“LEWD” FRANKIE THE NEW FAVOURITE TO WIN BIG BRO

(24 January 2012) Frankie Cocozza has stormed into the lead to be crowned winner of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother despite being branded “lewd” and being accused of sexual harassment by his fellow housemate Karissa Shannon.

Paddy Power slashed the odds on the former X Factor contestant to just 5/4 to win as punters piled in to show their support for the cheeky eighteen-year-old.   

Trouble started on Monday night when Loose Woman Denise Welch jokingly pulled down Playboy bunny Karissa’s pyjama bottoms to reveal her bare bottom. The blonde bombshell however failed to see the funny side and quickly took to the Diary Room to vent her fury. As well as threatening to sue the Big Brother show the model also claimed Frankie sexually harassed her every day.

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power said: “It was gripping viewing on Monday night as it all kicked off in the Big Brother house but the punters have jumped to Frankie’s defence. Just the other day Karissa commented that Frankie was “your typical eighteen year old” so they’re not impressed at all with her latest claims.”

The recent spat appears to have done the twins no favours and they’re now 25/1 outsiders to win the show outright.
