Phillip Schofield says Tom Cruise caused ‘absolute chaos’ for going ‘against protocol’ at Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
PHILLIP Schofield has revealed Hollywood actor Tom Cruise caused “absolute chaos” at The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration.
The This Morning host, 60, said Tom went against official protocol by deciding to walk himself to the studio at Windsor Castle.
As a result, Phillip said the 59-year-old Mission Impossible star sparked a “serious” response from the police.
Reflecting on his night co-hosting the televised event, Phillip told Holly Willoughby on This Morning: “[Tom] caused absolute chaos in Windsor because he decided to walk to the studio.
“The police obviously then had to do serious crowd control at the drop of a hat, but he met everybody.
“We went into his Winnebago and he had a pair of Aviators just sitting there – because obviously I’m looking at everything.”

Despite the actor’s security blunder, Phillip described Tom as a “class act” and “the most delightful man”.
“When he did our interview he then went downstairs and met everybody and went into rooms to meet people – proper eye contact. He is a class act,” he added.
News of Tom’s security faux pas comes after viewers slammed him for plugging his new movie Top Gun: Maverick while being interviewed at the Queen’s event.
Meanwhile, Phillip, who co-hosted The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebration with Julie Etchingham, managed to grab the A-lister for a selfie backstage.
