US sketch show Saturday Night Live is taking its material further afield then Donald Trump.

The programme is well-known for mocking President Trump - but now they have moved on to his daughter, Ivanka.

The businesswoman has come in for criticism after she and her husband, Jared Kushner, were included in a meeting between then President-elect Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

She has been called a calming influence against her father, while her husband holds a senior adviser role to President Trump.

But on Saturday, actress Scarlett Johansson stepped into Ivanka Trump's high-heeled shoes.

The sketch - for a fictional perfume called 'Complicit' - shows 'Ivanka' looking in a mirror, showing 'Donald Trump' (played by Alec Baldwin) on the other side with a voiceover adding: "She doesn't crave the spotlight but we see her - oh, how we see her".

It makes reference to criticism of Ivanka's support for women's rights - saying: "A feminist. An advocate. A champion for women. But like...how?".

The advert says: "She's loyal, devoted, but probably should've bounced after the whole Access Hollywood bus thing" - in reference to her father's infamous 'grab them by the p***y' remark in 2005.

It ends with the remarks: "The fragrance for the woman who could stop all this, but won't."
