London, Oct 8 : Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood slammed his estranged wife Jo over her act in British television show "Strictly Come Dancing" saying she has been "cheapening" herself to win popularity.

Thesun. co. uk reports that Wood told her this through late-night messages.

"Ron has been getting on Jo's case for agreeing to appear in 'Strictly...' He reckons she has done it to win a popularity contest and get people on her side. He thinks it's cheap to be involved in what he sees as a silly dancing show with fame-hungry wannabes. The messages have been persistent and Jo managed to ignore them for a while," said a source.

"But they have started getting her upset now and it has all been a bit too much this week. Ron can be a hurtful devil when he wants to be," added the source.

Wood has left Jo for his 21-year-old Russian girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova. (IANS)
