Singer Joss Stone insists she's 'absolutely fine' after two men were charged with conspiracy to rob and commit grievous bodily harm in a suspected plot against the soul singer.

Police officers found a car - flagged up by concerned neighbours - allegedly containing swords, rope, a body bag and overalls near Joss' £500,000 home in rural Devon on Monday.

They two individuals arrested were also said to have had detailed maps and photos of her sprawling country property.

'The men had information and items that lead us to suspect that they may have intended to commit a criminal offence,' says Detective Inspector Steve Parker.

Joss, who has a reported £9m fortune and attended good friend Prince William's wedding in April, has been keeping a low profile with friends and family.

'I'd like to thank everyone for their concern,' says Joss, 24, 'but I'm absolutely fine
and getting on with life as normal while the police continue with their
inquiries,' 

Junior Bradshaw, 30, and Kevin Liverpool, 33, from Manchester are due to appear in court in Devon today.
