At just four feet and eleven inches in height, Porter has spoke openly in the past about her struggles while driving.
She told The Times in 2018: “Everybody thinks they’re a good driver, but we can’t all be above average.
“I have no sense of spatial awareness, am terrible at parking and irritating to be stuck behind because I can’t gauge my car’s width.
“So, if I’m going down a country lane, I’ll drive into a hedge if anything is coming the other way.
“I’m the one at whom everyone shouts, ‘Come on, love, you could get a bus through there!’”
Richard Osman’s House of Games airs on weeknights at 6pm on BBC Two.
