Wood 'speaks to lawyers about Ivanova'

Ronnie Wood has reportedly been speaking to his lawyers about girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova.

The News of the World claims that the guitarist has been asking how to stop Ivanova speaking about their relationship if they split up.

"Ekaterina gives Ronnie constant earache and sticks to him like a limpet," a source said. "But he did sneak away for a phone conference with his brief. They discussed how to keep Ekaterina from revealing everything.

"She loves Wood and is unlikely to betray him. But she is fiery and unpredictable, and Ronnie's worried she'll reveal things said when his break-up with Jo was at its messiest.

"His ideal scenario is that Ekaterina agrees to keep her silence for a big payment."

Reports recently suggested that Wood reunited with Ivanova to stop her from selling her story.
