Delta Goodrem has been a coach on all nine seasons of The Voice Australia on Channel Nine, but as the show moves to its new home on Seven in 2021, the singer-songwriter is giving up her spot in one of the big red chairs.
On Wednesday, Channel Seven announced the four new coaches coming to screens in 2021 – Jessica Mauboy, Keith Urban, Rita Ora and Guy Sebastian.
Country singer Keith was one of the Voice coaches for the show’s first season in 2012 and Guy is the only returning coach from last season.
Whilst many are excited to see the hit singing show’s fresh look, some are still upset that for the first time Delta, 36, won’t be part of the fun.
“Where the hell is Delta?!” one person questioned on Twitter in response to the new coaches announcement.
“A no from me. I love @jessicamauboy but really I only ever watched the show for @DeltaGoodrem,” stated another.
“I’m the same, it was only @DeltaGoodrem keeping me watching!” a third noted.
“Will miss @DeltaGoodrem and @KELLYROWLAND on the next season of #TheVoiceAU,” replied a fourth.
Delta addressed the end of her Voice journey in an emotional Instagram post earlier this month.
“What a ride we had red chair!” she wrote in her caption.
“One of the most powerful gifts of my nine year journey on The Voice has been finding my own voice amongst all of it. The heart, the dreams people shared, the exceptional talent and the constant inspiration of being around music – so many magic moments that I am so proud of and I am truly grateful for it all. Wishing everyone all the best for a great season ahead.
She added: “#TeamDelta lives on in my heart and now onto a very exciting new chapter.”
However whilst Delta will be sorely missed, many are excited to see the new female powerhouses step into the role.
Whilst UK pop singer Rita Ora has previously worked as a coach on the UK Voice, this is her first time working Down Under whilst Australian Idol alum Jessica Mauboy is returning to her reality TV talent show roots.
“So excited for Rita!!! Love her,” one excited Voice fan penned on Instagram.
“@jessicamauboy1 you’re an Aussie Gem, it’s your time to shine,” wrote one of Jessica’s fans.
“Jessica and Rita!!! So excited for this guys!!” penned a third.
Returning coach Guy Sebastian took to social media to share his excitement at being back on the hit singing show.
