ROLLING STONES star RONNIE WOOD's wife JO has denied he has left her for an 18-year-old Russian waitress.
Jo Wood and Ronnie Wood at The wedding of Leah Wood and Jack McDonald held at Southwark Cathedral, London, England - 21.06.08
Wood has reportedly left his wife of 23 years for teenager Muscovite Ekaterina Ivanova and has taken her on a romantic trip to Ireland.
According to British newspaper the Sun, Ekaterina has told friends Wood has ended his marriage.
But Jo - who believed the pair were on a painting holiday - has strongly denied the reports.
She says, "She is mad - she is a terrible alcoholic.
"I know her - she's been here. She's a friend and he's a guy. I was quite all right that she was hanging around with him.
"They have been staying in Ireland and Ronnie's art man was with them. Ronnie told me she was staying there and I said, 'OK - get on with it and have a drink, go mad. Drink your guts up'.
"They're not boyfriend or girlfriend - not in that way."
But Jo admitted she was worried about her rocker husband - because the alcoholic has started drinking again.
She adds, "He's drinking heavily - maybe two bottles of vodka a day."
It is believed Wood met the 18-year-old in a bar after the April (08) premiere in Leicester Square of the Rolling Stones concert film Shine A Light.
Last month (June08), Wood checked himself into rehab before his daughter Leah's wedding in fear he was losing his battle with alcohol addiction.
