    Ronnie Wood's ex-wife has claimed Sir Mick Jagger used to "try it on" with her

    The Rolling Stones guitarist married Jo Wood in 1985 after eight years together and the 70-year-old model - who he split from in 2009 - recalled how she "felt crazy in love" with him and wasn't interested in anyone else, despite his bandmate allegedly attempting to attract her attention


    Speaking to Lizzie Cundy and Mike Parry on the 'Loving And Living' podcast, Jo said: "I felt crazy in love with [Ronnie]. He was funny, he was mad, he was great.

    "[Mick Jagger] certainly did try it on and I did get really mad at him. I said, 'In your wildest dreams Mick Jagger'. He had Jerry [Hall], I didn't fancy him at all.

    "[Mick] loves women, he does. Doesn't make him a bad person, I just didn't fancy him at all."

    Jo used to love travelling the world and partying with the Rolling Stones and quickly developed a strategy of trying to "make friends" with groupies so she could give them a warning to stay away from Ronnie.

    She said: "It was me, Keith and Ronnie as the little gang. We used to hang around and stay up all night.

    "The only [rivalry] there was Mick and Keith arguing. They argued a lot about everything.

    "Keith used to say, 'I can't stand that b****y song', and when Mick did an album Keith was furious and wouldn't talk to him for years.

    "There was always groupies and I would like at the girls backstage and think, 'I wonder if I'll see her back upstairs later', but I was always nice to them because if I made friends with them it's like, 'Leave my man alone'."

    Jo and Ronnie - who have Leah, 46, and Tyrone, 41, together - split following the 77-year-old rocker's alleged affair with Ekaterina Ivanova and she recalled her shock when he brought his lover to their home after a drunken night out.

    She said: "My friend said to me, 'Ronnie's been seen at a gig [with a woman]', I said, 'No he hasn't'. I found it was true and he said, 'It's just my drinking buddy', and I said, 'If it's just your drinking buddy then bring her over', and he did!

    "Because she was so young I didn't for a moment think he was actually s****ing her. She lit her cigarette on my stove and caught all her hair alight.

    "And then he went to Ireland but unbeknownst to me he took her with him and apparently she put on Facebook a picture of her in our house with the dogs."

    Jo and Ronnie went for a day of family counselling after she found out about the Ireland trip via the press, but the session made her realise her marriage was over.

    She said: "I went home and cried my heart out."
