Donald Trump bombarded Diana, Princess of Wales with flowers after her divorce, a broadcaster has claimed.

Selina Scott said the billionaire businessman saw the Princess as "the ultimate trophy wife", but that he gave Diana "the creeps".

Republican presidential candidate Trump, who recently caused outrage by suggesting an interviewer was tough on him during a political debate because she had her period, showered the princess with roses and orchids.

Miss Scott, writing in The Sunday Times, revealed: "It had begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her. I know this because she told me."

The broadcaster, who has a long running feud with Mr Trump, urged the princess to throw the bouquets in the bin.

A spokesman for Mr Trump said: "They had a great relationship, liked each other a lot, but nothing ever came of it."
