Frankie Cocozza is no stranger to a drug scandal, after all it was reported that he was booted off the X Factor in 2011 because he was bragging about snorting cocaine during a night out with his friends.
However, it seems that his own experience hasn’t helped him relate and sympathise with others in the position as this week the wannabe has been mocking Tulisa Contostavlos after she was arrested.

It’s been reported today that X Factor bosses have axed Liverpool from the list of auditions venues this year following what the Daily Mirror describes as the “Christopher Maloney debacle!”

Simon Cowell wants to bring the X Factor back bigger and better than ever and some insiders say that for him to reclaim his lost viewers, he needs to make the show a bit more dated.

Christopher Maloney has apparently come out as gay, though we’re not entirely sure he was ever ‘in’ if you know what we mean.
The scouse singer shot to fame on the 2012 series of The X Factor and finished in third place on the show final in December. He was probably the most controversial contestant on the show – excluding Rylan Clark perhaps – but none of the drama was related to his sexuality.
