A new video captures newlywed Donald Trump bragging about his attempts to seduce a married woman and boasting about how being a 'star' means he can get away with 'anything' when trying to bed a woman.

The recording, obtained by the Washington Post, was made on an Access Hollywood set in 2005 and captures Trump, newly married to Melania, discussing women with host Billy Bush.

The shocking outburst captures Trump detailing his pursuit of Nancy O'Dell, while Bush was also heard commenting and laughing.

Bush apologized for his role in the recording on Friday, saying in a statement: 'Obviously I'm embarrassed and ashamed. It's no excuse, but this happened eleven years ago - I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry.'

RNC chairman Reince Priebus also condemned Trump's 2005 comments in a statement on Friday night, saying in a statement: 'No woman should ever be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. Ever.'

'I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married', Trump says in the recording published on Friday.

'And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture".

'I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,' he continues.

'Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything. She’s totally changed her look.'

At times another man's voice - presumably Bush's - can be heard on the recording.

Bush then worked for Access Hollywood and now works on the Today show. The pair were on the set of the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Trump was about to record a segment on the show and Bush was there to interview him about it.

The pair were captured chatting, presumably unaware their mics were recording the exchange.

DONALD TRUMP'S FAILED ATTEMPT TO SEDUCE NANCY O'DELL Entertainment Tonight co-host Nancy O'Dell has been revealed as the married woman Donald Trump spoke about trying to sleep with Access Hollywood claims Donald Trump was talking about Nancy O'Dell - a long-time entertainment journalist and current Entertainment Tonight co-host. 'There were seven other people on the bus with Mr. Trump and Billy Bush at the time,' Access Hollywood host Natalie Morales said. 'Upon arriving at our NBC lot our camera crew was let off the bus, so they could record Mr Trump getting off.' 'What you are about to hear is what Mr Trump said about former Access Hollywood anchor Nancy O'Dell to Billy Bush,' Morales said in reference to Trump's controversial comments. In the audio that emerged on Friday, Trump also discussed the host's appearance after detailing his unsuccessful effort to sleep with her. 'Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything. She’s totally changed her look,' he said in the 2005 recording. O'Dell has been married twice, the first time to Richard O'Dell from 1995 to November 2004. She was married for a second time to Keith Zubchevich in June 2005. It is unclear when Trump tried to seduce the television host. Advertisement

The Republican nominee is later heard bragging about how his celebrity status allows him to do 'anything' to women.

'You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,' he boasts.

'And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything.'

The Presidential candidate, who has consistently come under fire for derogatory comments about women during his campaign, did not deny the exchange had taken place and put it down to 'locker room banter'.

'This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close,' he said in a statement. 'I apologize if anyone was offended.'

Shortly after the recording emerged, Hillary Clinton tweeted: 'This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president.'

Bush swiftly deleted his Twitter account on Friday in the wake of the revelation, however his Facebook page that remained online was flooded with negative comments.

'Oh my Billy Bush you really surprise me with that conversation with "the Donald" I've lost a lot of respect for you!' Becky Bouldin wrote.

'Billy Bush! Just heard the Trump video in which you participated. Really???? You owe us something in the way of explanation... I'm so embarrassed by this and other happenings during this campaign,' Nancy Fuleihan said.

'I'M ALL BILLY AND NOTHING ABOUT THE BUSH': AFTER YEARS OUT OF THE POLITICAL SPOTLIGHT, JUST WHO IS BILLY BUSH AND HOW DID HE END UP AT THE CENTER OF TRUMP'S POTENTIALLY ELECTION-ENDING CONTROVERSY? Billy Bush was thrust into the election campaign on Friday after a recording of him speaking to Donald Trump on the set of Days of Our Lives in 2005 emerged. Bush, the 44-year-old host of NBC's Today, was caught out laughing along as Trump bragged about trying to sleep with a married woman and making other shocking comments about women. He was born in New York City, before going on to attend the exclusive Colby College in Maine. He then joined the media ranks, starting out with local affiliates and radio stations before landing a gig with Access Hollywood in December 2001. After a little less than three years, he was promoted to co-anchor in June 2004. From there, his career in entertainment took off, with Bush being chosen to host pre-show broadcasts for the Academy Awards in 2004, 2005 and 2006. He also scored a sought-after gig covering the Olympics in 2004 for NBC, a role he revived for the Winter Games in 2006, as well as the Beijing Games in 2008 and Rio in 2016. Prior to Friday's scandal, he has steered clear of the political world - unlike other members of his famous family. In fact, Bush seemed to deliberately steer clear of the game that has been dominated by his dynastic family, describing himself in 2008 as 'so apolitical'. 'I'm all about the Billy and nothing about the Bush,' he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. 'I have respect for my uncle and my cousin, who have achieved great heights, but it's not for me. 'People don't even know how I vote.' He has interviewed Trump repeatedly throughout the years, and has been pictured with the reality television star. He also hosted the Miss Universe pageant four times - in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2009 - during the time Trump co-ran the competition. Bush married his wife Sydney Davis in 1999, and they have three children together. Advertisement

'Hey Billy Bush... you proud of yourself?' Ronald Wright asked.

Despite the backlash, it appears Bush will keep his job on the Today Show.

Page Six reports that although NBC executives are 'appalled' by the comments, the host won't be sacked because they were made more than a decade ago.

'It happened 11 years ago … Billy was in a different place. He was a lot younger and more immature. He’s definitely embarrassed by this, but his job at "Today" is safe,' a network insider reportedly said.

The 44-year-old is the nephew of former president George H.W. Bush, and first cousins with George W. and Jeb Bush.

Both George H.W. and George W. have refused to endorse Trump, while Jeb has said he will not vote for the Republican nominee.

It has been reported that H.W. plays to vote for Clinton next month, according to Politico.

Meghan McCain, the daughter of former Republican candidate John McCain, also commented on the recording, saying: 'This godforsaken election. This vile excuse for a nominee. I cannot find the humor in any of this.'

Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared on CNN on Friday and defended the Republican nominee, saying: 'We're electing a leader. We're not electing a Sunday school teacher.'
