X Factor Frankie is a cheeky liar, say girls behind the names of his sleazy tattoo

Boasts: Frankie Cocozza



It was the moment that confirmed this year’s X Factor is set to be the sleaziest yet.

Eighteen-year-old Frankie Cocozza bared his bottom to the nation to expose the tattooed names of seven girls he claimed were summer conquests.



Now, as the Mail reveals their full identities for the first time, the teenagers have told of their anger. Many of them were forced to call family and boyfriends to reassure them that they had not had sex with the contestant.





Denials: Emma Dodds, Roxanne Fowler, Cara Dolan and Natasha Hendry





Cocozza, who carried out the stunt in front of judges before singing, issued a hasty clarification and said the girls simply visited the bar where he worked while they were on holiday in Malia, Crete.



They agreed to have their names inked as part of a drunken dare. The names belonged to two groups of Scottish students.



Natasha Hendry, Emma Dodds, Cara Dolan and Roxanne Fowler, all 18, from West Calder, near Edinburgh, are on one cheek and Rachel Cathro, Jenna Robb and Ailsa Kane, from Dundee, are on the other.





Named: The tattoos





None has received an apology.



Yesterday Roxanne said: ‘We never would have done it if we thought he was going to show the whole world.



‘It’s horrible to think people would believe any of us – or even all four – slept with him.’

She said the group agreed to have their names tattooed because they thought it would be ‘a funny story to tell when we got home’.
