Cheryl Cole is famed as a songstress but, yesterday, she decided to put her voice to a brand-new use. And all for a very good cause.

Yup, Chezza swapped the bright lights of pop for the trading floor when she played broker for the day in a bid to raise money for charity.

And she wasn't alone, either!

Cheryl was joined by a host of celebs including Homeland's Damien Lewis, Strictly's Craig Revel Horwood, Brian McFadden, X Factor’s Jahmene Douglas, Barbara Windsor, the Duchess of Cornwall and Made in Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh.

Millie was seriously eager to get started, tweeting earlier in the day: “Excited for the @ICAPCharityDay I'm helping to raise money for @lgfbuk.”

Profits from the charity day went to charities including disaster aid group Shelterbox and the National Osteoporosis Society (Nos).

Since the first ICAP charity event back in 1993, the company has raised more than £100 million, with more than 60 offices taking part across the globe. Pretty impressive stuff!
