Ronnie Wood's ex-girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova has hit out at the Rolling Stones legend calling him an “evil goblin king.”

The 21-year-old Russian has predictably broken her silence on the volatile relationship with the guitarist – 44 years her senior – who split with his wife Jo Wood to be with her.

Ekaterina said: "The whole thing started off like a fairytale. But then it felt like an evil fairytale. 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."

She went on to blame cite his drinking as one of the reasons behind the relationship demise, adding:"He was like a child with tantrums when he was drunk, throwing water bottles and doing impressions of my voice.

"It was like trying to keep a child under control. In the end I was so unimpressed by everything."

The one-year relationship came to an abrupt halt earlier this month following a blazing row when Wood allegedly strangled Ivanova.
