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.'
Many flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their shock over what Alison had revealed
'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.
Capitals Shake Up Special Teams as Carbery Demands Improvement: 'It’s About Building Momentum, Not Losing It' trucc
ARLINGTON, V.A. — There's no sugar coating it for the Washington Capitals, and Spencer Carbery didn't mince words: special teams has not been a highlight to start the season.
Through the first 10 games of the season, the Capitals are just 6-for-32 on the power play (18.8 percent). They struggle to enter the zone and get set up, and maintaining possession has also been a problem.
It's gotten to the point where coach Spencer Carbery continues to make changes, and acknowledged that the man advantage opportunities have actually come to work against D.C. so far.
"The power has not been nearly good enough... you just need some momentum on those power plays, and it kills momentum," Carbery said bluntly.
Those struggles are also bleeding over onto the penalty kill. Washington's PK has ranked atop the league over the last few seasons, but right now, it ranks sixth-worst in the league at 67.9 percent and has given up nine goals through 10 games.
"I feel like it's been a little bit unlucky, but when you look at some of the underlying numbers, we've kind of got what we deserved in how many Grade-A opportunities that were given up," Carbery said.
That being the case, the Capitals worked on special teams quite a bit on Thursday, trying out some new looks up front.
Aliaksei Protas was promoted to the top unit, and operated there with John Carlson, Alex Ovechkin, Connor McMichael and Dylan Strome, who upgraded to contact for power-play work as he recovers from a lower-body injury. On the second unit, Hendrix Lapierre joined the mix of Jakob Chychrun, Ryan Leonard, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Tom Wilson, who swapped places with Protas.
The tweaks give the Capitals the chance to evenly deploy two separate units and generate some new looks with different personnel.
"We're just looking at some deployment stuff and how we can potentially utilize two units, potentially use 10 or nine guys equally and potentially use a second unit. We're looking at a bunch of different options," Carbery explained. "You're not asking to score every time you go on the power play, but you want to spend some time in the o-zone. You want to threaten the goaltender with a couple of shots in traffic, some puck recovery, some won face-offs, all of those things."
On the kill, the same players are being relied upon to step up, with Nic Dowd and Brandon Duhaime leading the charge. However, Carbery stressed urgency and a turnaround when it comes to the kill's performance — and quick.
"We've got to tighten up there. We've talked about it, looked at some different things, talked to some personnel, had a few meetings," Carbery said. "We'll continue to dial that in and make sure that we're continuing to progress on the kill and also the power play."
