    So far i have this: 

    <?php query_posts(array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'),'showposts' => 1 )); ?>
	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

				<?php the_content(''); ?>

	<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    But the problem is its not STICKY posts that are showing. its just showing a random post.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Try to avoid using query_posts for something like this. Try using get_post instead.

    i tried that, the problem is now that its showing the data from the other loop on the page i.e the ‘latest news’ loop.

    fixed it. I was missing the <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> at the bottom of my first loop.

    <?php query_posts(array('post__in'=>get_option('sticky_posts'),'showposts' => 2 )); ?>

	<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

				<?php the_content(''); ?>

	<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

    so the code above worked great.
