS, and it really gave me a kick up the butt.”

She also shared about how her boyfriend Ben Panangian is her "huge motivator" in her life.

“He’s very important. He’s a huge motivator in me. Umm … yeah. He’s really encouraged … he’s a big part of my life. It works because we have video chats. It’s not just letters or normal telephone calls. We speak to each other like three, four times a day … it works for us, this long distance relationship,” she said.
