Wood is an 'evil Goblin King'

She refused to press charges against him after he allegedly tried to throttle her in the street. But Ronnie Wood's young Russian lover has not waited long to exact her revenge.

Days after she went home to her mother, Ekaterina Ivanova has broken her silence about their rocky 18-month relationship — and pulled no punches.

The 21-year-old Russian-born waitress described alcoholic Wood, who is 41 years her senior, as the "evil Goblin King".

She said: "The whole thing started off like a fairy tale. But then it felt like an evil fairy tale. When Ronnie and I moved into a tower, my friends were laughing and saying I was like the princess trapped in the tower. He went all Jekyll and Hyde. I'd be trapped there with an evil Goblin King."

Ivanova told Hello! magazine that Wood's complete dependence on drink made him act like a child and made him impossible to live with.

She said: "I just don't think he could handle it [drinking] so well. Even if he wasn't nasty, he would start repeating the same jokes and I found them really irritating."

Ivanova claimed that Wood was desperate to make the relationship work, but she decided enough was enough.

"At the end I think he needed to be mothered. I tried and I tried but it didn't make me happy."
