The UK shoot has been halted and the entire 60-strong crew is in isolation here following mass testing.

It is the latest in a string of delays for the movie, due out next May.

Sources say the four women dancers were “within a couple of metres” of American Cruise, 58, as they shot a nightclub scene for Mission: Impossible 7 this week.

Ten crew members have also since tested positive and it is understood the actor has had to isolate since Tuesday.

A source said: “Tom is absolutely fuming about what’s happened, especially given his rant to his staff last year.

A source added: 'It’s going to badly affect filming and they’ll be playing catch-up when they finally come back'

“It’s going to badly affect filming and they’ll be playing catch-up when they finally come back.

“Fourteen crew members have got Covid — most of them are close aides of Tom’s. The whole shooting crew, about 60 people, have all had to self-isolate for 14 days.”

Filming has been taking place at Longcross Studios in Chertsey, Surrey, over the past few months.
