Former "Wild Child" Hits the Beach
Frankie Cocozza, a former contestant on The X Factor, has been spotted looking unrecognisable as he enjoyed some time by the beach in Australia. The 30-year-old star, who was branded the show's "wild child," has now settled down in Australia, where he resides with his adorable four-year-old son.
A Decade After Being Kicked Off X Factor
Frankie gained fame as a contestant on the popular reality show over a decade ago. However, his time on The X Factor was cut short when he was axed for discussing cocaine, breaking one of the competition's rules. The incident led to a revelation that he had boasted about using cocaine in front of production staff.
Enjoying His Time Down Under
Despite his troubled past, Frankie appeared carefree as he soaked up the sun on the beach. He confidently stripped off his top and posed in white shorts, revealing a tattooed physique. In a heartwarming photo, he stood next to his four-year-old son, captioning it "Big mush, little mush x."
Struggles with Addiction
Last year, Frankie openly admitted that he still struggles with cocaine abuse, describing himself as a drug addict. During an appearance on The James Smith Podcast, the Celebrity Big Brother runner-up spoke candidly about his love for the addictive stimulant drug. He admitted that if money hadn't run out, he would still be using it.
Trying to Stay Clean for His Son
Despite his love for drugs, Frankie is making a conscious effort to stay clean for the sake of his young son. Becoming a father has motivated him to change his ways and be a responsible parent. He acknowledged that although he loves cocaine, he knows that as a dad, it is not something he should continue doing.
Snorting Cocaine with A-Listers
In a sensational revelation, Frankie shared that during the height of his fame, he snorted cocaine with A-list celebrities. As an 18-year-old, he found himself in situations where he was doing drugs with people he never would have imagined. Frankie described the experience as insane and emphasized how little people cared about it.
Overall, Frankie Cocozza's journey since his time on The X Factor has been marked by ups and downs. While he may have faced controversies and struggled with addiction, he seems determined to prioritize his role as a father and stay on a clean path.
