Scarlett revealed the unlikely holiday – and friendship – on Elizabeth Day’s How to fail podcast, after being asked if she ever got starstruck.
She said: ‘I think the time when I really got freaked out was when Tom Hardy came up to me and said “Scarlett, can I have a photo?”
‘And I went “What?!? Do you want me to take a photo of you?” And he said “No, me and Charlotte watched you in the Jungle and we loved you in Gogglebox!”
‘And I was like “What? You watch telly?” I was just so shocked that Tom Hardy watches the TV!

Chance meeting: The former I’m A Celebrity winner revealed that the A-list actor invited the Gogglebox star to play chess at his home after they met on Alan Carr’s chat show in 2016
‘And then later his agent came in and said: “Tom would like your number and him and Charlotte would like you to come over and play chess or play board games one time.”
‘I said “Yeah, it’s with Tom and Charlotte… chess, tiddlywinks, whatever!” So I passed my number on and he texted me saying “this is Tom’s number”.’
The GoggleBox star then admitted she made a huge gaff, telling Elizabeth: ‘I then took a photo of my outfit because me mam asked me to send one.
‘I accidentally sent it to Tom while he was in the next room and I literally started crying, I was so mortified. I thought I’d ruined my chances of becoming friends with him.’

No way! ‘Weirdly we then went to Disneyland in Paris. So him and Charlotte and two little ones and me and my dad, my little sister and my cousin’ said Scarlett
Luckily, Tom showed his truly down-to-earth colours, with Scarlett explaining: ‘He then sent a photo back doing the exact same pose as me in the mirror saying “Whoops, was meant to send that to my mum too”. He saved my embarrassment.
‘I’ve learnt now that you can really admire someone and the work they do, but everyone’s just a person.’
Scarlett then revealed: ‘Weirdly we then went to Disneyland in Paris. So him and Charlotte and two little ones and me and my dad, my little sister and my cousin.
‘And they did Jedi training together and stuff. It was crazy but fun.’
In addition to the two children he shares with wife Charlotte, Tom also has an 11-year-old son Louis with ex Rachael Speed.
