But luckily for her, it appears that her bosses were understanding and are letting her keep her job.
The 26-year-old model said in an interview on Friday that she lost her train of thought while she was exposing the answers to the show's game, Five Price Tags.

The game involves correctly choosing a vehicle's value amid five over-sized tags. She revealed a second tag even though the participant hadn't yet asked her to.
"It was a brain fart," said Arbelaez. "I just zoned out. I literally did not see that coming. My body took over and reacted before my brain had a chance to stop it."
The mistake brought Arbelaez to tears, but host Drew Carey got into a giggle fit.
"Congratulations, Manuela just gave you a car," he said on the show.
"We took a commercial break and I was still very overwhelmed. I was in tears. I thought, 'Well, this is it.' I asked the producers, 'Am I going to be fired?' They started laughing and told me of course I wouldn't be fired," she said.
Even though the model was at first embarrassed and afraid of losing her job, she is reportedly now happy that it happened.
"It's been overwhelming in a good day. I knew I was going to get a couple of tweets and videos with my name tagged on it, but this has gone viral. It's amazing how people reacted. It's been very positive. Everyone has been so nice and supportive," she said.
The video revealed the goof has received more than 7 million views.
