Jo Wood reveals Mick Jagger used to ‘try it on’ with her during wild Rolling Stones tours as she recalls the heartbreaking way she found out her marriage to Ronnie was over

Jo Wood has revealed Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger used to ‘try it on’ with her, even while she was dating his bandmate Ronnie Wood.

The model, 70, met legendary rock guitarist Ronnie in 1977 and was married to him from 1985, joining the band for their wild tours across four decades.

They split up in 2009 but eventually became friends again although the pair, who share Leah, 46, and Tyrone, 41, rarely see each other.

Jo still has fond memories of exciting trips across the world with the Stones and told the Living And Living podcast with Lizzie Cundy and Mike Parry that despite Mick’s advances, she ‘only had eyes for Ronnie’.

She 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.

‘I only had eyes for Ronnie.

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

MailOnline has approached Mick Jagger’s representatives for comment. 

Jo and Ronnie had a high-profile divorce in 2009, with Jo citing his affair with girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova.

She explained that Ronnie had even brought his new lover back to the family home after a drunken night out.

‘I still get on with Ronnie whenever I see him,’ he said. ‘I was devastated [when we broke up]. He was drinking so much at that time, he’d been in and out of rehab seven times. 

‘He was a loony. I always thought I’d be able to rescue him and I couldn’t.

‘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 recalled that she had no clue about Ekaterina’s visit to their Ireland home until the press told her about it at her front door.

The model then went on a day of family counselling with Ronnie, during which she realised it was over and the rocker told her that they should remain friends in the future. 

‘I went home [after a family day of counselling] and cried my heart out,’ she told the podcast.

Jo kicked off her modelling career in the 70s and was The Sun’s Face of 1972 before marrying Peter Greene in 1973.

The pair divorced three years later, after having son Jamie in 1974, and Jo met Ronnie at a party in London in 1977.

They hit it off immediately and the model was soon on her way to Paris to record the Stones’s hit album Some Girls with the group.

The star reflected on the hedonistic days of the 70s and 80s as she travelled with the band on infamous tours across the world.

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 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”.’
