Remember Frankie Cocozza from The X Factor? You may not recognise him now. 

Frankie competed in the eighth season of The X Factor in 2011 and made headlines by getting kicked off the show in week 6 of the live shows for his shenanigans.

According to The Daily Mail, he was overheard by producers boasting about a drugged fuelled weekend and it resulted in his exit from the show. He later released a statement where he said, “I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.”

You may remember he had messy hair and wore a lot of guyliner while appearing on the show. He also went on to compete in Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 where he sported a similar look.
