‘I can’t go away, my fake tan is too good’

NOT losing enough weight before a trip and fear of becoming “too Spanish” are among the reasons for people choosing to postpone holidays, according to a survey.

One family cancelled a Turkish break as their three children had been “misbehaving tremendously and did not deserve to go”, the survey by travel agency sunshine.co.uk found.

One woman abandoned her holiday plans as she had achieved a “really good fake tan” and no longer needed to go away to sunbathe.

Another wanted to postpone her trip for three months as she had not lost enough weight to look good in a bikini.

Another female holidaymaker said she wanted to move her trip as she would miss a Big Brother series on TV if she went.

One man due to head to Spain wished to cancel as he had dreamed that he became “too Spanish” after visiting the country.
