February 27, 2014 7:40

The Seven Network appears to be preparing to screen as yet unseen footage of convicted drug smuggler Schapelle Corby’s first moments of freedom on Sunday Night.

A promo released by the TV network tonight previews an episode of the Sunday Night program showing the release of Corby from prison, footage from inside the car she was transported to a compound in, and her first moments in the compound being greeted by family members and video calling others.

A spokesman for Sunday Night denied that the network had paid for access to the Corby family and said there would not be a direct interview in the piece to air on Sunday.
