Single again: Joss Stone has split from her boyfriend of two years Danny Radford

Earlier this week she took to the witness box at Exeter Crown Court to give evidence against the two men who had allegedly planned to kidnap and kill her.

And now it has been revealed that Joss Stone has called time on her relationship with the man who helped her through the terrifying ordeal.

The 25-year-old has allegedly split from Danny Radford, who she dated first started dating in 2008, after they 'drifted apart'.

According to the Mirror, since the break-up Danny has moved back to Australia as Joss waits on the verdict from the trial.

Speaking about the end of the couple's union, which lasted two years, a friend told the newspaper that the split has been amicable.

The source said: 'It’s sad because Joss and Danny made a great couple. They have known each other for years and were mates long before they started dating.

'But in the past few months they have drifted apart. There are no hard feelings and they are determined to remain friends.'

MailOnline have contacted a spokesperson for Joss Stone.

Danny was with Joss on the evening in June 2011 when Junior Bradshaw, 32, and Kevin Liverpool, 35, were arrested a few miles from Stone's Devon home after ‘eagle-eyed’ local residents contacted the police.

Spending time with her then boyfriend, builder Radford, as a break from her international jet-setting lifestyle, Joss had no inkling of the alleged plot to decapitate her with a samurai sword.

Dressed in the witness box on Monday, the Grammy award-winning singer said it was ‘creepy’ that people openly discussed her whereabouts.

Brave: On Monday Joss, 25, took to the witness box at Exeter Crown Court where Junior Bradshaw and Kevin Liverpool are on trial for her attempted kidnapping and murder

Asked in court if she had any reason to feel threatened at the time of the alleged murder plot, she replied: ‘Apart from the police coming around to say someone was trying to kidnap and kill me, it was a really nice day.

‘The police came round about midday and said these people were trying to kidnap me.'

She continued: ‘In the afternoon of the same day they came back and said, no, no, they are trying to kill me. That was strange.’

Stone told the court she never kept more than £1,000 in cash at her house and did not have a safe.

Explaining her attitude to security at her £500,000 home prior to the arrests, she said: ‘I had an alarm but I did not really turn it on very much. I didn’t really have a lock on my door which I could shut. But I do now.’

The pop star, who grew up in the county, added: ‘I’ve lived in Devon for a long time and nobody really shuts their doors around here.’ But she went on: ‘Now I do it. I turn the alarm on and I shut my windows at night.’

Miss Stone did not look at Liverpool or Bradshaw, the two men charged with plotting to kill her, while she gave evidence at their trial for just over 30 minutes.

Bradshaw and Liverpool, both from Manchester, deny charges of conspiring to rob, murder and cause grievous bodily harm to Miss Stone.

The trial at Exeter Crown Court continues.

How gorgeous Josh is, such a beauty, in addition to being talented, to me she is the total pack, just baffled as to why she is not a much bigger " star ". Hope she carefully chooses, who to hang out with and put " boyfriend " thing behind her...at her age and stage in carrier, she should not have such distractions, unless of course she is in the one "love" zone, which frankly is in nobody's control. Enjoy yourself girl. PS- To haters commenting on here, waste not your time hating people you barely know, besides, it is a cheap therapy, to lure yourselves into thinking your lives will be better, by being jealous, hateful and self pity. It'll only leave you sounding and looking like loosers. - Gunner1 , London, United Kingdom, 24/3/2013 10:48 It's 'losers'. Just saying

I'm just wondering what her accent is now.

She is a stunning girl and a stunning singer, its such a shame she went through that phase of putting on an American accent - I can still recall that stunned reaction at the concert in England when she started talking and had a heavy, clearly fake, American accent. Was toe curling and lost her her British fans I suspect

Can people just LEAVE the american accent stuff in the past now please? I am soo sick of hearing those comments everytime Joss is mentioned...she addressed it in an interview last year that she knew it was a mistake after she did it...so please, enough! She could do much worse things than putting on a fake accent anyway....she has an amazing talent and is very underrated, which i understand because many people find her arragont, but no denying that she has talent. I wish her the best
