SHE may have left children's group Hi-5, but Charli Delaney has not lost her positive attitude.

The bubbly personality is down to the final four couples on Prime's Dancing with the Stars. She is the only female celebrity remaining alongside boxer Danny Green, AFL player Paul Licuria and Home and Away actor Luke Jacobz .

But even as Delaney spoke to The Word yesterday in the lead-up to Sunday's show, she wasn't saying she wanted to kick the boys' butts.

"The guys look amazing with their tops off," she said, giggling.

"I'm probably a bit more relaxed about the competition than he [Green] is."

Green has earned a reputation on the show for being competitive and keen to win but Anna Bay-raised Delaney is taking the competition in her stride.

"I'm very proud of how far I've come," she said.

"I've put everything into it."

After finishing up on the reality show, Delaney will join the Channel 7 commentators for the Melbourne Cup.

She will be hosting the fashion and celebrity events trackside from the famous Birdcage marquee.
