Frankie Cocozza has finally broken his silence over his shock exit from The X Factor with a revealing tweet to his fans and supporters. 

Writing on the social networking site late last night, November 9, he explained that he intends to continue and that "nothing's changed" despite having officially left the competition:

"Sorry to my supporters AND haters that I haven't tweeted for a bit, I always saw the Xfactor as a start.. Nothing's changed. God bless x"

It was also revealed last night that four previously eliminated acts (Amelia Lily, 2 Shoes, Jonjo Kerr and James Michael) will be given a second chance to rejoin the contest in a public popularity vote.
