Frankie Cocozza gets married

Frankie Cocozza has got married.
The ‘Celebs Go Dating’ star took to his Instagram account on Sunday (06.05.18) night to announce that he had tied the knot with his partner Bianca Murphy in Brighton, East Sussex, just five months after they got engaged.
The former wild child – who was known for dating a string of girls – uploaded a photograph of him and his beautiful bride just minutes after they exchanged vows.
The 25-year-old star wore a dark suit with a gold shirt underneath, while Bianca stunned in a floor-length satin golden gown and white veil.
He captioned the shot: "Mr & Mrs."
Bianca announced that she and Frankie were engaged back in January.
She said at the time: "We’re getting hitched!!!! Cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you, you AMAZING beautiful human, I LOVE you unconditionally & Eternally."
Frankie found fame when he auditioned for ‘The X Factor’ in 2011 but he blew his £350,000 earnings on alcohol, drugs and designer gear.
He said recently: "I have no regrets. I didn’t have to have a real job for a long time after the show, and me and my mates had the best time.
"I went back to work because I needed more dough, but I think I was just bored. I sat in my room for the last three or four years playing guitar every day.
"I didn’t think it was going to end. I spent it all on Fred Perry and booze – among other things I won’t say. Over the years I think I’ve spent about £200,000 on ­alcohol."
Frankie found the attention he received afterwards from the public "horrible" and says he hit rock bottom after his best friend Connor died from a punch to the head.
He said at the time: "I lost my best mate Connor. It was a single punch and he died. He was the best person I’ve ever met. There was times that I would just wake up and was crying and I just didn’t know what was going on. It would last for weeks and I would talk to my dad and he said ‘What about counselling’."
