FRANKIE Cocozza has revealed that he is a drug addict – and has even taken cocaine alongside Hollywood A-listers.
The 29-year-old, who was kicked off The X Factor for discussing cocaine more than a decade ago, recently admitted his love for the Class A drug in a podcast interview.

In unprecedented circumstances, Frankie was axed from the ITV singing competition after “breaking a golden rule” – with it later revealed that he had boasted about using cocaine in front of production staff.
Ten years on, Frankie has revealed that he still struggles with cocaine abuse, openly admitting: “I’m a drug addict.”
Appearing on The James Smith Podcast last week, the Celebrity Big Brother runner-up spoke of his love for the addictive stimulant drug.
Shaking his head, he affirmed: “I’m a drug addict. Simple as that. I just am. I love cocaine. I’m sorry, I do.
“I know that if money hadn’t run out, I’d still be snorting gear. It’s a fact.”
Despite laughing off his addiction, Frankie added that he’s trying to stay clean for the sake of his young son, Frankie Jr.
“I have made a conscious effort to try and stop since the bubba’s been born,” he affirmed.
“I feel bad because I’m saying I love it and that, but I know what I need to do as a dad now, and that’s not to do it.”
Frankie also sensationally revealed that, at the height of his fame, he snorted coke with A-listers.
“I’ve sniffed cocaine with people that you just wouldn’t in a million years believe it,” he recalled.
“I’m an 18-year old kid and they’re doing it with him. It’s insane. No one gives a f***.”

During the interview, Frankie also claimed that he was offered a £1,100 cash bribe to kiss former Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan on a wild night out.
He added: “Go outside, this little ratty geezer turns up in this s****y little motor, he goes, ‘Here you go, I’ve only got £1100. I’ll give you £400 in a cheque’.
“He’s like, ‘Go and stand over there’ and he’s literally standing behind his car door taking photos of us and I’m just necking off with her, against a wall, in the middle of London.”
