Wood 'runs off with Russian bargirl'

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has run off to Ireland with an 18-year-old Russian bargirl, The Sun claims.

Ekaterina Ivanova has been telling friends that she is in a relationship with the 61-year-old musician.

A friend of Ivanova is quoted as saying: "She has told everyone Ronnie has left his wife for her and they are a full-on item. She said she went to Ronnie’s house in London and has met his wife Jo.

"Ekaterina said Jo had told her she knew what was going on and begged her not to take her husband away. She claimed she told Jo, 'I am not taking him. He is leaving'.

"She and Ronnie have been seeing each other ever since."

However, Jo Wood denied that her husband had run off with Ivanova, saying that the pair are holidaying with an artist friend of Wood.

She said: "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'."
