Why frankie cocozza axed

Many viewers were astonished that the singer remained in the competition following a below-par performance at the weekend. Andy Merry, of boyband The Risk - who were voted out on Sunday - said: "We've said to him 'You've got a great opportunity here, just calm down a bit'. Cocozza said today: "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. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.

A spokeswoman for The X Factor said: "Frankie is leaving the show today after breaking competition rules. We wish him all the best for his future. Just moments before leaving the show today, Cocozza boasted to fans on Twitter that he was shooting the video for an X Factor charity single, Wishing On A Star. Programme bosses said they would make an announcement tomorrow about how the Saturday show will pan out. It is the latest drama to engulf the show this year as the programme struggles to match audiences in previous years.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported me. In a separate statement Gary Barlow said: "Frankie has apologised publicly as well as personally to me and the producers for his actions that led to him leaving the show. The watchdog was looking into three potential breaches of its code by the ITV1 series. In October, the year-old from Brighton appeared to swear after finding out he was getting through to the next round during a results show.

On last weekend's Saturday night show, viewers saw Cocozza out drinking with friends, which may have breached rules on glamorising alcohol. Ofcom is also examining a problem in the same show with an on-screen contest when multiple-choice answers appeared in a different order during the programme. The year-old hopeful has opened up about his bad behaviour that led to him being booted off the ITV reality show. Cocozza revealed that he has taken cocaine six times and said he will regret his action for the 'rest of his life.

But despite being asked to leave the singing competition, Cocozza was already spotted back in London yesterday heading to Holborn Studios in North London. He emerged from the building tonight to have a cigarette and seemed particularly pleased with whatever had been going on inside as he flashed the camera a huge smile and gave a thumbs up. Regrets: But Frankie didn't look very remorseful as he made his way to Brighton rain station and smoked a cigarette en route.

Speaking to today's Sun newspaper, the big-haired wannabe explained that he felt guilty about what he'd done. However despite ruining his chances on the X Factor, Cocozza admitted that he couldn't guarantee that he will stay away from drugs in the future. Hanging with his boys: Frankie, in the yellow hoodie, arrived at a friends' house earlier today.

The hopeful - who has admitted to trying the illegal high mephedrone in the past - said: 'I can't see into the future so I can't say that I'll never do coke again. Cocozza, who lives with his mother in Brighton, East Sussex, also revealed that he has slept with seven females since starring on the X Factor and admitted that it was easy.

Not bothered: The year-old seemed happy enough as he had a cigarette outside Holborn Studios in North London yesterday. It was so easy. However the youngster's downfall was last Saturday night which he spent with blonde Becca Hills. Next move: The hopeful was less cocky when he arrived in London yesterday evening and kept his eyes on his phone. She was at his side during the hedonistic night of passion and partying that led to his axe from the X Factor.

Hills is cagey about the details of what went on inside the West London flat she was seen entering with Cocozza on Saturday night, but admits: 'Some stuff happened between us, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about. Tell all: Becca Hills, 19, has given an interview revealing 'some stuff happened' between her and axed X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza.

Cocozza was pictured topless and sitting with a female companion in the window of the flat where an after-party took place over the weekend after a night of clubbing. But despite their liaison, Hills insists: 'I don't plan to keep in contact with him. There's no future between us. Speaking again to The Sun, Hills, insists: ' I never wanted him to get in trouble. He seemed a lovely guy who likes a drink.
