Cheryl Cole has topped a list of mobile phone online celebrity searches, according to a UK report. Cole's marital woes and separation made headlines daily in the UK in recent weeks following a novel sex-texting scandal that enveloped her football star husband Ashley.

The Mirror reports a study of cell phone use showed the tiny Cole was 40 per cent ahead of Miley Cyrus and Robert Pattinson in searches.

The Orange Digital Media Index had Cole at the top, while the Orange Music Store reported her single Fight For This Love ahead of Lady Gaga and The Black Eyed Peas on a tunes download chart.

Fight For This Love's video came first in a video download chart and beat out the trailer for Twilight: New Moon and The-X Factor final.

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

With Britain's Got Talent on the horizon, the nation's other sweetheart - Amanda Holden - could well challenge Cheryl for the number one spot.' The fourth celeb on the list was Emma Watson followed by Amanda Holden, Vanessa Hudgens, Taylor Lautner, Danielle Lloyd, Billie Piper and Lindsay Lohan.
