Theresa May has joined Saturday Night Live and John Oliver in making fun of U.S. President Donald Trump's hands, the Telegraph reported Tuesday.

It said the British prime minister was at a private fundraiser where, responding to the applause she received from the audience, she said: "Thank you very much for that wonderful reception. I don’t think I have received such a big hand since I walked down the colonnade at the White House."

May was alluding to a photograph of her and Trump holding hands as they walked down the portico outside the Oval Office last month.

May was the first national leader to meet Trump since his inauguration in an effort to strengthen transatlantic ties post Brexit.

For months, the size of Trump's hands has been a running joke among his critics. His former rival Marco Rubio took a dig at Trump during a presidential primary debate last year, suggesting that his small hands correspond to other parts of his body.

"There's no problem, believe me," Trump had responded.
