Porn star Stormy Daniels has told of her greatest ever regret - walking into Donald Trump ’s hotel suite that eventually led to her £102,000 hush money deal.

Although proud to have provided evidence that led to the former president's conviction - becoming the first US leader ever found guilty of a crime - the adult actress, 45, wishes she had never met him for dinner. The pair were introduced at a celebrity golf tournament, where Stormy alleges they would later have sex.

"If I could go back in time to July 2006, I would not have accepted Trump's invitation to dinner in Lake Tahoe. I definitely regret putting myself in that situation, but I am not the one who should be ashamed. I'm not the one who was married, had ulterior motives or was dishonest.”

She continues: “I get asked a lot, like if you could go back and do it again or do this again, and I say how far back because if I went all the way back, I would not have gone to his room. I get asked like was it worth it to to speak out and to stand up to the being bullied and to clear your name or whatever and most of the time, I say ‘yes’.

"But going to his room, I will regret forevermore." After their 2006 meeting, they had several more non-sexual encounters.

During the 77-year-old's trial, she told jurors they saw each other again in January 2007, when he invited her to the launch of his Trump vodka brand. While she was there, she said, he introduced her to his friend "Karen," who she later learned was Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model who said she was having a monthslong affair with Trump during that period.

Stormy said he also invited her to Trump Tower around that time and assured her, "I'm still working on the ‘Apprentice’ thing." She said they last saw each other in the summer of 2007, when he invited her to see him at a bungalow he was staying at in Los Angeles.

She said that he "kept trying to make sexual advances" but that she shot him down. "I told him I was on my period," she said.

He said he later called her and told her he hadn't been able to get her on his Apprentice show. She never heard from him again. She adds: “I haven't spoken to Trump since mid-2007 and have no desire to do so."

Stormy was subsequently approached with an offer of $130,000 to sign an NDA gagging her from talking about her sex with Trump. She accepted the money in a deal brokered by top lawyer Michael Cohen from Trump’s legal department.

But a court last week found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business documents in order to hide the hush money during his 2016 election campaign.

Reflecting on the trial where she was a key witness, Stormy said: "It was so intimidating being in front of the jurors and lawyers looking at you, but I'm glad the stuff I wanted came out in court. I wanted to come out and prove I've been telling the truth the entire time.”

Stormy told how she now feels vindicated - and warns the world ahead of Trump’s fresh bid for office: “He is completely and utterly out of touch with reality.”

She added: “I think he should be sentenced to jail and some community service working for the less fortunate, or being the volunteer punching bag at a women's shelter.”

And she has some advice for the former president's wife, Melania. "I don't know what their agreement may or may not be, but Melania needs to leave him. Not because of what he did with me or other women but because he is a convicted felon," she says.
