    Sorry to bump, but does anyone know if taking the cruise is a condition of getting the cash prize?

    I am asking because we wouldn't be able to go on a holiday for 2 people (we have kids), but wouldn't mind winning the money!

    Im not sure, it doesnt say anything in the T&Cs, ive entered even tho im a 1 adult, 2 children household, thought i would deal with the problem if i was lucky enough to win.

    I very much doubt that it would be a condition - for example you might have to drop out of the holiday at the last minute because of illness for genuine reasons. I very much doubt it would be tied to the cheque as there is no mention of it in the T & C's. (We also have a child so it would be a non-starter for me too)

    If it's a major issue then best to email ITV and get official clarification. You could probably use some of the £10,000 to take any extra kids/other people with you if necessary. Seems a bit of a waste to enter if you don't want the cruise, or are not available to take it up. There are plenty of other comps that are solely for cash.
