NICOLE Kidman has husband Keith Urban on the equivalent of a ball and chain, according to wild gossip spreading on the internet.
The says Kidman is so worried that her country boy might backslide back into the booze, she will lock a remote-controlled alcohol monitor around his ankle.
Urban, who has recently finished a stint in rehab for alcohol addiction is allegedly fine with the restriction as he is determined to prove he can stay sober.
It is believed the gadget is a Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (also known as the SCRAM). A similar device is worn by 30 Rock star Tracy Morgan under a court order.
The SCRAM is described as an ankle bracelet worn to test for alcohol vapours that come out of the skin.
The tests will go on every 30 minutes for 90 days for Morgan, but the device can be set for any time frame.
