Frankie Cocozza made quite an impression on a certain female X Factor judge when he tried out for the ITV show.

The 18 year old singer was full of sparkle and cheeky wit when he showed up in London earlier this year and told the judging panel that during an earlier holiday in Malia, he’d had the names of seven girls tattooed on his bum.

Of course, as soon as the panel got a chance to talk, Kelly Rowland gushed:

I can be eight – I’ll pay for it!

Apart from his wit, his charm and his wish to ‘sleep with as many women as possible,’ Frankie does have quite a lot else going for him.

The teenage singer crooned a slow version of Amy Winehouse’s Valerie at the O2 venue and though we wouldn’t say he had the perfect vocal, he did well enough to impress the crowd and certainly had stage presence in abundance.

Take That’s Gary Barlow enoyed ‘every bit’ of the audition and remarked:

“The stage presence, the Rod Stewart vocals, I think people are going to love you. Well done.”

Louis Walsh on the other hand thought Frankie was more like Robbie Williams but added ‘I think you’ve got a great kind of a rock voice…. You are a cheeky chappy!’

Admitting that she likes the ‘bad boys’, Kelly Rowland went on to say:

“I really like you, I like your whole vibe and I really do like the fact that you’ve got eight girl’s names tattooed on your butt. I think you bring something really refreshing to The X Factor.”

N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos thought it was quite ‘clear’, from the crowd’s reaction to Cocozza’s that the girls already ‘love’ him. She added:

“I think after that audition it’s about to get a whole lot worse.”

Four yeses later and Frankie had won himself a place in bootcamp. He sang Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls earlier this week and found out yesterday whether or not he made it through to judges houses.

Do you think he deseres a place>
