FSCS Cover

Hi,
I am a UK Expat living in Dubai, but have all my life savings with Santander UK (Under £50K)
If Santander UK go bust, will I still be covered by the FSCS compensation scheme, even though I am non UK domiciled and do not pay UK tax?
Should I move my money elsewhere, or will I be covered in the event of disaster?
I ask nervously as a previously bailed IceSave customer (when I was in the UK)
Cheers
Rich
