She told the : "I, as I say, never, never, never say never."

Her comments further fuelled speculation that she may make a late entry to the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.

Should she decide to run, it would be her third - and likely final - chance to make it to the White House.

Speaking alongside daughter Chelsea to the BBC's , Hillary added: "I will certainly tell you, I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it."

SPECULATION MOUNTS

But casting further doubt, she said: "As of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you, that is absolutely not in my plans."

The former New York senator was defeated in the 2008 Democratic nomination race by Barrack Obama - who would go on to be President.

Mrs Clinton - First Lady to former President Bill - managed to secure the Democratic nomination in 2016.

But she went on to suffer a shock defeat to Republican Donald Trump - whose electoral success had been given dismal odds.

PACKED FIELD

The Democratic field is already packed with candidates amid speculation that billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is preparing to run.

Bloomberg filed paperwork last week to qualify for the primary in Alabama and has spent the past few weeks talking with prominent Democrats.

He is said to be concerned about the rise of left-wing candidates including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

While former Vice President Joe Biden - a moderate Democrat - marginally tops the polls, no clear front-runner has yet emerged, leaving it all still to play for.

Former Attorney General Eric Holder has also reportedly been considering entering the primary.

LAST-MINUTE ENTRIES

reported last Friday that Holder had spoken with strategists about a potential run.

And on Monday, sources close to former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick said that he's also mulling a White House run.

Rumours about Mrs Clinton potentially entering the 2020 race have circulated since her defeat in 2016.

Mark Penn, an adviser and pollster to Bill and Hillary Clinton from 1995 to 2008, predicted last year that she'd return as a "liberal firebrand".

But others have downplayed the prospect of her running again.

Donna Soucy, a four-term Democratic state senator in New Hampshire who backed Clinton in 2008 and 2016, told : "I don’t think she’s running again.

"I know the rumours floating out there that that’s a possibility. I don’t believe for a second that it is."
