Pop singer Katie Melua has expressed concern for the safety of her mother and 16-year-old brother who are currently in war-torn Georgia.

The 24-year-old star is reported to be concerned for her family after Russian troops rolled into the separatist region of South Ossetia on Thursday evening.

Stating that her uncle may be conscripted into the Georgian army in light of the fierce clashes, Melua asked: "Whoever settled anything with war?"

Despite being granted British citizenship in 2005, Melua has always maintained that she views Georgia as her "true home" and said she was hoping on visiting her family in two weeks time.

A spokeswoman for the Radio 2 favourite said: "She is worried about her mum and brother being there."

Melua lived in Georgia until the age of eight.
