Co-host Dan Walker joked about the wardrobe change on Twitter, with Quek putting on a blue top to avoid problems with the studio's green screen.
Walker, 44, wrote on : "Emergency change for Sam Quek.
"The white blouse was causing havoc with the virtual background.
She is now fully Team GB."
Quek, a former Team GB hockey star, provided her expertise on the sport on Friday.
In the early hours Team GB Women's team beat India 4-3 to win bronze, securing their third consecutive Olympic medal after winning gold at Rio 2016 and bronze at London 2012.
Quek was part of the gold medal-winning side in Rio and she has since proved herself in front of the TV cameras, appearing on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2016.
It has also been confirmed she will become a captain on A Question of Sport.
