Mrs Gundry's post, shown, went viral, gaining more than 30,000 likes, 10,000 comments and 10,000 shares
But
now authorities in the Seychelles, where the couple are said to have
married on July 28, 2014 have been asked to check that this ceremony was
legal.
Ceremonies
on the islands are recognised in Britain, but couples who have been
married before are obliged to present their divorce certificates before
being allowed to tie the knot. Couples are also required to stay in the
Seychelles for three days before the ceremony.
A
spokesman for the Seychelles Department of Immigration and Civil Status
told MailOnline he would be looking into whether he could find a record
of the wedding.
Mrs Gundry, pictured, said she 'loved
the wedding and surprised guests', but didn't love the sight of her
husband who was 'supposed to be working in Dubai arriving on the arm of
another woman'
Mr
Grundy had appeared on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway over the
weekend, appearing as a guest at the wedding of Sam Blackburn and
Michelle Brooker, which aired as part of the entertainment show.
However,
Helen Grundy had then posted a message to the programme's Facebook page
which read: 'I loved the wedding and the surprised 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.'
She was not at her home in Warrington on Sunday, or today, but a man at the house told the Daily Star: 'We don’t want to talk about it. It’s complicated.'
An
ITV spokesman said: 'I have spoken to Daniel and he has actually been
married to his current wife for two years and separated from Helen for
six.'
Guests
at the wedding had been told they were on the way to Ms Brooker's 30th
birthday party, only to find themselves walking onto a live television
show whereshe and her partner were actually getting married.

Mr Gundry, wearing a grey waistcoat and glasses, was spotted dancing with a blonde woman in a black dress.
He
was referred to by the bride Michelle as her 'brother', while the woman
in black was named as Sue and referred to as the bride's sister, with
one of them related by marriage.
Mrs Gundry's post went viral, gaining more than 30,000 likes, 10,000 comments and 10,000 shares.
But
Facebook users hit back and claimed Mrs Gundry was not telling the
truth and that Mr Gundry was married to Sue and split with Mrs Gundry
'years ago'.
An
ITV spokesman later told The Sun: 'I have spoken to Daniel and he has
actually been married to his current wife for two years and separated
from Helen for six.'
Mrs
Gundry was adamant the pair are still married however and said they had
been for 17 years, referring to any other marriage he may have as
'bigamous'.
MailOnline has contacted both Mr and Mrs Gundry for comment.
