Spinner.com reports that Cole will join Snow Patrol for their song 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' at the Royal Albert Hall.

She will sing the lines originally sung by Martha Wainwright on the album version of the track.

The concert will feature a number of artists singing together.

Lightbody told Spinner.com: "Everyone gets a partner, it was like getting a partner at school. We got the prettiest girl in the class.

"People have raised an eyebrow now and again when we've mentioned we're doing it with Cheryl Cole but I think it's going to be a really interesting experience.

"She said, 'What song do you want to do?' and we said that, and she went away and listened to it. I think she'd only heard a couple of our singles. She got back straight away and said, 'Yeah, I'm up for it'. Hats off to her."
