Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has paid out its customers who backed Hillary Clinton to win next month's presidential election.

With less than three weeks to go until polling day, the firm declared that Donald Trump's White House bid had imploded and had very little chance of moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January.

The bookmaker claimed customers had been lumping on the former First Lady in the past week as Donald Trump's campaign became embroiled in a succession of scandals over his conduct.

Speaking after making his decision, Paddy Power from Paddy Power said: 'Trump gave it a hell of a shot going from a rank outsider to the Republican candidate but the recent flood of revelations have halted his momentum and his chances now look as patchy as his tan.

'Recent betting trends have shown one way traffic for Hillary and punters seemed to have called it 100 per cent correct.

'Despite Trump’s Make America Great Again message appealing to many disillusioned voters, it looks as though America are going to put a woman in the White House.'

Back in 2012, the bookmaker called President Obama's re-election two days before the vote and paid out $700,000.

Back then, Donald Trump was a 100/1 shot to win the 2016 poll, but his odds were slashed to as short as 13/8 in May.

Now his odds have edged out to 9/2.
