Frankie Cocozza axed from X Factor 2011

Frankie Cocozza will be waving goodbye to the X Factor for good after his clubbing antics led him astray more than usual.

Frankie told the X Factor: “I’d like to apologise to Gary, my fellow contestants and everyone who has voted for me, but, as of today, I will no longer be in The X Factor.

“My life during the show has gone out of control and my behaviour off stage has over-stepped the rules of the competition. I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.”

An X Factor spokesperson has also given this statement: “Frankie is leaving the show today after breaking competition rules. He is going to take some time out before continuing his career as a singer. We wish him all the best for his future.”

An annoucement regarding Saturday’s show is expected tomorrow.

Keep it central!

      We may have done worse in our lives but not in front of millions of children and teenagers. It glamourised excessive drinking, promiscuity and now by the sounds of it drug taking. Good riddance but I hope he does sort himself out.

    what a opportunity he had and has just thrown it away

  7. linda norman (COMMENTS: 2)

    just read on twitter to bring back the risk i think they should

      The Risk did get the lowest number of votes from the public tho. But had it not been a double elimination, Johnny might not have been in the bottom two. I guess having seen the sleazebag booted off, it would be good to see Johnny get the reward for being such a nice bloke. He should be allowed to sink or swim without the manipulation that goes on by judges to bring about protest votes. THAT was the reason Louis was so OTT last week and it worked a treat because Frankie stayed in. Now that Ofcom are awarming all over it, the tune has changed and Frankie is history

    If it’s a toss up between the Risk and Johnny, I’ll take Johnny. The double elimination was just a PR stunt anyway, so bring him back. :wink:

    I liked the suggestion that Johnny could front a new Generation game. He is most definitely in the Larry, rather than Bruce camp, but I can see it working. :rock:

    It would be good for Johnny Robinson or the risk or Sophie Habbibas to return to the x factor

  10. Puddleduck (COMMENTS: 2)

    Frankie was sticking two fingers up to other 18 year olds who haven’t a hope of getting a job never mind a career in the music industry. He couldn’t be arsed with it so he needed to go. If there is any fairness and if the public vote actually means anything at all, Johnny should be brought back.

    From France, I watch X Factor and to be honest Frankie shouldn’t have gone as far as he has!! He’s gone and that’s good but please Frankie sort yourself out.
    As far as Johny is concerned yes he is a very nice bloke but please let’s get back to what the show is all about SINGING and honestly Johny you haven’t got what he takes in addition to this and I know that it may sound dreadful but appearance is also important and again I am sorry Frankie but you haven’t got what he takes. Good luck nevertheless for the future. You would perfect for a Panto show!!
    Bring back the risk they deserve a second chance
