Her future on The Voice Australia’s coaching panel has been in question since Seven acquired the franchise from Nine last month.

Delta, who joined The Voice nine years ago, told the radio duo she’s unsure about whether she will return to the show, explaining: ‘I genuinely don’t know what the next chapter is.’

Hinting that the decision is still up in the air, Delta continued: ‘Every season, at the end of [The Voice], I take stock of the year. I go, ‘How do I feel as an artist about this next chapter? What do I want for my next chapter?’ 

‘And I’m truly taking it step by step [this year],’ she added. 

However, later in the interview, Delta suggested that she may indeed have departed the franchise by insisting that she’s currently enjoying focussing on her own creative pursuits.
