A source said: "Ronnie's very mixed up at the moment. Alcohol has taken hold of his senses."He is totally smitten with Ekaterina and told her he was going to try and sneak a mobile phone into rehab so they could still be in contact with each other."Jo is distraught. She won't speak to Ronnie until he is sober."Friends of Jo, 53, claim she has gone to Barcelona to "teach Ronnie a lesson" and "get her head straight."
