Remember Frankie Cocozza from The X Factor? You may not recognise him now.
Frankie competed in the eighth season of The X Factor in 2011 when he was just 18, and made headlines by getting kicked off the show in week 6 of the live shows for his shenanigans.
You might recall that he was overheard by producers boasting about a drugged-fuelled weekend, and it resulted in his exit from the show. He later released a statement where he said: “I no longer deserve my place in the show, so I am therefore leaving. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me.”
You may also remember his look from that time – namely, that he had messy hair and wore a lot of guyliner. He went on to compete in Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 where he sported a similar look.
Well, now he looks worlds apart from his time on both shows.
You wouldn’t recognise him if he passed you on the street.

You remember that Frankie also had the names of seven girls inked on his arse?
Well, we learn from his quite entertaining Twitter feed that he now regrets having those tattoos done – and that he wants the Tattoo Fixers TV show to help him get rid of them.
Think it's time for these to go.. Help me choose a cover up using #TattooFixersE4 please. Didn't even shag them 🙁 pic.twitter.com/LSNV1HbWIU
