2011: Frankie Cocozza may return to the X Factor

X Factor boss Simon Cowell reportedly told Frankie Cocozza that he’s more than welcome to return to the show next year… as long as he “sorts himself out”.

The 19-year-old was booted out by producers earlier this month for “breaking show rules”, but bosses say he can return again next summer.

“Frankie’s blown a wonderful opportunity. It’s very sad, but he has no one to blame but himself,” Simon said at the time.

But the music mogul added this week that the wayward performer is welcome to try again next year.

Simon said: “He’s a young kid and he made a mistake but he walked out with some dignity.

“If he sorts himself out and learns how to behave he could enter again next year.”
