Former X Factor star Frankie Cocozza is totally unrecognisable after he transformed his life to become a doting father.

He recently shared a photo with fans on Instagram with his 151k strong following impressed to see the changes he has undergone.

Another teasingly added: “Can I see a few grey hairs there boy?”

A third complimented: “Looking well Frankie boy!”

Frankie and Bianca tied the knot in 2018 just weeks after his appearance on Celebs Go Dating with the pair then relocating to live in Australia

He married his wife and mother of his son Bianca in 2018, just weeks after he left the show Celebs Go Dating.

Frankie appeared on The X Factor in 2011 when he was 18-years-old, but he soon found himself in hot water when he was heard bragging about his cocaine use to other contestants by production staff.

At the time he opened up to The Mirror about his use of the drug and his regrets.

He said: “I regret it so much. I’m really sorry. It’s not just the last few months on X Factor I’ve been taking cocaine or using drugs. To be honest, I’ve been doing stuff for a couple of years now.

“I was 16 and it was at a big party when I first tried drugs. I’m not an addict. I’m an idiot.”
