A former candidate on The Apprentice TV programme has accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct during a live press conference.

Summer Zervos, a contestant on season five of the series was sitting alongside her attorney Gloria Allred during the event in Los Angeles.

The new accuser alleges the Republican presidential nominee sexually accosted her when they met at the Beverly Hills Hotel to discuss employment opportunities.

Sitting next to Allred, Zervos said that after being “fired” from “The Apprentice” by Trump she continued to see him as a potential employer.

She alleges Trump kissed her on the lips, which she claims upset her, referring to her as her “OC Angel.”

It comes after sexual assault allegations emerged this week against the millionaire presidential candidate.

Two women were quoted in a report by the New York Times earlier this week who claimed that Trump had groped them inappropriately a number of years ago.

A story alleging Trump had sexually assaulted a female reporter working for People Magazine in 2005 was also published.

Trump has strongly denied the allegations describing them as “outright lies," while his campaign team says they have evidence to disprove the allegations.

“The campaign is working on bringing that information out,” said Trump’s running mate Mike Pence.
