Trickster Andy was filmed picking up the cake to thank its maker - but gasps of horror were then heard as guests watched the tiers go tumbling onto the floor.

Newlyweds Dina, 23, and Johnny Smart, 24, looked on in total shock following the unfortunate slip - before it was revealed the the whole thing was just an elaborate prank.

Andy, 47, a caterer from Dawlish, Devon, said: "I'd been planning it for six months and I didn't even tell my wife.

''On the way to the church I was having second thoughts - it could go one way or the other. My wife had told me not to do anything to wind Dina up.

''To start with, Dina was really shocked - but that soon turned to relief!

 The panic was soon over when Andy revealed the real cake was at the back of the room

''I didn't want to make it last too long. I didn't want her to cry and have mascara running down her face.

"I made sure it only lasted a few seconds before I pointed out the real cake at the back."
