It feels like poor old The X Factor has been hit with more cries of 'IT'S A FIX' than any telly show to ever have existed this year.

Can't the show find the next big star IN PEACE?

Jheeeez.

But it turns out Frankie Cocozza (from a few years ago) is still about and has been bitching about the show, so probably not.

You may remember Frankie for being that super edgy and super cool guy with a tattoo on his arse who got removed from the live shows after apparently being caught using cocaine.

Nawty nawty.

And now he's claimed it was The X Factor bosses themselves who released the deets of his debauchery, despite claiming they'd like to keep it quiet.

"They wanted a young 18-year-old to be that. They wanted to give someone that image and I was bang up for going out and getting on it all the time anyway.

"I f*cking slotted straight in. From my first audition I had the tattoos on my arse and stuff," he continued to the Daily Star.

He also claimed they released the information to the papers just an hour after the meeting in which they booted him from the show.

"They had no reason to release that. No reason at all. I was assured, I was promised it wouldn’t be released and so was my mum."

heat has contacted The X Factor for comment.

In other X-Factor-is-definitely-a-fix news, Ryan Lawrie has been accused of MIMING during the live shows last Saturday.

WOWZERS.

Viewers noted on Saturday night that Ryan's vocals could be heard loud and clear during his performance of The Beatles' Twist and Shout, despite the fact he was holding the microphone far away from his mouth at the time.

One Twitter user said: "Thought Ryan was pretty good until he slipped up and showed us he was blatantly miming," and another: "Come on, Ryan wasn’t even singing live, you could see he was miming towards the end."

But an X Factor spokeswoman told The Sun: "All contestants sing live and no one mimes. Ryan’s mic was live throughout his performance."

We're kinda with The X Factor on this one…
