Frankie Cocozza and Wayne Rooney engaged in a mini Twitter row earlier today.
The war of words began after the former X Factor contestant made comments about the footballer's possible scent, along with the hashtag 'celebs that look like they stink'.
He wrote: "Not really a celeb but I bet his pits are stinking, along with his breath," before linking to Rooney's Twitter page.
Rooney retaliated: "sorry who are u again. Oh yeah i remember ur the kid who was on x factor who couldnt sing (sic)".
Shortly afterwards Cocozza wrote in response: "Just got merked by Rooney, personally I think that's quite sick."
He later appeared to make a backwards apology to the Manchester United striker, saying: "thankyou for making my day, knew I'd hit a nerve. I don't like you atall.. But bring home the goods this summer please."
Cocozza has amassed over 400,000 followers on Twitter since signing up in October. Rooney joined the site in April after his wife Coleen began to receive abuse on her profile.
The singer has been linked with a place in January's Celebrity Big Brother alongside the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Natasha Giggs.
