A BRITISH world champion GURNER has finally had her feat officially recognised by Guinness World Records for World's Ugliest Woman.

Anne Woods was accepted into the record books after winning the world title 27 times. The contest takes place in her hometown of Egremont, Cumbria, at its regular Crab Fair.

And after her latest success in September, her daughter Brenda Hoey applied to have her included in the prestigious tome.

Judges have now confirmed Anne, 62 - who performs to the sound of Babybird's hit You're Gorgeous - will appear in the next edition of the book alongside fellow Cumbrian Tommy Mattinson, who has won the men's title eleven times.

Anne said: "It feels so great to have been accepted. It's not before time - I've won it 27 times.

"I haven't decided yet if I will carry on with gurning. It's a possibility I might retire.

"I don't think my record will be beaten though."

Anne started gurning when she was 30 — but it was not her choice.

Daughter Brenda said: "My brothers Brian and Robert entered her for a laugh and she just went up on stage and did it - and she won."

That was in 1977 and 33 years later Anne is still contorting her famous face.

Drama hit this year's competition when Anne collapsed and was rushed to hospital after leaving the stage.

Brenda added: "I think this year gave her a bit of a shock, but she's known for gurning and that's what she'll do.

"It's a big part of her life."

Anne has only missed the competition once and that was because she was heavily pregnant.

The following year she was back up on stage to reclaim her crown — just two weeks after giving birth to Brenda.
