Apparently, he broke a 'golden role'. I wonder what it was!

I'm also trying to figure out what this golden rule is too. Damn you Ok.com!!

crashdoll · 08/11/2011 14:08

I even resorted to looking at the Sun website to find out. hangs head in shame

The Golden Rule: you must have marketable talent. And he's got an awful voice that you can't do anything with.

Or, is it because he swore on tv?

MenopausalHaze · 08/11/2011 14:11

Ooh what's happened? I think he's absolutely ghastly - every time I look at him I just see Pete Doherty and that's never a nice experience!

MenopausalHaze · 08/11/2011 14:14

I love this!

An X Factor spokesperson said: 'Frankie is leaving the show today after breaking competition rules

He is going to take some time out before continuing his career as a singer

That should give him a fair bit of time to think about himself! Grin

Clossaintjacques · 08/11/2011 14:15

bring back Amelia Lily.

rainbow2000 · 08/11/2011 14:15

Ah dont be teasing me is he really gone.I couldnt stand him at all.He looked dirty and riddled with nits.

Thingumy · 08/11/2011 14:15

Gave someone a sti?

NoOnesGoingToEatYourEyes · 08/11/2011 14:16

Meno - I said the same thing to my SIL, he might have seven girls names on his backside but the rest of him is covered with the words 'Pete Doherty' and someone needs to step in now.

I don't know what he did, but I hope this is his wake up call.

HairyBeaver · 08/11/2011 14:18

I reckon a white substance may have been involved...

Icelollycraving · 08/11/2011 14:19

Probably a few lines of coke caught on camera somewhere.X factor is crap this year!

Thingumy · 08/11/2011 14:19

I think someone may of got caught with some white powder.

Sephiroth · 08/11/2011 14:21

I don't get all the hatred for him... he is a rubbish singer and in my opinion talentless, but all he did was act like every other young pop star out there. he probably got kicked out for swearing, but personally i think the execs have bottled it and got worried that he might win it - that would definitely spell the end of the x-factor! on the flip side, you have kitty who has an amazing voice (and incredible work ethic) but people won't vote for her... the public only have themselves to blame - i hope they re-instate frankie, he's a true representation of how low our society has sunk!

Misschief101 · 08/11/2011 14:21

I have a feeling this is all staged and Amelia Lily will be replacing him.

thousandDenier · 08/11/2011 14:26

Set. Up.

Quite possibly by him, if he's got any PR sense - avoiding getting voted out and leaving in a 'rock n' roll' fashion.

catgirl1976 · 08/11/2011 14:27

Ooooh how exciting - I couldn't stand him.

I exepct it was coke though. Whatever happens I hope he gets a good bath, he looks like he needed it

TurkeyBurgerThing · 08/11/2011 14:28

I would. 10 times on toast.

dancingmustard · 08/11/2011 14:32

Am I the only person who thinks the xfactor is shit_crap not very good?

WilsonFrickett · 08/11/2011 14:41

If the golden rule is 'thou shalt be able to sing in tune' then he broke it weeks ago. Must be drugs. Or maybe missed a rehearsal/was drunk for Sunday's show (apparently he was on a bender after Saturday's?)

Turkey really?

MenopausalHaze · 08/11/2011 14:42

I don't get all the hatred for him... he is a rubbish singer and in my opinion talentless, but all he did was act like every other young pop star out there

No - not every other pop star out there - just a few lowlifes who treat impressionable girls like shit and leave a trail of embarrassment and sleaze behind them. Oh yeah - and the fact that he's a rubbish singer and talentless - ok - so - errrr - what's to like exactly?

valiumredhead · 08/11/2011 14:47

He had half an hour's sleep before the show at the weekend and was still able to get up and (just about) perform, so maybe white powder was involved.

ViviPru · 08/11/2011 14:49

Agreed that this is probably all carefully stage-managed. They will never reveal what 'golden rule' was broken, rather fan the flames of coke rumours doing the rounds to make it all seem more credible, when in reality, Frankie's probably just been managed out.

I'm ambivalent about this years X. Love the judging panel (GB - who knew?) love a smattering of the acts, but hate how the producers keep assuming the public are stupid.

ViviPru · 08/11/2011 14:50

Oh and Dermot's little dance! Marvellous.

Thingumy · 08/11/2011 14:53

Am I the only person who thinks the xfactor is shit_crap not very good?

Nope,you are not.

I think it's a pile of wank.All of it.

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 08/11/2011 15:00

It's all right as entertainment goes, but they know exactly who is going to win, right from the start. The axings and media shock stories are all part of the hype. He probably hasn't done anything, he has just got to his turn in the plan!
