Everyone is here hoping for a shot at a successful music career...
...but back in the 90s our next act had just that and now he wants it back.
It's former child star, Kavanagh.
Hello there Kav...
Thank you.
... welcome to The Voice.
Thank you.
It's been a while hasn't it?
It's been a long time.
'I can make you feel good', that was your song right?
When I was 16, I was very lucky to be signed by Take That's manager.
I was working in McDonald's at the time.
I just left school and I knew that he was based in Manchester...
...and I cheekily went down there with the demo tape in hand and banged on his door...
...and he signed me up. My life totally changed.
Looking back now, you go 'WOW' did that really happen?
I mean, I was traveling the world. I was on top of the Pops, ...
...on the front cover of magazines.
I was living the dream.
When I was 21, I decided that I was gonna be an actor.
Went to live in America.
And I got an agent, and I got the manager, had a lot of money
I did a few little things here and there,
but nothing really has got me back on the map, you know.
I came back to England and it's been kind of quiet for me, you know.
I've had massive highs, massive highs...
... and some dark gloves, you know,
but there's something in me that's still keeping me wanting to do this.
I am nervous. Yeah, because you know, ...
... now I have to go and prove myself all over again...
...and take that risk of not turning around.
I do really want this. Yeah.
Kavanagh, I know you.
I know.
Well..
Ehm.. - Where you guys know each other from?
Kavanagh, he was a massive artist.
Yeah, back in the day. In the 90's.
I was in a band 'My Town' back then.
I know! I remember we were in a dressing room and I think we were on tour...
...with maybe Boyzone or somebody.
He was about 12 years old. He was playing the guitar.
And I thought that guy's really talented. I was about 16 at the time.
But I bought your record years ago as well. - Thank you.
No worries. I thought you were pitchier than I know you're capable of.
I just not done this for a long time.
So it was, I think, the nerves got the better of me basically, but you know.
I'm not saying you have a bad voice. Genuinely this guy can sing. He can really sing.
Really really talented.
Again, that's was the only reason why I didn't turn around.
No worries, - Thank you.
Great performance. Well done! - Thank you.
Thanks for the chance.
This is a really strange thing about the show.. it's that, you know, ...
...whatever has going on in a person's life, has no relevance...
...when you get on that stage, you know, you can be the most consummate performer...
...but you get up there. You see the names in the back, the crowd and everything's goes 'grrw'.
Really really hard seeing a mate not get through, you know.
