Ronnie Wood is barred by club from VIP room

As a member of rock'n'roll royalty, he's not exactly used to being refused the star treatment. But Ronnie Wood found himself drinking with the regular Joes at Whisky Mist last night after being banned from the VIP area.

Denied: Ronnie Wood and girlfriend outside Whisky Mist

The 61-year-old Rolling Stone guitarist, who was with 20-year-old girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, was given the cold shoulder by staff - as the club's PR Michael Evans is good mates with Ron's estranged wife Jo.

We're told: "Ronnie arrived shortly after midnight with his girlfriend. Everyone was staring at them and it looked like they were loving all the attention. A few minutes later a member of security came over to the PR of the club and told him that Ronnie had arrived. The PR was overheard telling security that they were not allowed in the VIP room under any circumstances."

Our spy added: "Ronnie was forced to stand in the main bar along with all the other clubbers but, to be fair to him, he didn't seem to mind too much."

Well, it probably takes more than a miffed club PR to faze an international rock legend.

The couple left at 2am, and Ronnie was so hammered when he got home that one of his minders had to help him inside his house.
