Delta Goodrem ties the knot in lavish Maltese wedding with longtime love Matthew Copley
Delta Goodrem has officially said 'I do' – and in the most romantic setting imaginable.
The Australian pop princess, 40, has married her longtime love and guitarist Matthew Copley in Malta, the same sun-drenched European country where the couple got engaged last year.
The wedding, which took place on Monday, was an extravagant multi-day celebration attended by the couple's nearest and dearest.
Among the guests were Delta's mother Lea and brother Trent, as well as TV presenter Renee Bargh, former Nine journalist Airlie Walsh, and her best friend Danielle Cox.
The star-studded nuptials had reportedly been two years in the making, with guests receiving detailed schedules ahead of the big day.

The Innocent Eyes hitmaker enjoyed her hen's party in Sydney back on April 26, surrounded by close friends before jetting overseas for the lavish affair.
The singer recently wrapped up a series of exclusive shows in the UK to mark 20 years since her iconic Mistaken Identity album, but it wasn't just her singing that had people talking.
During a performance at the Hackney Empire, Delta was spotted wearing a sparkling band embedded with diamonds on her ring finger alongside her three-carat engagement ring.
The surprising find had fuelled speculation Delta may have quietly tied the knot with Matthew.
Though the couple did not confirmed any nuptials, the lavish band didn't go unnoticed.
However, Delta was not wearing the diamond band when she appeared on UK talk show Loose Women the day before, adding to the ring riddle.
Delta, who has remained private about her personal life, got engaged to Matthew, her guitarist and musical collaborator, in September 2023.
Malta holds a particularly special place in Goodrem's heart.
Not only was it the setting for her romantic engagement to Copley, but it also boasts deep personal and professional ties for the singer.
In a video shared on YouTube in 2023, Delta opened up about her bond with the southern European nation.
She went on to reveal her fiancé's roots.
'My partner's family are all from Malta,' she said, before adding that many of her longtime band members and backup singers also share Maltese heritage.

Love Island beauty reveals she's had fox eye surgery and a brow lift in Turkey a year after starring in the villa
A LOVE Island beauty has revealed she's had fox eye surgery and a brow lift in Turkey. It comes after the ITV2 show alum, 29, who starred in the 2024 instalment, switched up her look by dying her hair blonde. 6 6 6 Patsy Field was dumped after two weeks in the villa and left the show alongside Munveer Jabbal, 30. Yet despite her short stay in Love Island 's Mallorca compound, she swiftly became a fan favourite after opening up about her Erb's Palsy diagnosis. Her condition means one of her arms is shorter than the other and it also has less function. Since finding fame on the reality TV series, Patsy appears to have switched up her look completely. Aside from her platinum hair transformation, she has told her Instagram fans she has jetted to Turkey for surgery. Patsy uploaded a snapshot showing snack bars, cookies and canned drinks to her Stories with the words: "Been taking a few days to rest in Istanbul. "So for anyone who asked what I had done it was a fox eye surgery/brow lift." She added: "They have been amazing at looking after me here and the results are already looking so good! "When I am home and all healed I will do a Q&A on the experience and show you how it looks." In a separate slide, she captured the "cute deliveries" of snacks to help her heal. Love Island beauty reveals terrifying ordeal after she's followed by man and forced to flee screaming The surgery comes amid a rough time for the star, who recently revealed a terrifying ordeal, which saw her followed by a man. EYE SEE Fox eye is a huge new cosmetic surgery trend, loved by the likes of former WAG Danielle Lloyd. The trend sees supposedly invisible strings put in above the eyes to pull them upwards. It uses biodegradable threads to surgically lift the eyes and the results can last anything from weeks up until a year. Fox Eye Surgery - what is it, and which celebs have had it? LOVE Island alum Patsy Field has revealed she's undergone fox eye surgery - but what is it? The Fox Eye surgery trend sees supposedly invisible strings put in above the eyes to pull them upwards. It uses biodegradable threads to surgically lift the eyes and the results can last anything from weeks up until a year. Former Celebrity Big Brother star Danielle revealed she'd had the procedure in March 2021. In 2019, ex glamour model Katie was seen undergoing a similar surgical procedure in Turkey, where she opted for a face and eye lift. Chloe Ferry revealed she was a fan in 2022 while Patsy's fellow Love Island alum Mollie Salmon opted for the surgery more recently, back in 2023. Dr. Omar Tillo - plastic surgeon and medical director at CREO Clinic - has warned about the additional risks of getting cosmetic procedures done abroad. He said: "Sadly, the cosmetic surgery tourism industry is not above massaging the truth to lure patients to medical tourism hotspots, including Turkey, Poland or Thailand. "Unscrupulous online marketing tactics are unregulated, meaning that the hundreds of positive reviews you see on consumer sites could be fake. What looks like a premium facility may really only be an illusion created by elaborate and aggressive marketing. "Many medical tourists will forget about the return journey and the complications that can come with long-distance travel following a recent surgery. "Flying within the same week of a cosmetic procedure can greatly increase the chances of blood clots, which could lead to deep vein thrombosis or a pulmonary embolism." 'Queen of Harley Street' Lesley Reynolds previously told told OK!: Unlike other areas of the face, the skin around the brow and outer corner of the eye is already quite tight, while the brow area is quite bony, making the skin difficult to lift. "In some patients scar tissue can encapsulate around the threads, which means they cannot be dissolved successfully. This can cause ripples and lumps under the skin. "In other patients, lifting the skin can often cause folding and puckering, as the skin has nowhere to go once it has been pulled up - unlike surgery when excess skin is excised. If the threads are not inserted correctly, there can be a loss of sensation in the area." CELEB FANS Former Celebrity Big Brother star Danielle revealed she'd had the procedure in March 2021. Speaking to Closer magazine at the time, Danielle said: "I want to look my best, and this procedure prevents things like jowls and lines, so I thought, 'Prevention is better than cure!' I know I'm a little bit obsessed but it makes me feel better." In 2019, former glamour model Katie was seen undergoing a similar surgical procedure in Turkey, where she opted for a face and eye lift. Chloe Ferry revealed she was a fan in 2022 while Patsy's fellow Love Island alum Mollie Salmon opted for the surgery more recently, back in 2023. 6 6 6

Netflix to start streaming live TV for the first time
Netflix is to start broadcasting live TV for the first time as it continues to steal audiences from traditional channels. The company has unveiled a 'new kind of partnership' with French broadcaster TF1 that will allow subscribers in the country to watch live TV, including top dramas, soaps and major sports matches. The deal with France's largest commercial broadcaster underscores efforts by Netflix to keep subscribers on its platform and cement its position as the home of content. It could pave the way for similar tie-ups elsewhere, including Britain, as the industry grapples with a shift to online viewing. The BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are all struggling to retain audiences amid growing competition from rivals such as Netflix and Disney. While the streaming giants initially shunned live programming, they have gradually moved into the format by buying up the rights to major sporting and entertainment events, such as Netflix's $5bn WWE deal. However, Netflix's tie-up with TF1 marks the first time a streaming service has carried live channels in full. Fight-back It marks a shift in approach from a legacy broadcaster too. Most have tried to compete, rather than partner, with streaming giants by building their own platforms. ITV, Channel 4 and Sky this week announced plans to combine their online advertising spots in an attempt to fight back in an increasingly competitive market. Greg Peters, co-chief executive of Netflix, said: 'This is a first-of-its-kind partnership that plays to our strengths of giving audiences the best entertainment alongside the best discovery experience. 'By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment.' For TF1, which is behind scripted dramas such as Brocéliande and Erica, as well as the French version of reality show The Voice, the deal signals efforts to collaborate with streaming rivals in a bid to win back viewers and generate more revenues. Netflix subscribers will have access to all five of TF1's free-to-air channels, as well as more than 30,000 hours of on-demand programming on its TF1+ streaming service. However, it also risks leaving the broadcaster, which reaches 58m monthly viewers on its broadcast channels, increasingly reliant on its streaming rival. Terms of the partnership, which will begin next summer, were not disclosed. Rodolphe Belmer, chief executive of TF1 Group, said: 'I am delighted about this new partnership with Netflix, with whom we have already established strong relationships through ambitious co-productions in recent months. 'As viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ platform.'

Race Across The World copycat show launching this year promising 'high stakes' and 'spectacular gameplay'
A Race Across The World copycat show is launching later this year, promising 'high stakes' and 'spectacular gameplay'. Destination X, presented by Gavin and Stacey's Rob Brydon, sees contestants dropped off at a random location - and they have to work out where. Set to air on the BBC, it is strikingly similar to the broadcaster's beloved programme Race Across The World, which has run to five series so far since it started in 2019. The competition sees pairs of travellers compete to traverse a cross-continental route without smartphones, air travel, the internet or credit cards - and on a limited budget. The latest series ended last week, with mother and son duo Caroline and Tom narrowly claiming victory and taking home the £20,000 cash prize. But with the trailer for Destination X airing after the finale episode, as filming has already taken place, Race Across The World fans will soon get their next fix of travel contests. Set to air on the BBC, it is strikingly similar to the broadcaster's beloved programme Race Across The World (pictured, the contestants on the latest series), which has run to five series so far since it started in 2019 Based on a Belgian series, after a US version also came out earlier this year, the new programme will see participants travel on a blacked-out bus to an unknown location. They will take on challenges and games during their journey, which will provide clues as to where they are - and a couple of red herrings to keep them guessing. But at the end of each episode, the contestant who places an X on the map the furthest away from their actual destination will be kicked off the bus and sent home. The first player to reach the final mystery place, the titular Destination X, will be crowned the winner. It is not known exactly yet what their prize will be - but the recent American version offered an eye-watering jackpot of $250,000 (around £184,000). The BBC's synopsis for Destination X reads: 'Merging fantasy with reality in this larger-than-life adventure competition series, viewers will follow contestants as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime but have no idea where they are... 'With high stakes and mind-blowing spectacular gameplay, the series will continuously keep viewers engaged and take them along for the ride.' Host Rob, 59, best known as Bryn West on Gavin and Stacey, leapt straight into filming in October last year, just a week after wrapping on filming for the Christmas special of the classic BBC sitcom. A TV source told The Sun at the time: 'Destination X is going to be massive for the BBC and they wanted a familiar face to take it on. 'Rob is very well liked and is incredibly funny, so he seemed the ideal candidate to present the show. 'Filming begins in the mystery location this week.' The BBC has reportedly invested £20million on the travel show and is hoping the series will be 'better than The Traitors'. Involving similar strategy and scheming, it is sure to be a hit with fans of the beloved BBC reality show, which started in 2022 and has since spawned multiple international versions. In fact, Destination X was quietly commissioned back in April 2023, as a joint effort between the BBC and American channel NBC after both hit the jackpot with their respective Traitors programmes. BBC director of unscripted Kate Phillips said in 2023: 'Following the must-see success of The Traitors, I'm delighted that once again we're partnering with NBCUniversal on another very smart, very addictive and very innovative competition show. 'With countless red herrings and brain-teasing clues, we were gripped from the start. 'It promises to be a hugely challenging adventure for our ten brave contestants, with plenty of play along for all BBC viewers, as everyone hopes they've got the "X" that marks the spot!' The broadcaster has thrown all its might behind the new programme, by appointing well-liked Rob as host. The presenter of BBC comedy panel show Would I Lie To You? said: 'How could I turn down the opportunity to become the mastermind of Destination X, the thrilling new travel adventure series coming to the BBC next year? 'It's a show that turns the whole of Europe into a board game - manipulating the players and the audience at home along the way. 'I can't wait to be the puppet master orchestrating every twist and turn as our contestants are taken on a journey where everything is not as it seems. 'It's going to be a wild ride!' It comes after mother and son Caroline, 61, and Tom, 21, took the crown on the latest series of Race Across The World. The fifth series saw the travellers take on an almost 9,000-mile route from the Great Wall Of China, through Nepal, to the southern tip of India, with a budget of just over £1,000 per person. The pair narrowly claimed victory, taking home the £20,000 prize, with sisters Elizabeth and Letitia only 19 minutes behind them. And after the programme aired, Caroline spoke out about the secret battles their epic 51-day journey helped her overcome. Caroline and Tom spoke extensively on the show about the mother claiming - and her son accepting - her identity beyond being a housewife and parent. But she told Metro she had been facing another challenge behind the scenes too: 'We'd just downsized the house which I really struggled with. 'I didn't have a horse anymore and we had our dog put down. 'Tom was becoming more independent and I thought, "I don't know what life is going to offer me now". 'Luckily, Race Across The World came at the right time.' She took the loss of her horse so hard because it has emerged since her time on the show that Caroline is a successful eventer. The Race Across The World winner loves to take part in the equestrian event, which sees competitors take on dressage, cross-country and show jumping. And since finishing the BBC competition show, she got her horse back and made a successful return to the sport: 'I have a much more positive attitude now. 'I still spend a lot of time outside with my animals but I'm not as frightened of being lonely.'
