However, Ekaterina has been using Facebook to tell friends she and theguitarist are having a relationship.
A friend told The Sun: 'She is absolutely besotted with Ronnie. She has told everyone Ronnie has left his wife for her and they are a full-on item.
'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.’ Alcoholic and he’s fallen off the wagon.
'He is drinking two bottles of vodka a day and there is no way he would be behaving like this if he was sober.
