Frankie threatens to quit X Factor as Ofcom investigates

Frankie Cocozza has threatened to quit ‘X Factor’ over abuse on Twitter as watchdog Ofcom launches two investigations into his behaviour on the show.

Ofcom will investigate an outburst two weeks ago when Frankie swore before the watershed and also the glamorisation of his boozy late night partying.

A source told The Sun: "Frankie had a meltdown. He knows he won't win and can't be bothered with all the haters.”

Frankie, who survived the weekend’s show to the surprise of many viewers, has had his antics brought up numerous times on the show.

He told his mentor Gary Barlow that he had had enough of the hatred being aimed at him.
Ofcom received over 100 complaints for the swearing incident.

On Sunday’s show presenter Dermot O’Leary repeatedly asked Frankie how long he had slept the night before, eventually revealing it to be just half an hour.
