    I have always wondered what happens if someone entered for simply the cash element and are unable to take the holiday due to having no passport. Is part of the prize given (The cheque) and the rest forfit, or is the whole thing unclaimable?

    I enter for the cash element, I guess if I win I will let you know.
    Wishing you all good luck!

    Me too I am afraid. Hopefully they will let you transfer the holiday into someone elses name - I know the precise person :D
    Thanks to all OP's your efforts are much appreciated :A

    I just can't think of a worse evening than having to go to a Britney Spears concert and then meet her afterwards, if in Paris there must be a million things I would rather experience than that. As others have said, I just wondered if it would be possible to win and opt out of the 'Britney' experience. It doesn't really make it clear in the rules if you have to do that bit.:(

    I'm sure ITV have been asked this sort of question before and their response was that it was all or nothing. But hopefully someone else can confirm that?

    Maybe you could accept the whole prize, and then be 'ill' for the bit you dont want? The holiday/concert are on set dates, and no one can forcast how you will be feeling at that time.
