She used to be in your lounge room every day and now she’s back and on The Voice.
Last night on The Voice Blind Auditions, a familiar face walked onto the stage and belted out a rendition of Rhianna’s We Found Love. Her name is Fely Irvine and in case you were desperately trying to figure out where you’ve seen her before, it’s in the kid’s TV hit Hi-5.
“People might recognise me because I was in Hi-5, the kid’s show, for three years,” she said. “I definitely learnt a lot and it was such an amazing stepping stone for me. I grew up really quickly and I got the opportunity to make my adorable little mum proud.”
Since leaving the children's show in 2011 after a three-year stint, Fely has been working on her music and dreaming of taking it to the next level. So the beautiful 25-year-old decided to audition for the mega-hit talent show The Voice with the full support of her boyfriend, Home & Away star Tai Hara.
He took to Twitter last night to rally support for his girlfriend:
In fact she and Tai share a love on music and regularly perform together on YouTube.
After her Blind Audition, Fely was left to try and decide between judges Ricky Martin and Joel Madden. Both boys fought hard for her. She ended up choosing....
Ricky Martin.
His winning words were, "You have to stand on that stage and believe every word you say and I can work on that with you. Let me please be a part of your journey.”
Nice one Ricky. Keep trying, Joel.
Fely brought her mum along with her last night. She said, "It's just me and my mum today. We are super close. My mum is my biggest fan, closely followed by my boyfriend Tai."
She said Tai is the one who really encouraged her to audition.
What do you think of The Voice so far this season? Who is your favourite show so far?
