A source said: “Frankie and Bianca were madly in love but things just fizzled out over time.

“They have remained on good terms for the sake of their son, Frankie Jr, but have both moved on.

“Bianca has ditched Cocozza as her surname and he has removed all trace of her from his Instagram.”

Frankie met Bianca shortly after moving to Australia and the pair went Insta official in October 2017.

They tied the knot in May 2018 back in Brighton and the following year they welcomed their baby boy.

Frankie had a brief but lucrative career in reality TV before moving Down Under.

In unprecedented circumstances, Frankie was axed from X Factor after "breaking a golden rule" - with it later revealed that he had boasted about using cocaine in front of production staff.

In 2012, he came second in Celebrity Big Brother, losing to Denise Welch, and would rack up around £4,000 per club appearance, along with money from magazine deals.

But despite getting a reported £30,000 to star on CBB, his £200,000 fortune quickly diminished and at one stage he was left with just £5 in the bank.

Ten years on, Frankie revealed that he still struggles with cocaine abuse, openly admitting: "I'm a drug addict."

But he insisted that he's trying to stay clean for the sake of his young son, Frankie Jr.

“I have made a conscious effort to try and stop since the bubba’s been born," he affirmed.

"I feel bad because I’m saying I love it and that, but I know what I need to do as a dad now, and that’s not to do it."

The Sun has contacted Frankie for comment.
