Cheryl Cole put down the microphone and picked up the phone today (December 3) as she became a stockbroker for charity.

The singer took part in ICAP's annual charity day, which sees the stock market company donate its revenue and commission to a variety of causes.

The Girls Aloud singer was seen on the phone as she brokered some deals.

Cole was joined by other celebrities such as Holly Willoughby, Peter Andre and the Duchess of Cornwall.

ICAP's charity day first started in 1993 and the company has raised around £100 million to date.

Cole meanwhile is currently enjoying a period of relative calm after Girls Aloud split at the end of their reunion tour earlier this year.

Her last solo album came in the shape of 2012's 'A Million Lights'.

That record reached No.2 in the UK upon release - a decline in the performance of her previous two records, which both hit No.1 in the country.
