Dermot O’Leary made quite the entrance on This Morning today, arriving in the world’s smallest car, and it was certainly a hilarious sight to behold.

Driving into the studio, Dermot was demonstrating the world’s smallest car – a blue Peel P50 with a tiny motor and a five-litre petrol tank.

It was so tiny in fact that later in the segment Dermot was dragged off the set while still sitting in the car by the owner, Alex Orchin, in a moment Dermot witheringly described as ’emasculating’.

The car, which only reaches speeds of 23mph but can actually go quite the distance of 100miles (from London to Birmingham as co-presenter Alison Hammond pointed out), costs less than a tenner to fill up with petrol.

But one thing it can’t manage is reversing, and it appears the easiest way to drive back is to just drag the P50 from behind.

To demonstrate, Dermot got back into the car saying: ‘Just in case it couldn’t be even more emasculating!’

Car owner Alex then picked up the back of the tiny car, seemingly with ease, and dragged it backward, with the former X Factor host still in place in the driving seat.

‘There’s absolutely no reverse?’ Alison questioned, before Dermot confirmed: ‘No, so this has to happen.’

Alex added: ‘If I need to move Dermot, I just pick him up and take him off.’

Alison was left in hysterics as Dermot waved while he was carried off, with some viewers comparing the scene to children’s toy cars.

The P50, which has featured on an episode of Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkson was driving it, was first made on the Isle of Man in the 1960s, and in 2010 was named the smallest production car ever built in the Guinness World Records book.

This Morning airs on ITV from 10am.
