HE ROCKS IN BED

Sunday Mirror, Jul 13, 2008 by LOUISE FORD

VETERAN rocker Ronnie Wood seduced his teenage lover by serenading her with love songs on his guitar, her jilted boyfriend revealed last night.

It led to the 61-year-old Rolling Stone enjoying a series of marathon sex romps with 19-year-old waitress Ekaterina Ivanova - who later bragged that Ronnie was "amazing" in bed.

Last night ex-love Chris Kiely, 26, told how he watched in amazement as married dad-of-four Ronnie wooed, pursued and then ran off with his other half.

"You never think you are going to lose your gorgeous girlfriend for a wrinkly old man - but that is exactly what happened," said crestfallen Chris.

He thought Ekaterina - known as Katia - was joking when she left his flat for midnight trips to Ronnie in London bars.

But a month into their relationship, unemployed Katia confessed that she was leaving him for Ronnie, explaining to a gobsmacked Chris they were in love and planned a future together.

She also boasted how Ronnie:

PROMISED to buy her a flat of her own in London

ENJOYED romps in the bath together and was "very experienced", possessing "lots of stamina"

SERENADED her with the guitar and even wrote her love songs

TALKED fondly of his four kids and home life - but said he planned to leave Jo, his long-suffering wife of 23 years.

Heartbroken Jo is currently staying out at a secluded seaside bolthole.

Chris said that he and Katia, who is originally from Kazakhstan, started dating in March this year after the pair had been friends for more than two years.

The lovebirds enjoyed going out together without either of them realising that their friendship was turning into romance.

But a fortnight into the relationship in April, Katia met rocker Ronnie at the aftershow party of the Rolling Stones movie Shine A Light in Leicester Square.

She didn't even recognise Ronnie when he started chatting her up - and even told the rock idol to f*** off.

But at the end of the evening, wannabe artist Katia and Ronnie - dad of Jesse, 30, Leah, 29, Tyrone, 24, and Jamie, 33 - swapped numbers and agreed to meet again.

Chris said: "One night Katia was going on about how she'd met Ronnie Wood. We were still seeing each other. I don't know how she got into the party, but she knows a lot of people on the London circuit.

"When she's had a few drinks, Katia is quite funny and she was cheeky to him.

"She didn't recognise him and when he started flirting with her, she told him to f*** off. But he kept on chatting to her. He's very charming, by all accounts.

"I felt a bit weird about it, but didn't think I had to worry about a man of 61, with me being over 30 years younger - even if he did have a lot of money."

But Chris became suspicious when Katia would be watching TV at his flat in Peckham and Ronnie would call on her mobile begging to meet for drinks in London's West End.

Chris said: "It was unbelievable. She would be at my place and get a call from Ronnie. She'd go off and meet him in some swanky bar and wouldn't come back.

"If she'd tried to call, I wouldn't speak to her. We were still seeing each other and she was off meeting someone else - Ronnie Wood, of all people. To be honest, I thought she was bulls****ing."

And he went on: "Ronnie is a very lucky man to be with her. She is a very generous lover. She wasn't into anything kinky - but she loves sex."

And Chris said she told him that Ronnie particularly enjoys it when she performs a sex act on him in the bath.

Katia - an amateur artist who writes and illustrates children's books and used to work as a waitress in a seedy escort bar - claimed Ronnie, a respected painter, wanted to get her a publishing deal.

She also started posing for him as an artist's model and was invited to his bolthole in Ireland, where he likes to go for inspiration and where she has been holed-up with him for the last week.

He said: "Kat writes and illustrates her own children's books and Ronnie found them very charming.

"He started inviting her to Ireland to plan it. She also modelled for his paintings and he told her she would get a cut if any of them sold. I was a bit jealous, I couldn't really compete.

"She would even call me from Ireland and talk about his dogs and his race horse. We hadn't been dating very long, so it's not like I could do much about it. This current trip to Ireland of hers isn't the first time she's been out there. She's been there with him quite a few times.

"But she always goes out there on EasyJet, so there's no fuss and they aren't seen travelling together."

And, as roadie Chris toured the country with rock bands, he started to lose touch with Katia. In what turned out to be their final date, at London nightclub Push in April - a month after they had started dating - Katia admitted to Chris that she was seeing Ronnie romantically.

"I was stunned," he said. "How could me, Chris the roadie, compete with him, Ronnie the Rock God? So that was me - dumped!"

But they decided to keep in touch by phone, as they didn't want to lose contact - and so Chris has been privy to her blossoming romance with Ronnie.
