Frankie Cocozza looks way different now to his ‘X Factor’ days

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 when he was just 18, and made headlines by getting kicked off the show in week 6 of the live shows for his shenanigans. You might recall that 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 also remember his look from that time - namely, that he had messy hair and wore a lot of guyliner. He went on to compete in Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 where he sported a similar look.

You wouldn't recognise him if he passed you on the street. https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/719147638264893440 https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/716585313737523200 https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/712704310484795392 https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/706920271404474371 https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/679709668223139840 You remember that Frankie also had the names of seven girls inked on his arse? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4aPIJHCuMA Well, we learn from his quite entertaining Twitter feed that he now regrets having those tattoos done - and that he wants the Tattoo Fixers TV show to help him get rid of them. https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/679392524709048320 No, he REALLY wants the show's help to cover them up. https://twitter.com/FrankieCocozza/status/679416278273105920
