Channel Nine has paid a reported sum of $1 million to secure interviews with at least six survivors of the Sydney siege.

A promotional video released by Nine Network program ’60 Minutes’ shows Lindt Cafe workers Fiona Ma and Harriette Denny have already been interviewed about their ordeal.

A report by Daily Mail Australia alleges lawyer Julie Taylor, the pregnant friend of siege victim Katrina Dawson, has also been signed by the network.

Ms Denny, 30, told ’60 Minutes’ reporter Liz Hayes hostages had to beg gunman Man Haron Monis for their lives.

“He was going to shoot someone,” she said.

Both the women were asked “at what point did you think you could die?”, to which Ms Ma answered, “when he fired the first shot”.

Fellow hostage Marcia Mikhail has been paid a reported sum of $350,000 for an interview with the Seven Network.
