Former ‘Home and Away’ star Mark Furze is making a return to the spotlight, revealing he’s auditioned for ‘The Voice Australia’.

The 34-year-old actor, who famously played Ric Dalby on the Australian soap, performed for coaches Guy Sebastian, Delta Goodrem, Kelly Rowland and Boy George in an episode that will air next week.

An Instagram post shared on Monday showed a graphic reading, “Guess what? I auditioned for The Voice”.

“And I wasn’t even nervous at all. I definitely didn’t almost vomit or pass out either..,” Mark wrote in an accompanying caption.

“And just the thought of my episode going to air on Mon June 8 at 7:30pm doesn’t give me butterflies and an anxious/sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

“Why not? Because I’m calm. I AM calm.. Shut up, I’m calmer than you are.”

Marc became a household name on Australian TV when he starred on Home and Away from 2004 to 2008.

Since his departure from the show, he’s appeared in a few other television projects, but also pursued his passion for music.

As well as forming a band called Falcon Road, he’s released an album called Stonelove this year, and regularly shares clips of himself playing guitar and singing on social media. He’s also performed with band, Shotgun Alley.

‘The Voice Australia’ continues at 7:30pm on Channel Nine.
