SMITTEN Will Young fan Anna Waters was sitting alongside her idol as he clinched the number one spot.

The 15-year-old, of Scholes Lane, Prestwich, was present as it was announced live on air that Will was top of the pops with the song Leave Right Now.

Anna, a pupil at King David School, had been picked from more than 3,000 callers to the radio show and correctly answered questions to beat other finalists in a contest over the airwaves.

At the Capital FM studio, Anna and her mum spent more than an hour with the star, who signed autographs, posed for pictures and chatted.

Anna, who has attended all of Will's concerts, said: "When I was introduced to Will we shook hands and he said that it was lovely to meet me. I was in shock by this point.

"We sat down and he was so polite and well mannered. He really was a true gentleman and made my dream come true.

"The best part was being next to Will when he was announced number one on the singles chart. That really was something I will never forget and I was very lucky to be there."
