This X Factor star is a dead ringer for Robbie Williams, 50 - but can you guess who it is?

He competed in the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011, won by Little Mix (pictured), but was booted off in eighth place after 'boasting about his cocaine use'. So, can you guess who it is?

Frankie, 31, appeared on The X Factor as a bright-eyed 18-year-old and was loved for his charming bad boy persona. 

He was mentored by Gary Barlow who later said he was 'hugely disappointed' that Frankie 'threw away an opportunity' after the drugs scandal. 

After The X Factor, Frankie enjoyed success on Celebrity Big Brother, finishing the 2012 series in second place behind Denise Welch.

He went on to have limited success as a solo artist before forming short-lived pop rock band The Telescreen.

The band have not be active since 2015, and in 2018 Frankie moved to Australia after marrying Bianca Murphy.

Frankie has not released music in years, despite fans' pleas, but still describes himself as a 'musician'. 

In 2022, Frankie split from Bianca and that same year he found love with lingerie designer Emma Stubbs.

Frankie and Bianca share one child together, son Frankie Jr., and he turned five in May.

The Sun previously reported that Frankie and Bianca remain on amicable terms for the sake of their son Frankie Jr.

A source told the publication: 'Frankie and Bianca were madly in love but things just fizzled out over time. 

'They have remained on good terms for the sake of their son, Frankie Jr, but have both moved on.

'Bianca has stopped using Cocozza as her surname and he has removed all trace of her from his Instagram.'

They tied the knot in May 2018 back in Brighton and the following year they welcomed their baby boy.
