A humiliated bride was reduced to tears after finding her "wedding cake" had been made out of polystyrene foam.

Shine Tamayo, 26, and partner Jhon Chen, 40, had forked out more than 140,000 pesos (£2,100) for food and decorations for their ceremony last month.

But after they left the church in Pasig City, the Philippines, they found the caterer had failed to deliver.

The newlyweds had to carry trays of greasy takeaway grub from a nearby eatery to feed their hungry guests.

And when Shine went to cut her cake, she sliced through the icing to find it had been stuffed with polystyrene.

Now, footage taken moments afterwards shows the exhausted bride break down in tears in front of her family and friends.

She was so distraught that guests took her to a police station where officers inspected the two-tier wedding cake - confirming the base was made entirely from foam wrapped in red icing.

It's said the caterer, seen in the clip, was taken to the station under arrest.

Speaking today, Shine said: "The woman we paid to do the food has ruined my wedding.

"I have never been so humiliated in all my life. This was supposed to be one of my most treasured memories for my entire life. Instead it is the worst."

Police examined the wedding cake, pictures of the food, as well as the payments that Shine and her husband Jhon had made to the wedding coordinator.

Officers from the Pasig City Police Station confirmed the employee had been arrested on suspicion of Estafa - a form of fraud - and released.

A spokesman said: "The investigation into the wedding fraud is ongoing.

"The bride was very distressed by her cake and the food.

"We have confirmed that a large amount of money was paid for the service which was not delivered adequately.

"The provider has been interviewed and we intend to take the case to a trial."
