A NEIGHBOURS legend’s dream of representing Australia at Eurovision has comes true as she’s announced as the 2026 entrant.
The star has had a hugely successful recording career since leaving the iconic Aussie soap.
But Delta Goodrem still had one major career goal on her list; to represent her country at Eurovision.
On Sunday, Australian network SBS announced that Delta, 41, would be the act performing in Vienna, Austria.
Delta will take to the stage at the Wiener Stadthalle this May with her new single Eclipse.
Delta said: “I’m so honoured to represent Australia on one of the biggest and most iconic music stages in the world at Eurovision!
“As a singer-songwriter, music has been my lifelong passion. I’ve always loved the creativity, individuality, and joy Eurovision brings, connecting and uniting people across the globe through music; the universal language.
“I can’t wait to arrive in Vienna and make Australia proud.”
Last year, Delta exclusively told The Sun about her dream to appear on Eurovision.
She said: “Of course I would do Eurovision. I love it!”
Delta said she was thrilled when Australia was allowed into the contest in 2015, adding: “I’m obsessed. I flew into London and watched some of the semi-finals.
“I loved Scott Mills and Rylan’s commentary. I love the creativity of it all. You discover some amazing talents.”
Delta released her single Eclipse on Sunday, which she also wrote alongside Ferras Alqaisi, Jonas Myrin and Michael Fatkin.
Delta starred in Neighbours as Nina Tucker from 2002 to 2005 before making cameo appearances in 2015 and 2022.
She signed her first record deal at the age of 15 and released her debut album, Innocent Eyes, in 2003.
Delta also acted as a coach on The Voice Australia for eight seasons from 2012 to 2020.
