Tom Cruise’s pregnant fiance’e is spending up to eight hours a day at a cult’s Hollywood “church”.

Katie Holmes is growing distant from family and friends as she “worships” the Scientology religion Cruise recruited her to.

The Batman Begins beauty has been visiting the cult’s centre up to three times a day — being told she is surrounded by the “traumatised spirits of aliens”.

Katie, 27, who will give birth in the spring, was brought up a strict Catholic, but swiftly converted to Scientology after falling for Cruise, 43.

A friend said last night: “Her family are becoming very worried. They don’t know what she is being taught.

She is becoming more distant and seems to worship Scientology as much as she worships Tom.”

War Of The Worlds star Cruise is joining her for cult sessions. Katie is also being taught to remain quiet during childbirth to prevent her baby becoming stressed — and she is expected to refuse painkilling drugs.

Cruise became a cult convert in 1987 and has since used his Hollywood muscle and £150million fortune to spread the word.
