X Factor bad boy Frankie Cocozza looks SO different now – and he’s planning new music

From bad boy to old man chic

The X Factor’s original bad boy Frankie Cocozza has changed his ways AND his style as he’s traded the floppy hair and eyeliner for this magical mane.

The singer, now 23, was kicked off the singing competition in 2011 for breaking a ‘golden rule’ – this golden rule being that he allegedly bragged about cocaine fuelled nights with a variety of women, which made one programme insider label him as ‘the worst role model’. Yikes.

Now he looks a million miles away from his talent show rebel persona, with long, washed hair, facial hair and a simple pink shirt.

The star – who was clean-cut Gary Barlow‘s contestant when he was only 18 – is now planning to make a comeback onto the music scene.

With a million followers on Twitter, he’s planning on releasing his own music, and even teased it all with a snippet of a new track, Motorcycle 2.0, released in March this year.

After his X Factor disaster, Frankie ended up appearing in Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother – making a reported £30,000, though Yahoo claimed two years later that he had just 78p in his account.

Well considering he’s already got a bigger following than most professional musicians, we might be seeing a lot more from Frankie Cocozza.
