Singing star Susan Boyle said she will never be forced out of her childhome home in West Lothian despite finding an intruder inside.
Speaking to STV News Susan reassured fans and said: "I'm very well, thank you, and everything's now under control and is being dealt with by the police and by those concerned. I'm a lot calmer than I was last night.
"There's absolutely nothing to worry about."
"He did give me quite a scare, but I think he got more of a scare than I did because he made off! But these things have to be looked at the appropriate manner by the appropriate people, and I'm sure it'll be sorted out very soon."
Asked is she'd be moving, the unflustered star said: "I'm staying right where I am - there's nobody pushing me out of my house, nobody's going anywhere."
The man ran out of her front door when the Britain's Got Talent star returned to her house in Blackburn on Tuesday night Police were called in after she found some of her possessions had been disturbed inside the house.
Officers detained a 16-year-old man but he was later released without charge and investigations are continuing.
The singer returned home on Wednesday as forensics officers combed her home and garden for clues.
She told waiting reporters: "I'm fine, I am absolutely fine. It is quite worrying, quite disconcerting for everyone, but the matter is in hand.
"The police have been really good about it. They've been very excellent."
Prior to the break-in at her home, she had been recording her contribution to Simon Cowell's Help Haiti charity single.
She said: "It's nice to be part of something. It's nice to give something back."
