The man who appeared alongside Donald Trump, in a now infamous video discussing women, has been fired by a US TV network.

Billy Bush is heard laughing in the background of the tape, which the U.S. Presidential nominee described as showing "locker-room banter."

He only started at NBC's "Today" programme 2 months ago.

Melania Trump says she believes her husband was "egged on" by Bush to make the degrading comments about women.
