Fans take selfies with 'Tom Cruise' as he eats cocktail sausages in London park - only for it to be his movie stand-in
Stunned shoppers stopped for selfies when they spotted 'Tom Cruise' eating cocktail sausages in a London park ahead of tonight's Mission Impossible premiere - but it was his movie stand-in.
Visitors to Victoria Embankment Gardens, Central London, couldn't resist snapping photos when they thought they'd spotted the Hollywood star yesterday morning [May 15]. The star was also 'seen' popping into a nearby Tesco on Strand Road to grab protein-packed Quorn Veggie Cocktail Sausages to power him through tonight's premiere of Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
One onlooker was overheard saying: "I can't believe it, I'm such a big fan! I only popped out for some lunch and never expected to see Tom Cruise chilling in the park eating cocktail sausages!" The hunky star was actually Seán George, actor and Tom Cruise lookalike, who has worked with the heartthrob on three movies as a 'stand in'.
Fans were quick to jump on social media, with one sharing a sneaky snap saying 'Ethan Hunt just casually chilling in the park %23missionimpossible'. However it's since been revealed that 'Tom' was actually part of a PR stunt from leading meat-free brand, Quorn, to celebrate the return of their Mission Snack Swap campaign.
Quorn's 'Mission Snack Swap' is back on TV screens from 24 May, which sees a cheeky trio of puppets take on their own mission. Perry Pig, Clarence Cow and Chickson Chicken are on a 'mission' to sneakily swap out meat-based snacks for tasty, protein packed Quorn Cocktail Sausages and Quorn Picinic Eggs.

Savvy shoppers spot amazing Tesco Clubcard trick to get Cineworld tickets for £1 each
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SAVVY shoppers have spotted an amazing Tesco Clubcard trick to bag cinema tickets for a bargain price. For just £1, you'll be able to grab a ticket to the latest blockbusters movies at Cineworld. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 You could bag bargain tickets to the latest blockbusters Credit: Getty 3 One savvy shopper spotted how to get tickets for just £1 Credit: ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK The spot was made on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook. One user posted: "Cineworld £4 club card tickets work with Meerkat Movies! "Me and my daughter get to watch the new Stitch film for just £1 tomorrow." This is because of a new Tesco Clubcard deal giving shoppers the chance to bag cheap cinema tickets. For just £4 — or £2 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers — movie fans can treat themselves thanks to a new partnership between Tesco and Cineworld. The user then used £2 worth of Clubcard points as they double up for reward partners. And what's more, this savvy shopper used the Clubcard deal alongside the Meerkat Movies 2-for-1 deal from Compare the Market meaning they only had to pay £1. Another user left a comment under the find, saying: "I also watched stitch with my daughter for £1! "I converted £3.50 in Clubcard points which gave me £7 to spend on Cineworld. "Then purchased two of the £4 Clubcard tickets and paid the extra £1!" The Clubcard deal allows movie fans to buy up to four discounted tickets, making it cheap to enjoy the movies with family and friends. But film fans should be quick as the Clubcard deal ends on Sunday June 8. The discounts don't stop there either — Cineworld is also offering Clubcard holders a special £6 deal for a medium drink and popcorn, with the option to upgrade to a large for just £1 more. Tesco shoppers keen to grab the bargain cinema tickets must exchange a minimum of 50p in Clubcard vouchers through the app or website. Once completed members should head to the Cineworld site and buy tickets "not covered by their Clubcard Vouchers". To snap up the special drink and popcorn deal, movie-goers will need to show their Clubcard at the food counter. 3 Take a look below to see how you can get more from your Clubcard Credit: Alamy How to get more from your Clubcard The immensely popular Clubcard loyalty scheme is a simple way to slash the price of groceries. For every £1 spent customers earn a point. Each pound is worth a penny, so if you collect 150 points you earn a £1.50 voucher. It doesn't sound like much but it adds up over time. But the real value comes when you use your vouchers with Tesco's Reward Partners, where the value can often double, meaning your £1.50 could be worth £3 depending on where you use it. You can rack up extra points by shopping with Tesco's partnered brands too. TOP TESCO BUYS Vauxhall, Evri, and OVO Energy are just a few examples. Customers who purchase a new Vauxhall car can earn a whopping 50,000 Clubcard points, while shoppers spending with Evri can earn one point for every £1 spent. The full list of partners is available on Tesco's website, so it's worth having a look to see where you can get more bang for your buck. Once you convert your Clubcard vouchers into codes for use with a Reward Partner, those codes are valid for six months, so make sure to use them in time. Signing up for Clubcard is easy; you can register through the Tesco app, available on the Apple App Store or Google Play, or by heading to and ordering one directly. For regular Tesco shoppers, upgrading to Clubcard Plus might be worth considering. It costs £7.99 a month but gives you 10% off two in-store shops of your choice each month. If your shop is £40 or more, the discount pays for itself — and you'll even save a bit more. You're not locked in either; the subscription can be paused or cancelled at any time if you're away or not planning to spend as much. Another simple way to build your points faster is by opting into Tesco's marketing emails. While your inbox might get busier, these emails often include exclusive offers and bonus point deals tailored to your shopping habits and they can be a quick win when it comes to boosting your balance. As mentioned above, it's important to keep an eye on voucher expiry dates as the vouchers expire two years after being issued. But there's a handy trick that not everyone knows, if a voucher is about to expire, just spend a small amount of it and the remaining balance will be reissued with a fresh two-year expiry. So if you've got a £10 voucher and use just 50p, the other £9.50 gets renewed. Finally, if you fancy earning a few extra points from the comfort of your home, you can sign up for Shopper Thoughts, a survey site that rewards you with Clubcard points for sharing your opinions. It's a quick and easy way to bag 150 points just by filling in a few questions. With a few simple tricks and a bit of attention, Tesco Clubcard can be a handy tool to save cash or unlock bigger rewards, just don't forget to use your vouchers before they expire.

Insider tip from a Tesco employee A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys. According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random. The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit. If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check. This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft. So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley.
