British Forces News was given exclusive behind the scenes access during Cheryl Cole's visit to Camp Bastion to film with soldiers for tonight's Daily Mirror Pride of Britain awards.
The former X Factor judge made the 12-hour flight from RAF Brize Norton last month.
The 28-year-old star's trip coincided with the 10th anniversary of British operations in the country and she said she was "delighted" to make the trip.
She told Forces News how she had learned so much about what the military was doing there.
As part of the visit, the Girls Aloud singer met British soldiers, sailors and airmen, with one of the troops even handing her his phone number!
