Ronnie Wood, estranged husband of Strictly Come Dancing competitor Jo Wood, has reportedly accused her of ‘cheapening herself’ by agreeing to appear on the show.

The Sun claims that Ronnie has been texting Jo incessantly trying to get her to quit the show and as the dancer struggles with the flu this week, she is finding it hard to carry on.

A source said: “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.

“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.”
