The rest of us may still be shivering in our winter coats, but spring has most definitely sprung for Natasha Giggs.

The Celebrity Big Brother star stepped out in a colourful, pastel-hued ensemble tonight to party in Bolton with her former housemate Frankie Cocozza.

Natasha wore a pale blue shirt with tiny pink hotpants and towering blue platform heels for the night out at J2 nightclub.


She added hot pink lipstick and heavy false eyelashes to complete the look.

Inside the venue, Natasha cosied up to her old co-star, even tweeting a picture of them writing: 'I jus (sic) LOVE this lad!'

Earlier in the evening, Giggs filled followers in on her preparations for the night. 'Make up on, wine poured, hair in rollers, music playin.... Waitin for the girls to arrive! It's on...!!!' she tweeted.

Home time: The former Celebrity Big Brother contestants were seen leaving the club together

Despite declaring that she was going to focus on repairing her marriage following her stint in the big Brother house last year, Natasha has spent a good deal of time partying with her CBB co-stars.

Last month, she was pictured holding hands with Kirk Norcross after flirting heavily with him in the house.

It was this type of behaviour, following her headline-making claims of an affair with brother-in-law Ryan last year, that led to criticism of Natasha's inclusion in a celebrity 'mother of the year' competition.

Following a torrent of online abuse, Natasha defended herself on Twitter, writing: 'For the losers STILL on at me 4 bein up 4 mum of the year can u not see I was nominated to get u all talkin about it? And u fell 4 it #mugs.'

One hater wrote: 'Natasha Giggs...Mother of the year? That's a bit of a joke isn't it. Kids I've been s***ging your uncle... Anyone for ice cream?'

While another tweeted: 'Natasha Giggs nominated for Mother of the Year? Whaaaat? Who is on the shortlist for Father of the Year? Joseph Fritzl??'

Love him or hate him? Frankie Cocozza has caused controversy with his womanising ways and love of partying


He has made a dubious name for himself as the X Factor’s resident lothario and hellraiser.

But, as these pictures uncovered by the Mail show, 18-year-old Frankie Cocozza wasn’t always the bad boy he’d like audiences to think he is.

They reveal the wild-haired wannabe, who made his debut on the ITV talent show by dropping his trousers on stage to reveal the tattooed names of girls he met over the summer, was once an innocent-looking schoolboy with a sweet smile.


And while friends say he was always an extrovert with a ‘cheeky personality’, Cocozza’s latest incarnation as an unabashed ladies’ man has proved to be something of a shock.

This week the X Factor hopeful left show bosses panicking as he went on a 12-hour booze bender. ITV has already been forced to apologise after he swore on live television.

Cocozza, a college drop-out, boasts he has slept with 69 women after losing his virginity at 12.

Life in the spotlight: Frankie partied at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women Awards on Thursday

But his transformation from cherubic child to rebel seems less surprising when one learns that his father, Frankie Senior, boasts about his son’s conquests – seemingly proud to admit that the number is higher than his.

He split from Cocozza’s mother, Tina Pynn, when his son was only a year old.
Mrs Pynn, who works at the exclusive Roedean school in East Sussex, admits she has been a ‘nervous wreck’ since their son hit the headlines.

Cocozza began performing when he was six, at a theatre group in his home town of Brighton. At 15, rather tellingly, he won the part of the Artful Dodger in a production of Oliver!

It seems he always wanted to see his name in lights. He has applied to the X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent in the past but did not make it to the audition stage until this year.

Katy Markey, 27, a producer at City Youth Theatre Company in Brighton, first met Cocozza when he joined the Brighton Theatre Group.



She said: ‘It has been a shock seeing Frankie on the X Factor. He was never such a lad in the past, though I think the girls liked his cheeky personality. He didn’t portray himself as a ladies’ man before.

‘When I saw him on TV and saw the tattoos on his bum, I thought, “Oh Frankie, what have you done?”

‘I don’t think he will win, because he hasn’t got the best voice. Maybe someone will sign him up after this. Or he could be a TV presenter. I think he’s quite similar to Russell Brand.’

Cocozza’s antics do not seem to have endeared him to the audience. He is now the bookies’ 6/5 favourite to get the boot from the show in this weekend’s double eviction.

Tulisa Contostavlos has fallen ill, just a week after rival judge Kelly Rowland missed two shows with a viral throat infection.

The 23-year-old had to call out an emergency doctor in the middle of the night on Thursday, and cancelled all X Factor promotional commitments yesterday.

Foul-mouthed: Finalist Frankie Cocozza, 18, swore on Sunday night's X Factor results show

The X Factor was forced to apologise after heartthrob contestant Frankie Cocozza swore on the live broadcast well before the 9pm watershed.

The teenage wannabe uttered the expletive towards the end of Sunday night’s results show when he was told he was through to another week in the ITV talent competition.

As Sami Brookes and Kitty Brucknell were left in the bottom two, tousle-haired Cocozza, 18, jumped around the stage before embracing his mentor, Gary Barlow, and yelling: 'F*****g have it, get in there.'

Turning the air blue: Cocozza fist-pumped the air as he yelled the expletive

Although his language was picked up by fans across the Internet and on Twitter, there was no apology from host Dermot O’Leary or from the ITV announcer following the live one-hour show which finished at 9pm.

The student from Brighton, who has flaunted tattoos of his alleged conquests etched on his bottom, later gave a grudging apology for his outburst on the ITV2 spin-off show the Xtra Factor.

He said 'sorry’ when reminded of his swearing by the show’s host Olly Murs.
An X Factor spokeswoman told the Daily Mail: 'Emotions were running high during the live show and we apologise if any potentially offensive language was audible.

Relief: The 18-year-old was clearly thrilled after being voted through to next week's show

'All the contestants are reminded of their responsibilities regarding language on the live shows.'

An ITV source said Cocozza, whose wild antics which include late-night partying during the show’s run, will be given a stern warning for his language.

According to ITV sources, the broadcaster did not make an immediate on-air apology because bosses thought the swearing wasn’t clearly audible.

Rude gesture: Cocozza also stuck his finger up at cameras during a VT on Saturday night's episode

But by yesterday afternoon ITV had received 20 complaints about the swearing.

Viewers were quick to rebuke Cocozza, with Michael Vaughan tweeting: ‘Frankie Cocozza swearing on live TV in front of millions of families #notcool #xfactor .’

While Tegan Cornish added: ‘Frankie Cocozza swearing on the X Factor! Tut tut tut.'

Honest: Cocozza admitted he was the 'weakest singer' in the X Factor on Twitter

And Frankee Brooks said: ‘What a disgrace Frankie Cocozza is! I’m ashamed to be called Frankee! He should be kicked out swearing like that! Role model! I think not!'

Cocozza had already come under fire for a lacklustre performance of Primal Scream’s Get Your Rocks Off on Saturday’s rock-themed show.

Lily Allen was among those criticising his performance. She wrote: “Oh God Frankie Cocozza, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.’

But the youngster thanked the audience for booing him, saying: ‘Thank-you for the boos, it’s going to make me do better.’

Just friends? Cocozza and former X Factor contestant Amelia Lily were spotted chatting after Sunday's live show

The hopeful has claimed to have lost his virginity at the age of 12 and to have slept with more than 60 women in the intervening six years, adding that he doesn’t remember most of their names.

The teenager has also styled himself as the bad boy among the show’s remaining contestants, with his trademark messy hairstyle and skinny jeans.

However he has failed to totally endear himself to the British public after being left in the bottom two last week.

Despite the high octane nature of the live X Factor shows, overt swearing is extremely rare.

Rock 'n' roll: Cocozza managed to survive until next week, despite being in the bottom two a week ago

In 2008 judge Louis Walsh was thought to have told a singer that she was ‘so f***g amazin’ it was later claimed that he said she was 'soulful and amazing'.

Last year’s final was blighted when the winner singer Matt Cardle was announced and runner up Harry Styles from the band One Direction appeared to whisper a profanity in his ear.

Meanwhile, Louis Walsh yesterday hit back at reports he was set to be axed from the X Factor.

He had been forced to apologise for calling contestant Misha Bryan a bully on Saturday’s show.

But he revealed show supremo Simon Cowell had texted him to say: ‘I give you my word your job is safe.’

On Sunday night, 300,000 fewer viewers tuned in for the results show than watched a week earlier.
