Ananova:

Westlife have scooped the Record of the Year 2003 title.

They beat off competition from 10 other finalists in a telephone and text vote across the ITV regions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Westlife, who topped this year's contest with their version of Mandy, have previously won with Flying Without Wings and My Love.

Busted came second with Year 3000, followed by Daniel Bedingfield with If You're Not The One.

The sixth annual live event was hosted by Cat Deeley.

The lads said they were "shocked and amazed" at winning the accolade which proved that despite being "old fellas" their fans had not deserted them.

They said: "This year, honestly we didn't know what was going to happen - we haven't been nominated for the past two years. It's unbelievable."
