Models who say they attended boozy and cocaine-fuelled parties with Donald Trump have spoken out the first time about his alleged 'sexually inappropriate behaviour'.

One told BBC's Panorama she felt like "a piece of meat at a meat market" while another described the parties in the 80s and 90s as a "feeding frenzy" as middle-aged men apparently preyed on teenage girls.

The women claim the US president - then aged in his 40s - hosted and attended the events bursting with models, some as young as 14 or 15.

An anonymous man, who also claims to have attended, told the programme the parties were notorious for wealthy older men who wanted to have sex with young girls and there was "a lot of cocaine around".

There’s no evidence that Trump took cocaine or had sex with underage girls, but Panorama has been told he did pursue models in their late teens.

The White House hasn’t responded to the claims.

Barbara Pilling told Panorama she was 17 when she was told by her modelling agency to go to one of the future president's parties in New York.

She’s never talked publicly about the party before, but she says he hit on her.

"He said how old are you, and I said 17," she said.

"He goes 'oh great, so you're not too old and not too young. That’s just great.'"

She added: "I felt like I was in the presence of a shark getting ready to roll his eyes back in his head and bite me, you know, that's how I felt. It was just like get the hell out of here.

"I remember one of the waitresses offered him a drink. He didn’t take the drink and he slapped her bottom. She was a blonde.

"He gave her butt a slap and he was very loud. He was like, don't worry that's not your tip."

She says other models at the party were also talking about Trump’s behaviour.

"So I went to the washroom, and I was going in and a girl was coming out, and I go have you talked to that Trump guy, you know?" she said.

"She goes yeah, as I was walking by he's like trying to grab my ass."

A man who attended several of the parties, who didn't want to be named, told Panorama that wealthy older men went to the events to have sex with young models.

"There was a lot of cocaine around, there was a lot alcohol," he revealed.

"There were all older men these were guys who could easily be their fathers two times over, and you had men in their fifties, sixties on up. It was kind of like a feeding frenzy. The girls were there as consumables."

He says that Trump was well-known for his behaviour with young models at the parties.

"We do know that he was having sex with them, no question about it," he added.

"The next day or days after we would hear about it. He would brag about it to his friends and it would get around that he scored, you know, maybe one or two girls at a time, which is what he loved to do."

Another former model, Heather Braden, has also spoken for the first time about a party in Florida.

At 23 years old, she was one of the oldest women present.

"I remember particularly seeing him at, at a party at a house in Miami," she told the BBC.

"This particular party there were four men and probably 50 models. And I was one of the models. I felt like a piece of meat in a meat market. You know I mean what else could I feel like?"

President Trump has previously denied allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour from more than 20 women. He says their allegations are politically motivated and the women are lying.

One of those, former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, has taken a defamation case against the president for calling her a liar.

The judge has ordered Trump to be deposed, which means he could be questioned under oath.
