Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins has died after being attacked in jail, prison sources have confirmed.

West Yorkshire Police said two men aged 25 and 43 had been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The disgraced rock star from Pontypridd was serving a 29-year sentence at HMP Wakefield for child sex offences.

Watkins, 48, was jailed in December 2013 for a string of child sex offences, including the attempted rape of a baby.

Police said they were called to the prison on Saturday morning to reports of a serious assault on a prisoner, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

A Prison Service spokesperson said it was aware of an incident at the prison but was "unable to comment further while the police investigate".
