She said: 'We were at 33,000 feet and he told me he wanted to be the next President of the United States and I laughed. He said, "Land the plane. I want her out of here", so we landed in Arkansas.'

Little did she know, Donald would go on to make good on his bold ambition and become President years after their awkward interview. 

Described by Ruby as 'one of the most excruciating moments of my career' in the original footage, the interview never made it into her series, which ran from 1996 to 1998.

Ruby's appearance on The Project came on the back of the release of her book A Mindfulness Guide For The Frazzled. 

The mental health campaigner, who has battled episodes of depression throughout her life, spoke about the major theme of the book: stress. 

Having studied cognitive therapy at Oxford University in aid of the book, Ruby was in the perfect position to answer when host Waleed Aly quizzed her on why we're all 'frazzled'.

She said: 'Because our brains don't have the bandwidth, we are overwhelmed with what is going to get us next, North Korea or too much salt? One choice out of 5,000 from toothpaste. In my day, no-one died of stress. We had it but we didn't die of it.' 

Ruby also revealed her studies helped her arrive at an interesting conclusion after stating her motivation for penning the bestseller. 

She said: 'I was interested in how we can navigate the noise. It is phenomenal. We are geniuses on one hand, we made bubble wrap, but emotionally we are morons.'
