A British marketing boss is facing years in jail in the Philippines after his wife allegedly caught him in bed with his mistress. 

Mateo Bradford, 27, was arrested after his wife Esiel suspected his infidelity and followed him to a rented flat where she spotted him entering with another woman. 

Esiel quickly called the police, and officers from the country's Women and Children Protection unit raided the apartment, where they found the couple in bed. 

Adultery is illegal in the Philippines, punishable by up to four years in prison.

The marketing boss was charged and made his first court appearance in Cebu, central Philippines, Private proxies buy on Saturday. His 24-year-old mistress was also arrested.

He did not enter into a plea, and he will make another appearance next month.  

Esiel told the Sun that she had no regrets over calling the police on her husband.
