"Donald Trump was the first American man I'd ever met ... it was quite a shock," Ms Seal told CNN on Thursday.

"We had to wear swimsuits to restaurants. He wanted us to be sexy all the time.

"For an older man of influence who was running the show for his first year to kind of come up to you and say 'stick your tummy in, stick your gut in' ... I think it's very condescending."

Damaging allegations

The thrice-married billionaire, who has admitted to sleeping with other married women, threatened after Monday's debate to call out Bill Clinton's sexual affairs and censured Mrs Clinton for being an "enabler" in smearing the women who outed her husband.

Mr Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, has been hit with a series of damaging misogyny allegations.

Political analysts said the antics could backfire against Mr Trump and turn off female voters who he is struggling to attract.


A recent Bloomberg poll of likely voters found Mrs Clinton has a 13-point advantage with women against Mr Trump, by a margin of 52 per cent to 39 per cent.

Mr Trump has insulted the appearance ("look at that face? Would anyone vote for that?") of Republican candidate Carly Fiorina, called Fox News presenter Megyn Kelly a "bimbo" and suggested if the eye-catching Ivanka was not his daughter "perhaps I'd be dating her".

Ms Seal said "not in a million years" did she think Mr Trump would one day run for president.

It's not the first time an Australian has figured in Mr Trump's presidential campaign.

The real estate mogul praised golfer Adam Scott in a campaign speech in Florida after the Australian's nail-biting one-shot victory at the Trump National Golf Club in Miami in March.
