X Factor's Frankie Has Slept With 67 Girls, Dad Boosts - MTV UK

The 18-year-old is a notorious ladies' man, his father says…

Frankie Cocozza has slept with nearly 70 women, according to his father, Frankie Cocozza Sr.

The proud dad gave an interview to The People newspaper where he boosted of his son's bedroom antics.

The 18-year-old has the names of seven conquests tattooed on his backside, a move that his father said was "probably the best thing that he ever did," but the singer been with far more women than that, his dad revealed. 

"My son is just like me but he has seriously outdone me with women," Frankie Sr said. "I don't think he has slept with more than 100 girls. I think he is on number 67. I'd say my number is 30 or 40 but it might be more… He didn't tell me how young he was when he started getting into girls but he was about 12."

Frankie's dad revealed that his son has taken after him in more ways than one, as when he was a teenager he also took part in a talent show, Opportunity Knocks.

"He's got the looks, he can sing and he will get better," the singer's father said. "He's been around for two years; some of the others in contention have probably been in their bedrooms singing, singing, singing. He hasn't. He's got the personality, the whole X Factor."

Frankie Sr also spilled the beans on his son's relationship with Amelia Lily, who left the live shows in week one. "He was gutted about Amelia getting kicked out and sent home," he admitted. "She was a good friend of his. He's not heartbroken and he had said to her from day one he didn't want a relationship… They'd had a kiss and a cuddle."

Frankie recently vowed to give up women until his time on The X Factor was over.
