So what will happen now Frankie Cocozza has left The X Factor? Johnny Robinson comeback?

Pretend popstar Frankie Cocozza

The X Factor team have found themselves in a bit of a quandary today.

Frankie Cocozza was sensationally axedfrom the ITV show this morning, having broken a so called ‘golden rule’ and officials working on the ITV show have told us that they will be making an announcement tomorrow about how his exit will affect Saturday’s show.

Have a look at Kelly Rowland’s shocked reaction to the news caught on camera.

The problem is that after last week’s double elimination and now Frankie’s departure, there are more live shows left on the series than contestants.

The team will therefore be faced with a few choices. They could either cancel one of the weekly eliminations and have one week where the contestants perform but no one is sent home, or they could bring back an act that was previously voted off the show.

The obvious choice would be Johnny Robinson or The Risk, as both acts made it as far as week five, before being eliminated on Sunday.

The Risk received the least public votes of the weekend, so technically it should be Johnny making a comeback, but since when is The X Factor that fair?

Rumours surrounding Johnny have picked up, since it was revealed that all his press interviews for this week have been cancelled and he has gone exceptionally quiet on Twitter.

The show could also hold a vote, asking viewers to vote an act back in – as Big Brother has done on occasion – meaning that singers such as Sami Brookes, Nu Vibe, Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis would have a chance of returning to the competition.

We can’t wait to find out what X Factor bosses will decide and we can’t help but think that Simon Cowell deserves this most recent headache, after giving Frankie permission to behave like a ‘diva’ during a recent telephone conversation.

What do you think producers should do? Would you like to see the return of an old act? Leave your comments below.

    Johnny should clearly come back! He could actually sing and know that frankie has been booted, its his time to rise again! JOHNNY ALL THE WAY! I LOVE HIM! Wooooooooo

  2. Rebecca Mapp says:

    Bring Amelia Lily back!!

  3. Fiona McSweeney says:

    I definatley think Johnny should come back, but I think the option of voting back in a contestant is a really good idea too!

  4. lisa says:

    bring the risk back as they are good singers and the most shock result of the series and did not deserve to be eliminated so early in the competition and they have the potential to go far and I would buy their record, more than i would johnny’s as johnny is good but not as good of the risk,

  5. Mark says:

    bring The Risk back Johnny is so crap he shouldn’t come back! If Johnny gets brought back ill not be happy

  6. Sarina says:

    It doesn’t matter if The Risk were better than Johnny is. The fact is The Risk got lesser votes than Johnny, so it’s Johnny who should come back. It wouldn’t be fair if The Risk replaced Frankie.

  7. Cyprian says:

    They should bring all of the booted acts back for a chance to compete to get back into the show.

  8. Cyprian says:

    Ashford will be a busy man if they do :)

  9. joanne says:

    the risk and johnny should have a sing off and then let the public vote on who should come back in,there both good so both should have a fair try again,my vote would be for the risk on the night lol :)

  10. chelsea says:

    The risk should come back as they put him out of nu vibe in.
    They should have the second chance of proving to the public that they can sing and perform good.
    These are young lads that have talent :)

  11. jessica says:

    either Amelia Lily should come back or the risk. but at the end of the day i think that the public should vote for everyone who has been in the live shows and been sent out. we should be able to pick one person from the live shows to come back & have their chance.

  12. tammy says:

    bring back the risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. Terry says:

    The Risk should be brought back, the xfactor has turned into a mockery.
    Johnny won’t make it that far, noone would buy his albums, whereas people would buy albums by The Risk.

  14. lizzieandjames says:

    I think frankie leaving is a publisity stunt as when the risk left everyone said they werent going to watch x factor again so i think they are trying to gain those viewers but the risk were the fav too win they have more of a chance and they want it more! Come on the risk;-)<3!

  15. Jane:) says:

    They should definitely bring back the risk:D They were actually so good:o Johnnys an amazing singer but, he won’t go far in the music business… The risk should definitely come back:D

  16. shrubxx says:

    Come on, bring back Sophie Habbibis! she was amazing :)

  17. Chels says:

    BRING BACK JOHNNY! He was such a good singer in the sing offs – personally think that he was better than Kitty in the sing off and that the show is a fix, enough said.

    It’s only fair to bring back Johnny too. He was the last contestant to leave. X factor, prove that your show is not just a fix and actually be fair this time?

  18. Sarah says:

    Bring nack the risk! <3

  19. fairminded says:

    The Risk, The Risk, The Risk, without question the best boy band ever on XFactor. I should have voted for them but like many others thought they were safe. i will not make that mistake again…………….

  20. Wavecutter123 says:

    JHONNY ROBINSON MUST MAKE A COME BACK! THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER IF HE DOESN’T. FRANKIE IS CRAP HE CAN PISS OFF.

  21. Non Voter says:

    The Risk to comeback & WIN!!! Hard working guys with great vocal talent, surely deserve the chance of a sing off that they were denied on Saturday. I will phone vote every week for them. they will go a long way. Johnny has his chance.

    • xfactor9311 says:

      i think that gary will decide who comes back seeing as he needs to have three acts and then gary will be able to mend the mistake he made and start being the gary barlow we all know and love again

  22. icemgaz says:

    the risk to come back. possiply sophie but i doubt she would last long. i seriously think that james should come back. he was one of garys acts so its still fair on gazza so everybody wins. also, maybe amelia

  23. Gloria Tsang says:

    The risk should come back! They’re talented singer, they should have a chance!

  24. biggest xfactor fan says:

    Bring back The Risk and I will happily turn my tv on saturday to watch., since I had switched off

  25. Sandra says:

    Bring back BOTH Johnny AND ‘The Risk’ and have another double elimination week…..??

    • phil says:

      Possibly the best idea here – if only one act it should be Johnny really but both maybe deserve to be back so do another double elimination week and see what happens.

  26. Fiona says:

    Sophie Habbibis definitely! For some reason I never liked The Risk or Johnny and didn’t really know the others.

  27. dee says:

    THE RISK ALL THE WAY

  28. Joe says:

    You can’t bring the risk back over johnny. Johnny is the next in line to come back. The risk were the least popular so are out fair and square if they went on to win whoever comes second would feel majorly cheated.

    Surely another boy should be brought back so Gary will not be missing out. So James Michael??

  29. missgiuly says:

    bring back the Risk!!!!

  30. DABY BRAD says:

    NU VIBE SUD COME BACK !!!!! NU VIBE NU VIBE NU VIBE

  31. Max King says:

    Slight correction, there are 6 acts left and 6 live shows, 5 of which are elimination shows. To avoid a final with only 2 contestants there will need to be more than one week where no one is eliminated.

    Here’s the plan, this week invite the 9 eliminated acts back, this includes the 4 eliminated week 1, and allow public to put 1 back in.

    That means the next week there will be 7 acts with only 5 shows left, 4 eliminations meaning a final of 3 which is standard

  32. KK says:

    BRING BACK SOPHIE HABIBIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. Lilly says:

    Bring back JOHNNY!! The Risk got voted out because they got the least public votes and that’s that. Whereas johnny got votes out by the judges and it was against him and Kitty so we dont actually know if he did get the lowest voted so he deserves another chance. I wanted him to win and everyone I spoke to said the same an how much they wanted johnny to win. He is so funny and I voted for him every week!! Come on X Factor bosses if you want your ratings to go up then bring johnny back in!

  34. missindividuality says:

    Sophie all the way, or Johnny, but I’d prefer Sophie :-D

  35. AlouettaRodrigues says:

    Bring back Sophie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. hOLY cHEEZE says:

    They should have a public vote this week, and on Sunday as well as the leaving act they should announce the act coming back. If that happens, my money’s on Amelia Lily.

  37. Mireia says:

    The Risk should come back!!!! I can’t believe they were booted off without a chance to sing for survival!! Johnny was very entertaining, but The Risk were best!!!

  38. Phil D says:

    Bring back Matt Cardle and see if anybody bothers voting for him this year – seeing as he’s done nothing worthwhile since winning

  39. Dan Carney says:

    Please bring back Johny

  40. simon law says:

    It doesn’t matter if The Risk were better than Johnny is. The fact is The Risk got lesser votes than Johnny, so it’s Johnny who should come back. It wouldn’t be fair if The Risk came back

  41. melissa says:

    BRING BACK THE RISK!

    • julie says:

      Its true 100% bring back The Risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      Paying Tv licence is very hard, so help us to be happy by watching those who can entertain us on the show.We want people who can bring smiles to our faces but not stress. The Risk please come back

  42. ross says:

    Bring back the risk!!!

    • julie says:

      Its true 100% bring back The Risk. The public shold always try and vote for people who can entertain and not bring stress to people. Its not worth paying TV licence to watch rubbish. Come back the Risk

  43. caz_frankie's_misses says:

    They should put my man frankie back in. No matter what he’s done wrong he’s a gud guy he likes to have a gd night out on the town.. He’s lovely. And all the tabloids speak shit. He DID NOT bang HOLLY from gordie shore because look at her she’s a dog faced munter.

  44. Janet says:

    Bring back Johnny, as he had more votes than the risk.

  45. laurenrobinson says:

    I think the risk should come back they have the best shot of winning the x factor apart from misha b

  46. FashionDiva15 xxx says:

    The Risk all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LUV THEM SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! :D xxx

    • julie says:

      Bring back The Risk because they can go all the way to winning the show. The risk, The Risk, the Risk, The Risk, come back. The nation please stand for The Risk

  47. debbie and isabella says:

    Bring back johnny. He was so loveable and a very genuine person. The best over 25 in the category.Go johnny!

  48. Coolz says:

    Bring back Amelia Lily/Sophie Habibis as they both deserve it far far more than the drag queen

  49. Amanda and abbs says:

    JOHNNY SHOULD DEF COME BACK! He was THE best singer!! Since the risk got the least votes, it wouldn’t be be fair for them to come back and johnny, therefore, should be called back on to the x factor.

    JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY JOHNNY (chanting)

    PLEASE BRING JOHNNY BACK ON THE X FACTOR!!!!!!!!!!!

  50. iheartjohnny says:

    I agree with Amanda and have. Johnny should SO come back!!!!! No question about it!!!!

  51. yo yo says:

    its simple if they need to replace frankie the it has to be fair that JOHNNY comes back, the Risk got the lowest vote, they still only gona have the same amount of fans as they did before,people have this image that the risk are so fantasic and shouldnt have gone, its only that charlie guy (who always pouting) who can really sing. watch there interviews they are the most boring guys EVER thats why they are out , and Derrys just as bad as frankie so if frankies out same rules aply! AUTOMAATICALLY JOHNNY to come back otherwise just shows it was planned to kick frankie out as the X FACTOR want the RISK! so you might aswell stop voting and let THE X FACTOR DECIDE!

  52. PRINCESS says:

    Bring back the Risk!!!!!!!!!

  53. Jean McGoggle says:

    James Michael should be brought back. Gary Barlow should never have sent him home.

  54. Kt G says:

    JAMES MICHAEL ALL THE WAY <3<3<3

  55. Liz Revell says:

    Johnny should definately come back. X factor is more entertaining with him and boring without him. Besides which he got more votes than the Risk and it’s only fair that he returns.

  56. Doobee says:

    Bring back the risk or James Michael they were both brilliant acts and solo easy on the eye !!!!

  57. chez says:

    it should be one of garys acts to come bac BRING BAC LUKE

  58. Tracy says:

    Only fair to bring back Johnny as he was last one off – public voted least for The Risk!

  59. marion walsh says:

    johny should defo b brought bk its only fair he was only elimanated bcause of d judges

  60. marion walsh says:

    BRING JOHNNY BK

  61. Random Stranger says:

    Bring back Chico!

  62. Ryan says:

    Bring Back THE Risk because Johnny doesn’t wannna come back, THE Risk do and they were potential winners not Johnny

    • rebecca says:

      i agree with Ryan,
      the risk are potential winners,
      my grampa friend works with boyband one direction,
      and he said they should come back into the show coz frankie has left coz they could win the show

      • julie says:

        I agree with Rebecca. Please bring back the Risk, a million times they were really good better than Johnny.
        Help us to continue to watch the show by bringing back the Risk

    • r graham says:

      how you know he dont wanna come back

  63. Marquie says:

    Sophie or The Risk, amazing talent :-)

  64. Emma says:

    The only fair way to do it is bring back johnny he was the last one sent home so it should be him any other way would be very unfair….

  65. caroline says:

    BRING THE RISK BACK!

  66. Kevin Hunt says:

    Johnny to return mentored by Gary Barlow

  67. Nic says:

    Bringing back the risk or johnny automatically wouldn’t be fair as then gary has lost an act, when he still had all three. The only fair way is to bring everyone back and let the public decide who gets back in. As for the comments sayin that johnny is more talented than the risk, that made me lmao

  68. hils says:

    bring back the risk and johnny as both should not have left when frankie has not followed the rules prior to their eviction

  69. cybermary says:

    johnny should come back on grounds of (a) fairness – he was the next in terms of votes & (b)talent – nice voice & (c) lovely guy – such great behaviour and acceptance in defeat – he’s fun & an example to everyone

  70. Miss Natalie Jayne says:

    I fink tht the risk shud cum bk they DID NOT deserve 2 get kicked off in the 1st place they were more deservin thn frankie i used 2 like him but i fink es an idiot now!!

  71. Angela Harvey says:

    Johnny should come back. We’re not all teeny boppers who want to watch the program and that is what the Risk cater for. Johnny is lovely and can sing, and although I don’t think he should win, he should certainly make it through to the top five. Other unconventional acts have made it in show business so it’s not fair to say he’d never get anywhere. The Risk are just another teeny bopper boy band and are nothing special. I look forward to Johnny’s performance as well as Kitty, Misha B and Janet Develin. I also quite like Little Mix. They all have something special eg the X Factor. I can’t remember the other acts. That should say something.

  72. Jesabelle says:

    I think the public should be aloud to vote between the risk and johnny on who they want back on the show. I think Simon needs to give something back to supporters of the show as this year has not gone well in my opinion

  73. Rachel says:

    Well Gary lost a boy from team barlow so bring another one in and is also only fair to bring in someone who hasn’t lost out in a PUBLIC vote….
    JAMES MICHAEL all the way! He could actually sing

    • Joe says:

      Charlie, the one they keep saying should be lead, auditioned in a band and was taken at judges houses into the risk.

  74. Emma Cartwright says:

    Do u know what would be really controversial the boy in the risk who they keep saying should be the lead singer (sorry don’t know their names) If they asked him to leave the risk and come back as a solo singer and join Gary’s team – NOW THAT WOULD BE CONTROVERSIAL!!! Not only would he be leaving his band mates (because he did originally enter as a solo singer) but he would also shift from Tulisa’s groups into Gary’s boy’s team. Can you imagine it, would make for interesting viewing. Although I agree with others they should have a vote to bring back evictees from this series. Hmm wonder what’s gonna happen. Glad Frankie has gone though!!!

    • Joe says:

      Charlie, the one they keep saying should be lead, auditioned in a band and was taken at judges houses into the risk.

  75. Jason Lee says:

    I think the public vote is fair, especially for the ones eliminated. Amelia Lily, what a talent, voice, beautiful, performing, I hope the public bring her back..
    WHY? because she isn’t boring!! I was so looking forward to watching her perform over the course of the show & couldn’t believe Kelly axed her. VOTE AMELIA!!!!

  76. claire says:

    They should bring back James Michael. Only fair way of doing it.

    Gary needs to have another act.

    You can’t bring back someone that the public have voted out. It has to be the one that Gary asked to leave.

    DONE!

  77. Erica Harris says:

    Bring back The Risk they should never have gone in the first place

  78. Brymo says:

    In my opinion, I think the remaining contestants should sing without elimination as it would be unfair to other contestants. Franky getting axed off the xfactor show or competition shouldn’t give to call one of the recently/previously eliminated contestants back to the show. None of the remaining acts has/would ever had/have that second. Xfactor bosses, summon a meeing and let the show continues. Thinking about it, you may may be thinking that it is another way to boost up the viewing rate. Frankly speaking, if one of you bosses or judges were to be in any of this remaining acts/contestants shoes, would you welch/appreciate that kind of decision? Let the show move on, think of other programs to slot in between, I mean something interesting to entertain the public or move on with the weekly eliminations.

  79. Brymo says:

    It will be unfair to the remaining acts.This is a competition and not a tv game. Put yourselves in their shoes, would be happy,knowing that you’re couple of steps away in a fight from being crowned a winner of singing competition and all they could do was to bring in previously eliminated act back on the show, all in the name of replacing an act that broke the golden rule of the competition. Xfactor, get on with the show and either find something to entertain the public with and give them a week off voting or you continue with the weekly elimination process till you come up with a good idea/program to slot in before the final week.

  80. PurpleApple says:

    My creepy obsession with james aside…
    Come on people obv that no one that has had a public vote should NOT be aloud back on and we all know its between the four who gor axed at the first live show so get over it… the risk or johnny are NOT coming back.
    Now think about this fairly … really it should be james who gets his place back because Gary Barlow picked Frankie over him… frankie had his place and he messed it up so it should be James (probally a better way i could explain it :L)

    I LOVE JAMES MICHAEL!!!!! <3

  81. Mandy says:

    Johnny was last out so should get his place back in the competition. All these saying phone votes for previously eliminated contestants, is unfair as they were voted out a long time ago and would only be a fix by the producers if allowed back….BRING BACK JOHNNY

  82. Morgan says:

    i think all the acts that have been booted out should be given a chance to come back. there won’t be enough time having them all back to sing for a vote in, so they should just put it up on screen tomorrow night for voting, and have one of them come back sunday night.
