Ananova:

Westlife and Ronan Keating have slammed Bob Geldof for deciding they weren't cool enough to be on Band Aid 20.

Westlife's Nicky Byrne told the Daily Star he was disappointed not to have been involved and could have helped the charity single sell more copies.

He said: "We couldn't compete with U2 or Coldplay but it would have been fanatastic to have been part of it. We'd have given anything to be on that record."

And Ronan told Channel 4's Richard and Judy Show: "They're not going for pop acts, they want credible cool acts.

"If that works, fair enough, but at the end of the day they want to make money for the cause so they should think about that."

The new Band Aid 20 version of Do They Know It's Christmas will soon be available as a charity ringtone on Orange World. Text RINGTONE BANDAID to 247 for free for details.
