The panicked host told presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, who were back in the studio: "Oh my Gosh, we haven't got a permit, we aren't allowed to film here.
"I'm going to get arrested... I love you loads!"
She then turned back to the police to do damage control, overheard apologising to them repeatedly.
Back in the studio, Phil and Holly were left gobsmacked.

After pausing to show a 'Prize Draw' clip, the studio hosts then went back to see if Alison, 44, was out of trouble - only to find her still filming despite her reprimand.
"Look at my hand, I'm actually shaking. They hate me," she said, before the angry police woman reappeared to warn her again.
Phil and Holly then urged their colleague to "Run, quickly" - she took their advice, and was seen running away.
Fans were left in stitches by the faux pas.
