An estate agent wowed the judges on The Voice UK in the first episode of last weekend’s blind auditions. Watch his performance below. 

Mark Howard, 27, impressed all four judges on Saturday’s edition of the popular ITV show with will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Olly Murs and Anne-Marie all turning around in their chairs as he delivered his version of Anywhere Away from Here by Pink and Rag’n’Bone Man.

Howard, who now lives and works as an estate agent at Liberty Gate in Nottingham, was pleasantly surprised with the response to his audition which saw him eventually choose to join Anne Marie’s team in the next round.

Howard, an experienced estate agent, previously worked at Hortons and Northwood.

He posted on Facebook: “Just want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has messaged, commented and shared this moment with me and my family.

“The sheer amount of support is overwhelming and as some may know I’m currently at a festival with patchy signal at best, so I will try my hardest once I’m back home to reply to as many messages as possible.

“Can’t thank you all enough and I can’t wait to share this exciting journey with everyone.”
