Hi all, this is a bit strange.
Based in Northern Ireland.
It's July 1st 2015 and the weather's been very wet up until the past week where its been getting progressively sunny / warm.
Ive attached a video and described the problem in the video.
The vine is producing tomatoes nicely then at the very end tip of the vine there is a new plant /sucker growing
The variety is Gardeners delight and I'm growing in greenhouse. 3 plants (same variety) in one grow bag.
I had curled leaves for about a week, but these have now straightened out a fair bit since the weather's warmed up.
Any help /pointers much appreciated

Oh shoot! I was going to take pictures of one of my tomatoes that is growing regular vines out of top of fruit trusses. It's a "not true to type" Ligria.
A couple of years ago, some of my Matt's Wild Cherry was doing it too. Those actually produced fruit trusses on those when I left them to grow.
I think the "sucker" growing above the fruits would divert nutrients and water from the fruit truss and should be clipped off unless you are curious to see what happens -- typically with any plants, growths that are located higher has "dominance" and get priority.
