Nathan recently made a return to the spotlight when he auditioned on The Voice.

Performing with a guitar on the stage, Foley sung 80s hit Footloose, proving he still has the same spark he always had when he performed on his hit children’s show.

But the experience of being back on television must have brought up some memories, with the presenter admitting to the judges: “[Hi-5] took up 10 years of my life, we all got along, it was fantastic in that way, (but) the majority of people looked at me and thought OK, kid’s entertainer.”

Nathan hit our screens once again on the 2019 season of The Voice.

“They saw me as the Hi-5 guy, which is amazing but I always thought there was something more I could offer. I guess that was a little bit of a struggle at times.”

While Foley didn’t quite go the full distance on the competitive show, he’s certainly got an exciting new chapter ahead.

Congratulations, guys!
