Last week it was the Wasabi guy Lee Harding, but last night it was Hi-5's Nathan Foley who got up on The Voice Australia stage.
The classic children's entertainer, now 39, was one fifth of the original Hi-5 cast, starring in the group alongside Kathleen de Leon Jones, Tim Harding, Charli Robinson, and Kellie Crawford. He left the group in 2008 after ten years.
Foley performed Kenny Loggin's classic track Footloose, which saw Boy George and Delta Goodrem vie for him to join their team.
Delta Goodrem ultimately won out, saying that “the exciting part is that all that variety has led you into this moment".
"I would love to be the coach that was able to talk through that psychology of what you've experienced here because I really, truly do understand that," she said.
"It took up ten years of my life," Foley shared before he hit the stage. "The majority of people looked at me and they thought, 'Kids entertainer.' They saw me as the Hi-5 guy, which is amazing, but I always thought there was something more I could offer."
Last night's episode saw The Voice Australia continue its very successful ratings season with 1,010,000 people tuning in to watch.
According to TV Tonight, the show was the highest rating in its time slot.
UK singer Jess Glynne also jumped up on stage for a secret blind audition to prank the judges, filmed while she was Down Under for a headline tour in February.
The Voice Australia airs on Sunday at 7pm and Monday & Tuesday at 7.30pm on Channel 9.
