Looking dazed and haggard, this is Ronnie Wood after two weeks on the wagon. The Rolling Stone was on his daily stroll outside his rehab centre in Surrey.

But by stark contrast, his wife Jo, who  flew to Barcelona at the height of the scandal, resurfaced in London, looking radiant despite her marriage troubles.

Wood checked in after returning from an alcohol-fuelled jaunt in Ireland with teenage Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova. Wood, 61, was apparently downing two bottles of vodka a day.

Seen accompanied by a male carer and seven other patients, he stared straight ahead as he walked through the streets.

An onlooker said: 'He does look thinner than before and much more frail. He had a down look on his face most of the time.

'He tried to talk to the other patients but seemed lost in his own thoughts most of the time.'

Part of his recovery programme involves counselling with family members – however Jo, his wife of 23 years was reportedly too upset to speak to him.

She is now back, and putting on a particularly brave face.

Mrs Wood, 53, looked radiant in a slinky black dress when arriving at the National Theatre in London to watch the play Never So Good.

She was also still wearing her wedding ring, suggesting she has not given up on her wayward husband. 

Unfortunately, neither has Miss Ivanova. The 19-year-old declared last week: 'We're in love, we're completely in love.'

She also claims that Wood has called her from rehab.

Wood, a father of four, was brought home from Ireland by son Jesse, 30, in a private plane paid for by Damian Hirst.

This is his seventh stint in rehab.
