Ronnie - who has previously been treated for alcoholism - returned to the UK from Ireland earlier this week after his son Jesse flew out to convince him to seek help.

A spokesperson confirmed he had entered a clinic for the seventh time, saying: "Following Ronnie's continued battle with alcohol, he has entered a period of rehab. His close family and friends say he is seeking help and look forward to his recovery."

It has also emerged that Ekaterina visited Ronnie the last time he was in rehab.

The rocker checked into the Priory clinic, London, last month after a wine tasting session prior to daughter Leah's wedding - and the young Russian visited him twice.

A source said: "Everyone thought this girl must have been Ronnie's daughter, but it quickly became apparent she wasn't.

"We then assumed she was a groupie."

Ekaterina reportedly left Ireland at the weekend, and according to her mum Irina, has now gone into hiding.

Ronnie met the part-time waitress during a night out in London.
