Steph McGovern: 'Creepy' Donald Trump called me beautiful

BBC Breakfast presenter Steph McGovern has said that Donald Trump was "creepy" and told her she was "so beautiful", when she puts him in 2012.

The business reporter said she was interviewing Mr Trump when he made the comments.

But she brushed them off by saying "better lines" in Middlesbrough's Bongo Club.

McGovern, 36, remembered the exchange while appearing as a guest host on BBC One's Have Got Got For You.

She said: "I'm going to make me look better, because if we do this interview now everyone is just going to be staring at you and not listening to me."

He added, "It's because he thought it would be the best way to disarm me.

"He thought as a female journalist, he thought it was the best thing to say to me rather than: 'Oh, I'm watching you on mobile phone insurance last week.'

McGovern said: "Aye love, I'm heard better than that down Club Bongo."

In the interview McGovern grilled Mr Trump about his status as a business tycoon, his previous bid for the US presidency in 2012, and whether his wealth made him happy.
