Frankie Cocozza has been thrown off X Factor

X Factor finalist Frankie Cocozza has been forced to leave the show after breaking one of their 'Golden Rules'.

There hasn't been an official statement released by X Factor bosses about why he left, but the rumour is that he had broken on of their 'Golden Rules',

18-year-old Frankie Cocozza apologised to his mentor Gary Barlow, and released a statement saying: "I'd like to apologise to Gary, my fellow contestants and everyone who has voted for me, but, as of today, I will no longer be in The X Factor.

"My life during the show has gone out of control and my behaviour off stage has over-stepped the rules of the competition. I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving.

"I would like to thank everyone who has supported me."

A spokesperson for the X Factor said: "Frankie is leaving the show today after breaking competition rules. He is going to take some time out before continuing his career as a singer.

"We wish him all the best for his future."

    I kind of feel sorry for Frankie... even if he was a bad singer (I don't watch X Factor)working up his confidence must have been hard... He was kicked off because he was busy doing weird things and not practising songs... On he other hand not practising is bad....
