A man who was caught with his second wife after his first wife saw them on a television show together has been sentenced to six months in prison for bigamy.

Daniel Gundry, 36, appeared with his wife, Susan Brooker, as guests on a British surprise wedding television show in 2016.

However, his other wife, Helen Gundry, happened to be watching the show from home, reports 7 News.

When she recognised her husband she took to the show's Facebook page to share her reaction.

"I loved the wedding and the surprise guests - I didn't love the sight of my husband who's supposed to be working in Dubai arriving on the arm of another woman, a woman he's supposed to have split from last year."

Daniel and Helen married in 1998 and after separating for some time, he asked her to give their marriage a second chance.

Unbeknownst to Helen, he had married Susan in the meantime.

Daniel has been sentenced to six months in prison and ordered to pay his wives £115 (NZ$217) for causing them "embarrassment, shame and humiliation".

"He has been lying for a long time so I'm just glad that finally he's been found out," Helen told local media.

Helen and Susan have since become friends.
