He also told the newspaper that he became aware of the drugs in his house at an early age, and from 10 he was stealing Keith Richards' joints from the ashtray,as Dailymail reports.

'Dad was God,' he said, adding that Ronnie's fame meant he had 'no friends' as no parents would allow their children to visit the Woods house.

Jamie's life hit a rockier patch in 2011, when his ex-model mother and Ronnie went through a turbulent divorce - all in the public eye.Jamie, who now has three children of his own, is not Ronnie's biological son, but grew up with the musician, his mother Jo Wood and three siblings - Leah, Tyrone and Jesse

Jo and Ronnie had separated three years earlier after 24 years of marriage.

This was sparked by his father's infidelity, and, as reported in The Times, his 'stumbling into the house with a cocktail waitress' in 2009.

Shortly before this, Jamie had been organising his father's affairs after a property deal allegedly turned bad. Jamie claimed that Ronnie was forced to remortgage his £5 million home.

In a candid interview with The Times, Jamie Wood, 48, delved into his experience growing up with an astronomically famous father, and the impact this had on his upbringing.

Jamie, who now has three children of his own, is not Ronnie's biological son, but grew up with the musician, his mother Jo Wood and three siblings - Leah, Tyrone and Jesse.

He described growing up with his unusual family as 'always being second' to his father, who Jamie said 'always came first'.

The father-of-three attended 17 schools in various countries, and Jamie recalled coming downstairs in the early hours to the likes of Christopher Reeve and Michael J Fox in his home.

The problem being, lawyers organising the divorce wanted a 'clean break', and Jamie claimed he was never paid for his managerial role.

The situation 'destroyed me', Jamie said. 'There was no loyalty there.

'He was off, drunk.'

When Jamie tried to get his father to intervene 'he didn't pick up'.

Jamie was previously forced to deny rumours he was selling £1.5million worth of his father's memorabilia.

In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the 48-year-old insisted that he's not interested in living in the 'shadow' of the iconic rock group - clearing up the much-publicised 'rift' between him and Ronnie.
