Frankie Cocozza reveals he's a DAD as wife Bianca gives birth to baby boy

Frankie Cocozza has proudly revealed he's a dad after wife Bianca gave birth to a baby boy.

Confirming the news on Instagram , the former X Factor star posted a shot of him holding his son with the caption, "You’re in for one hell of a ride son.

"You’ll be absolutely fine because you’re half your mother."

Fans were made up for the couple, who now live in Sydney, Australia, with one commenting, "He couldn’t be any more beautiful and what amazing parents he's got."

"You know you’re old when Frankie Cocozza has got a kid! Congrats," joked another.

And a third said, "Aw I honestly couldn’t be happier for Frankie Cocozza, not only has he moved to Australia, he is married and has the most beautiful baby boy."

Frankie, 26, and Bianca tied the knot in 2018, a year after he went looking for love on Celebs Go Dating.

Then five months after saying 'I do', he confirmed a mini-Frankie was on the way, sharing an image of their ultrasound with the caption, 'Ecstatic'.

Frankie found fame in the 2011 series of The X Factor, but was given the boot after production staff overheard him bragging to another contestant about taking cocaine.

Just 18 at the time, he told The Mirror he first started using the drug in school.

“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," he said.

“I was 16 and it was at a big party when I first tried drugs.

“I’m not an addict. I’m an idiot.”

Then in 2017 he admitted he'd blown his £200,000 fortune on booze and was earning £7.50 an hour working on a building site.
