Popstar Cheryl Cole, who is battling heartbreak following separation from footballer husband Ashley Cole, has been named the most searched celebrity on mobile phones.

The 26-year-old beauty's song Fight For This Love became the most downloaded track and video clip, Contactmusic reported.

The Girls Aloud singer was a winner in the results, which were put together by the Orange Digital Media Index (ODMI) and received over 40 per cent more phone searches than Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus, who came second, and Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson, who was placed third.

"Mobile searches are a real barometer of fame and reflect the public's fascination with celebrities when on the move," Paul Jevons from Orange, said.

Cole edged past the likes of The Black Eyed Peas song Meet Me Halfway, which was the second most sought after track and Lady Gaga's single Bad Romance which grabbed the third position.
