Far more prominent than First Lady Melania, she has an office in the West Wing and her husband is a senior advisor to Donald Trump, but just how much power does Ivanka Trump have over the US government?

Channel 4’s new show, Ivanka Trump: America’s Real First Lady, lifts the lid on Ivanka’s political power and ambitions.

Here’s everything you need to know:

What’s it about?

The show is an in-depth examination of Ivanka’s role in the White House. Presenter Matt Frei attempts to discover how the President’s eldest daughter reconciles her apparent liberalism with her father’s populist right-wing policies and just how much sway she has over decision-making in the Oval Office.

Frei takes a look back over Ivanka's previous careers as a model, reality TV star and businesswoman and investigates whether she has ambitions to one day follow in her father’s footsteps and become President herself.

Who is presenting it?

Channel 4 Europe editor and news anchor Matt Frei presents the programme, travelling to the US to find out more about Ivanka’s real motivations.

When is it on?

The documentary airs on Channel 4, tonight at 9pm.
