Eric Clapton has revealed that Mick Jagger stole his girlfriend in the 1980s.

The 'Layla' rocker has claimed in his new autobiography that, despite pleading with the Rolling Stones frontman, he was unable to prevent him from wooing his woman.

Clapton recalls in the book that he told Jagger: "Please Mick, not this one. I think I'm in love."

The guitarist adds: "I knew Carla would appeal to his eye. For all my pleadings, it was only a matter of days before they started a clandestine affair.

"After Carla had stood me up a couple of times, I got a call from the girl who had introduced us, telling me Carla was seeing Mick and it was serious."
