The Voice Delta’s romance
The Voice coach all-but confirms her feelings for the hunk as she takes him through to the live finals
We’d be lying if we said we didn’t enjoy an on-screen
romance – and
Delta Goodrem had The Voice viewers in a state of frenzy last week after she put rumoured love interest Tim through to the show’s Final 12.
Explaining her decision to pick 23-year-old Tim over his rival Ellis, Delta deemed the handsome crooner “the artist that I feel needs my coaching”.
But fans of the show won’t be too surprised by Delta choosing to take Tim through to the next stage of the competition, given just how much she’s swooned over him from day one.
During his Blind Audition, Delta, 32, happily shared a kiss with the former rugby player after he presented her with a red rose.
And she tempted the northern Sydney singer to join her team by cheekily referring to herself as a “hands-on coach”.
Tim says the feelings are mutual. “Delta is beautiful inside and out,” he tells Woman’s Day. “I’d have given her 10 roses if they’d fitted in my back pocket!”
The pair’s chemistry hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans, either.
“What a hot couple they’d make,” wrote one viewer, alongside a photo of the pair that Tim posted on Instagram.
“I see love forming,” said another fan.
But not everyone is likely to be so supportive of Delta and Tim’s budding romance. It’s thought Delta’s fellow coach Seal – who has been linked to the pop princess on countless occasions and admits they share a strong connection – is feeling left out.
As well as doting on Delta on set, Seal hasn’t stopped gushing about her in interviews.
“Firstly, she is very beautiful, but she is also quite vulnerable. Delta is quite strong… has a strong voice and a strong personality but [also] this air of vulnerability and that’s why people warm to her.”
Even Boy George has said he thinks Seal “fancies the pants off” the pop princess!
But Delta’s decision to choose Tim over Ellis has left some viewers accusing the pop star of favouring “the good looking boys” in the competition over those with more talent.
“This is called ‘ The Voice’ not ‘ The Look’ Delta. We all know why Tim was picked. It wasn’t because he was the better singer,” seethed one viewer.
“Predictably Delta takes the guy she wants to sleep with – Tim,” ranted another.
Fellow coach Kelly Rowland has been sure to have her say, and has joked about Delta’s flirtatious nature. “She always knows where the cute guys are,” Kelly commented during filming, adding, “Then she climbs on the chair and puts her leg out…”
Despite the backlash, Tim continued to remain positive last week ahead of the live shows and thanked Delta for “believing in me” in a heartwarming post online.
And with the nation’s sweetheart firmly on his side, we imagine it’ll take more than a little criticism to dampen the aspiring singer’s spirits!
