Poor old Frankie Cocozza, as if being pulled from the M & S advert wasn’t bad enough, he’s now been forced to do a photoshoot and interview with Heat. The lost little lamb. Still, despite the gargantuan pressure of his huge hair on that tiny head,  he managed to pull himself together just enough to pop out last night to Aura nightclub, where he hung out with his lifetime best friends that he’d met since getting on telly. What a brave soldier.

Of course, it wouldn’t be fair of us just to present how we view what’s happened to Francis Cock O’Shea, so here’s what’s been happening in his world, in his words (Via Heat)

“He [Gary] heard the producers were speaking about something serious and he texted and said ‘Are you alright, mate?’ and I said ‘No, I need to go though’.

“He said ‘Get your head down and get some rest.” And then I quit and I didn’t speak to him again.

“I just can’t face it. He’s texted saying, ‘Give me a call, mate’ but I feel so bad. I think I’ll completely crack up if I talk to him.”

But what about the actual night in question Francesca? What happened then? Was it all just bitches and drugs and shit? Who made you do it? Was it Tulisa? DID TULISA FORCE YOU TO TAKE DRUGS? What? You did it yourself? No. Nononono.

 “I had a line of coke.

“I have only ever taken six lines in my life, but that night all I can remember is taking one line, I was so drunk when it happened, but I never took any other drugs during The X Factor. Just that one slip-up.

“We all went to Funky Buddha straight after the show on Saturday night, at about 11pm. I got so f**ked on booze. I felt the club at about 4am and went back to the apartment with a load of people and took the line.

“One of The X Factor bosses overheard me saying it to someone on the Sunday night and they confronted me with it on the Monday morning.

“I admitted it. I wasn’t going to lie.

“I was such an idiot. I didn’t ask what would have happened if I’d told them I didn’t want to leave.

“I regret it like you wouldn’t believe.”

“They [the other, non-drug taking contestants] keep texting me to see how I am. Because we are genuinely mates. Everyone really cares about each other. Even Kitty.”

“People out there really hate me.

“Frankie-Coke-up-the-nose-a was trending on Twitter. People were shouting, ‘I’m so happy you’ve gone! I hate you! on the street.

“Me and The X Factor are over. I’ve blown it.”

“It shouldn’t have taken something like this to put me off drugs.

“Drugs are vile.”

Still, there’s always the X Factor tour to keep you in those horrible, vile drugs eh, Framlington? Not like you’ve been taken off that or anything. According to The Sun...

"If he keeps his nose clean there will be a place for him."

Oh, that is good news.
