Men's magazines will rush to sign-up Schapelle Corby for a raunchy photo shoot if she is freed.

And the convicted drug smuggler could earn up to $500,000 for a sexy bikini shoot, according to reports.

FHM magazine has revealed Corby polled strongly in its 100 hottest women vote but editors decided against including the former beauty student, fearing a public backlash.

"At the time she was on trial and potentially could have been executed . . . so it may have been in slightly poor taste," FHM editor John Bastick was quoted as saying in The Courier Mail.

"Our readers have been begging us to do it . . . and to be honest we couldn't print enough copies," Mr Bastick said.

"By the time she comes out she might be 50, so they might not be so interested then."

Rival publication Ralph said it had also heard from Corby admirers.

"I wouldn't say it's been a flood but a lot of guys do say if she ever gets out, make sure you get her," editor Michael Pickering said.

"She's an attractive girl in a distressing situation and it's probably tugging on a few blokes' heartstrings."

Penthouse magazine said it was interested in Corby but, at 28, the Gold Coaster was a "bit old" for its readership.
