Phillip Schofield has revealed that Tom Cruise "caused absolute chaos" at the Queen 's Platinum Jubilee Celebration on Sunday 15 May. The actor, whose daughter lives an "ordinary" life in Brixton and is married to a British man, was slammed by viewers for "using" the occasion to plug his latest film, a sequel to classic '80s movie Top Gun. And now it turns out the 59 year old star decided to ignore protocol and walk through the historic town of Windsor, rather than being driven, which resulted in him being mobbed by fans.

ITV were today accused of allowing Tom Cruise to hijack and 'cheapen' the opening event of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee so he could promote Top Gun 2 in return for reading for less than a minute from an Autocue.

But there were no stunts from him, as he then enjoyed a much longer interview with Phillip Schofield and Julie Etchingham at the celebratory evening, where he describe his new film as being made 'for the fans' after the hosts also raved about his new film.
