Murphy 'wants Tom Cruise on Dance'

Mary Murphy has revealed that she would like to see Tom Cruise make an appearance on So You Think You Can Dance.

The Top Gun star's wife Katie Holmes starred on the 100th episode of the dancing competition show earlier this year, performing a Judy Garland-inspired song and dance number.

Murphy referenced Cruise's iconic moves in his underpants from 1983 movie Risky Business as the reason she wants him to feature on the Fox series, E! reports.

She said: "He goes way back to Risky Business doing his thing. He was on the hot tamale train back then! That hot tamale can come by any time."

Murphy recently challenged Paula Abdul to a "dance fight", should the former American Idol judge join the panel on Dance.
