She will compete in the second Eurovision Semi-Final live in Vienna alongside the UK’s entry Look Mum No Computer and former Love Islandstar Antigoni Buxton .
The reality star is representing Cyprus with her song Jalla.
Australia, who have competed in the contest since 2015, has failed to make it past the semi-finals since 2023, when Voyager’s track Promise saw them finish in ninth place in Liverpool.
Speaking to Bizarre, Delta revealed she has put just as much effort into the production of her performance as she has the song itself.

Delta said: “I have definitely been learning on the job.
“This is my first ever Eurovision. The staging is just as important as the song.
“When I was working on the track, I wanted to make sure there was a lyric that lends itself to a journey in the production.
“I wrote it thinking about what the staging looks like and what exactly we are saying in the song.”

Admitting she was like a kid in a candy store when choosing her stageeffects, Delta added: “You can do all sorts of things.
“They give you a long list.. honestly, what an amazing opportunity.
“You can have fire, wind, you name it. I felt like I was going shopping.”
Last year’s 2025 contest in Basel, Switzerland, was watched by astaggering 166 million people.
However, Delta insists she isn’t fazed by the massive global audienceset to watch her tonight.
She said: “It doesn’t matter if it’s Hackney, the Commonwealth Games,Eurovision, or my outdoor pop-up in Camden earlier this year, I carejust as much about every single performance.
“My game plan is simple, stay true to myself and bring it.”
While Delta is determined to make her country proud, she isn’t takingthings too seriously.
In fact, she says bonding with fellow contestants has been a highlight.
Delta said: “Eurovision is completely its own world. I met a lot of artists in Oslo earlier this year and you naturally find your friends. Denmark’s Soren Torpegaar came up to me and told me how he went to one of my shows the last time I was in Denmark. It was really sweet.
“Honestly, the whole process has been amazing.”
