Delta Goodrem Films In Whitsundays

Countless sightings of Australian pop princess Delta Goodrem have generated many excited conversations around the Whitsundays this week.

Rumoured to be filming a low-budget movie in Airlie Beach, the multi-award-winning singer/songwriter, ex-Neighbours star and cancer survivor is said to be staying in an apartment in Airlie Beach with her long-time boyfriend Matthew Copley.

The couple have been dating since January 2018 but are notoriously private about their relationship.

Matthew did, however, call into a local florist in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day and ordered two dozen red roses, one to be delivered to the film set and the second to their hotel room.

Karen from Karen Hill Florists said that when she wrote the name down, she jokingly said “what Delta, as in Goodrem?” and when Matthew nodded his head she felt suddenly “starstruck”.

“When he first came into the shop, I had no idea,” she said.

“But he was really lovely and so was Delta – she even let me take a photo with her when I delivered the roses to the film set.”

There are not many details known about the movie so far, although it is believed to be a small $1.5 million production.

Filming started this week and crews are expected to be in the area for some time.

Other big-name Australian and international actors are also rumoured to be appearing in the movie.
