He grabbed the arm of the snapper as he lost his footing on the steps outside private members club Oswald’s.
Tom’s arrival caused much excitement outside the exclusive venue and as fans and photographers scrambled to get his attention, the man fell down.

The group is known for releasing hits such as Wannabe (1996) – which helped skyrocket their career in the industry – as well as 2 Become 1 (1996) and Viva Forever (1997).

Amid the success, a Spice Girls feature film titled, Spice World, was released in theaters and became a box office success.
However, in 2000, the group went on a hiatus while members focused on their own solo careers.
The performers reunited from 2007 to 2008 for the Return Of The Spice Girls Tour, and once again for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
In 2019, the group came together once again to embark on a Spice World Tour – but Beckham did not join.
Last month in March, Mel B stated that the Spice Girls would reunite for the 30th anniversary amid rumors during an appearance on Loose Women.
‘We are definitely doing something…I’m probably going to get told off but I’ve said it, there we go! We are doing something this year. I’m in trouble now…,’ she stated at the time.
However in February, Melanie C told The Sun of Mel B: ‘I adore her and she has this thing, and it can sometimes get us into hot water. Of course we’re always talking, we’d love to do something else.’

‘I’d love to get back on stage with the girls but everybody wants to do something a little bit different or in a different way, so it’s just trying to get everyone on the same page at the same time.’
She added, ‘But Melanie likes to manifest things and she thinks if she says it enough, it will happen. I can’t confirm that there is anything happening soon but we’re always talking about opportunities.’
Earlier this month, Victoria gave an update on the Spice Girls reuniting for the 30th anniversary while talking to Radio France.
‘We do have a group chat, I do speak to all the girls. It would be lovely for us to do something to celebrate – a dinner or a lunch – and reminisce, but yes it will not be any more than that.’
