Kelly Rowland 'Left Speechless' By X Factor Frankie Cocozza Axe - Video

Kelly Rowland was left speechless after she learnt of Frankie Cocozza's X Factor exit while being interviewed by a reporter.

In the video, which can be watched below on Gigwise, Rowland was left visibly gobsmacked during an interview with an ITN journalist who questioned her over the contestant's departure.

Frankie Cocozza was axed from The X Factor yesterday after boasting about his cocaine taking, according to reports.

According to The Sun the contestant broke one of the show's 'golden rules' by discussing his use of Class A drugs in front of production staff.

His former mentor, Take That singer 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. I'm hugely disappointed that he's thrown away an opportunity like this after working so hard to get here.

"I'm sorry to see him go as we've been through a lot together in such a short time. I hope Frankie continues to look to me as a friend and supporter and works it all out, picks himself up and somehow tries to turn this into a positive."
