Cowell: Axed X Factor contestant Frankie has only himself to blame

X FACTOR boss Simon Cowell said Frankie Cocozza has “blown a wonderful opportunity” after the teenage hopeful was axed from the competition for his drug boasts.

Cowell said the 18-year-old had “no one to blame but himself” after he was booted out of the contest after he apparently talked about using cocaine.

The four X Factor contestants who were dropped in the first live show will now vie to re-enter the competition. Viewers will now be given their say, with details of the vote due to be announced today.
