Frankie Cocozza: 'I Showed Young People Drugs F**k Things Up'

Just Say No

The X Factor reject Frankie Cocozza is giving up drugs and cleaning up his act in an apparent bid to win over viewers on Celebrity Big Brother.

The 18-year-old singer is reportedly entering the famous reality show house when the next series kicks off next month, and he's giving up his wild ways to show the nation he's a changed man.

In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "I helped in showing a lot of young people out there that drugs f**k things up, no matter how dodgy it all was. Say no to drugs. Life's too short."

Cocozza was sensationally kicked off The X Factor in November after he broke competition rules by boasting about taking cocaine.

He apologised to his mentor Gary Barlow and devotees for his bad boy behaviour, and has recently been snubbing the London party scene to focus on getting healthy and repairing his damaged reputation.

On Boxing Day, he told his Twitter fans he enjoyed Christmas because it was "always nice to see the family" and had received "money and clothes" as presents.
