Frankie Cocozza (born 17 January 1993) is an English singer. He participated in Series 8 of The X Factor UK as part of the Boys category mentored by Gary Barlow.
He was ejected from the competition after his drug and cocaine abuse, thus finishing in 8th place. This paved the way for Amelia Lily to return after she had been eliminated in Week 1. He was also banned from The X Factor 2011 charity single, CD, and quarter-final live performance, as well as the Sunday Final group performance and reappearance, and The X Factor Live Tour 2012 because of his ejection.
