As The Ronnie Churns

Ronnie Wood emerges from lock-in with teenage waitress for crisis talks with his son

Ronnie Wood emerged from his Irish bolthole for crisis talks with his son Jessie at the exclusive K Club last night.

It is the first time the 61-year-old guitarist has been seen since he 'battened down the hatches' at his £3million country mansion in County Kildare.

He is living there with 19-year-old Kazakhstan waitress Ekaterina Ivanova and, say friends, is struggling to control his alcoholism.

In a series of emotional phone calls, Jo Wood, 53, has asked the Rolling Stone to return home but he has so far defied her pleas.

His family are desperate for him to return to London and check in to rehab but believe it will be hard to persuade him to leave.

He has his own private pub in the sprawling grounds of the home, meaning he has a huge quantity of beer, wine and spirits available.

AND

Now the 61-year-old rock star's wife is said to have ended their 23-year-old marriage over his 'affair' with the waitress.

Jo Wood, 53, reportedly left an angry message on his phone while he was on a 10-day bender at his Irish retreat with 18-year-old Ekaterina.

Mr Kiely added that the teenager had even accompanied Wood to rehab where he was being treated for his drink problem.

Miss Ivanova is herself an amateur artist who has illustrated several children's books and has begged the Stone to help secure her a publishing deal.
