Alison Hammond left This Morning viewers appalled after admitting that she hasn't had car insurance for a month - before gasping 'I shouldn't have said that on live TV!' on Thursday. 

The 50-year-old made the confession on the latest episode of the ITV programme when she was discussing the latest headlines with co-host Dermot O'Leary, Sonia Sodha, 44, and Nick Ferrari, 66. 

One topic that they discussed was how the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves has broken the law by renting out her family home without a license since entering Downing Street.

This led on to Alison to confess: 'Do you know what I keep missing? You never get a reminder for MOTs. Do you? You don't get a reminder... 

'I always miss my MOT and then all of a sudden I haven't been insured for like a month.'

She added: 'I mean I shouldn't really say that on national TV, but...'

The camera crew started to laugh and co-host Dermot looked back at them with a smirk on his face. 

'Which theoretically would have happened, had you missed it...,' Dermot said.

Alison said: 'Obviously I did pick it up in the end!'

She added: 'Do you know what the problem is? I don't have a team who do all my stuff. I do everything myself. 

'Sometimes these things do slip your mind, and if you don't know about something, if you're a landlord, you might not know about particular...' 

Viewers rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their frustration over her admission.  

'Yes you can get an MOT reminder.'

'No Alison you shouldn't have said that on tv.'

'You can pay for an mot reminder #thismorning.'

'If you're a responsible car owner yes you do, Alison.'

'#ThisMorning I used to get a reminder for my MOT from the garage I used to have test done at. Usually two months before it’s due date.'

The GOV website states: 'An MOT is required by the third anniversary of registration, or the anniversary of the last MOT if over 3 years old.' 

You can be fined up to £1,000 for not having a valid MOT. 

The Daily Mail contacted Alison's rep for comment.  

It comes after Tom Daley appeared on the show and revealed what pushed Celebrity Traitors bosses to break their own rules on the set.

The retired diver, 31, who was 'murdered' on the hit BBC show two weeks ago, discussed his experience while starring on This Morning on Wednesday.

Tom admitted that while he was hoping to be 'resurrected' he did find filming the show difficult at times.

Joining hosts Alison and Dermot on the sofa, he said: 'I was gutted.

'You think you're going to go for breakfast and it's like, no! You're doing interviews all the time and being pulled around.

'I was hoping for a resurrection twist where I came back from the dead.' 

Discussing the filming, he continued: 'It's really intense. You're disconnected from everything. No phone, you're just in the game.

'You don't get to see everyone's reaction and faces it's only when you watch it back at home you spot the clues.'

However, Tom did explain that some rules were broken on occasion: 'They made some exceptions for people with kids but usually, no,' he explained.

Revealing that he would have rather been a Traitor, Tom added: 'In an ideal world I wanted to be a Traitor with Charlotte and Celia.

'When [my son] saw that I didn't come to breakfast he was really upset! He's seven. We play the board game every week, he's a formidable traitor, disturbingly good at it!'

This Morning airs weekdays on ITV1 from 10am and is available to stream on ITVX.
