Frankie Cocozza Refusing To Speak To X Factor Judge Gary Barlow After Drugs Shame

Frankie Cocozza has admitted that he is no longer in contact with his former X Factor judge Gary Barlow.

The contestant was dramatically kicked off the talent show last week after reports that he was dabbling in drugs, which breaks the shows 'golden rule'.

Frankie told heat magazine: “He [Gary] heard the producers were speaking about something serious and he texted and said ‘Are you alright, mate?’ and I said ‘No, I need to go though’.

“He said ‘Get your head down and get some rest.” And then I quit and I didn’t speak to him again. I just can’t face it. He’s texted saying, ‘Give me a call, mate’ but I feel so bad. I think I’ll completely crack up if I talk to him.”

“I had a line of coke. I have only ever taken six lines in my life, but that night all I can remember is taking one line, ui was so drunk when it happened, but I never took any other drugs during The X Factor. Just that one slip-up.

“We all went to Funky Buddha straight after the show on Saturday night, at about 11pm. I got so f**ked on booze. I felt the club at about 4am and went back to the apartment with a load of people and took the line. One of The X Factor bosses overheard me saying it to someone on the Sunday night and they confronted me with it on the Monday morning.
I admitted it. I wasn’t going to lie.

The audience of the show chose Amelia Lilly to replace controversial travesty Frankie on Saturday's show.
