Ronnie Wood has flown back to the U.K. in an attempt to save his marriage, according to reports.Wood was rumoured to have left his wife, Jo, for 20-year-old Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova and whisked her away on a romantic trip to Ireland last week (beg07Jul08).He also reportedly declared that his marriage had been "dead for five years" - and his wife allegedly called time on their 23-year relationship.But Wood is now refusing to accept that his marriage is over and flew back to England on Tuesday (15Jul08) to talk through the situation with his son, Jesse.A friend of the rocker tells British publication The Sun, "Jesse Wood is at his side and he's going to make sure his dad is ok."He is a confidant and friend and just wants his dad well".And while wife Jo Wood is relieved that Wood is back in England and talking with his son, she is reportedly doubtful that they can patch things up until he stops drinking.A friend of Jo tells another British newspaper, the Daily Star, "All she is focused on right now is doing anything she can to get him sober. She is not worried about his so-called relationship with this girl.

"One thing Ronnie isn't is a philanderer. They may not have had the most conventional marriage but it is a strong one. Everyone is just hoping he'll sober up and see sense".

It was further reported that the Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood has now entered rehab in a bid to tackle his alcohol addiction, following his alleged affair with a Russian cocktail waitress.

The legendary rocker flew back to England on Wednesday (16Jul08) after a short break in Ireland with 18-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova.

Wood's wife Jo recently confirmed rumours he is drinking heavily again - admitting she is seriously worried about the 61-year-old's health.

A spokeswoman for Wood says, "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".

Wood checked himself into London's Priory Clinic last month (Jun08) after a wine-tasting session. According to his spokesman, he feared he would miss his daughter Leah's wedding if he did not seek treatment after drinking the wine.
