Donald Trump has promised "to be a better man" after video emerged showing him making lewd, sexually explicit comments about women.
Following the release of the 2005 recording, the Republican presidential hopeful initially said he was sorry "if anyone was offended" over what he called "locker room banter".
However, in the face of a fierce backlash, Mr Trump issued a more forthright video apology in which he said: "I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them.
"Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologise.
"I pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down."
However, he also sought to dismiss the revelations as "nothing more than a distraction" from other issues facing the country and renewed his attack on his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton ahead of the second presidential debate on Sunday.
The candidate has been savaged by senior Republican figures over the footage obtained by the Washington Post.
