Tabloid covers tomorrow... @SuttonNick - if you want to see on twitter since I refuse to give them the traffic.

Now I know Frankie is dreadful, but thats just pathetic and sad , Did they even think to check him before he went on? - No wonder he looked bloated.

I thought cocaine made you feel good about yourself ... He looked miserable!!!

His eyes looked glazed over you mean, I thought something was wrong with him (not that there originally wasn't)

I cannot find this on twitter which rather defeats the object of your post as I have no idea what the guy is saying. If he was off his face on Saturday why was he not booted out immediately... and don't tell me no one noticed, ie producers or Gary, who sure as hell knows what someone looks like off their face on coke.

The selective belief/disbelief in the red tops by some FMs never ceases to amaze me.

try @suttonnick

Oh come on he looked bloated and completely out of it.

This thread is dangerously close to defamation....

Is it? He admits it.

Can someone please give me a link to this, I don't Do twitter, so not much good at finding zilch on there.

If you are saying Frankie has admitted this, someone better hope he has or they could and should be sued.

Actually, The Mirror's allegation is that he was off his face during the Sunday night show, not Saturday.

Not if he has admitted it.

and I thought the whole situation couldn't get any worse..like they would let him on stage if he was blatantly high!

and if he was, it will only reflect badly on them. three words: duty of care

It says he confesses he was "out of control"

VERY different to admitting to being on a class A drug.

suttonnick: Wednesday's Daily Mirror front page - "Frankie axed over TV coke binge" #tomorrowspaperstoday #xfactor http://t.co/vSRLOLYI

Yes very different, and people need to stop reading into things that are not actually spelt out.

And once again I have to agree this show needs to be very careful as no matter what age they have a duty of care, they seem to have completely forgotten that factor.

He did say on Xtra factor he had half an hour's sleep the night before and just rewatched and it was a bit shambolic both vocally and stage. Compare that to his very first audition which wasn't bad at all and he did have stage presence.

Actually I know not a popular opinion but I feel sorry for the guy. He is young and obviously the pressure has got to him and there is no way the producers weren't aware of his late nights especially when the cameras went out with him one night!!

Well, I just hope that Frankie manages to snort is life out.

Honestly, you can't necessarily tell if someone's just done a line of coke simply by looking at them, especially if they are in a situation where it would be normal to be a bit buzzed/tense anyway, ie a live X factor show. I though he looked a bit puffy faced on the Sunday show, but again that's something you get from booze and a lack of sleep, not from coke...

LOL, naughty!!

If you did this under Sir Alex you would have been out the door straight away, so it shouldn't shock anyone though I think his mum and dad are to blame also!

Thanks for that, but can only see the front page, so not sure what they have to back this up with. Frankie does not say it on the front page, he says he was out of control, not exactly the same thing.

The show got the publicity it wanted! not sure it will get the viewers it has lost back though, as I don't think Frankie had much to do with the poor viewing figures, I think the fact the show is tired and over done now puts people off watching, it also seems to have little to do with talent either anymore, as we sure must have better than we have on this show in this country.

I bet the producers never considered what M&S would think and say when they allowed Frankie week in week out to go off the rails, by god has it backfired on them now, and on Gary as well, he has lost credibility for many people.

Read whats in the little white box and agreed with the rest.

I agree.

I really don't think Garry would condone this..hes a person who hasn't really been controlled by others by now, if he wasn't on the xfactor machine I bet he would not be happy with what they are doing with/to Frankie..
