'Holiday rests on an egg mayo sandwich': Mum and dad of nine-year-old with allergy may lose €21K holiday over sandwich

The mum and dad of a nine-year-old who has a life-threatening allergy have claimed they might be forced to give up on a dream £19,000 (€21,580) holiday to sunny Florida, all due to the fact that Virgin refuse to remove egg mayo sandwiches off the menu.

Parents Carly-Jane and Craig Fisher, both aged 43, splashed out a whopping £19,000 for a family trip to the world-famous Walt Disney World Florida in April this year for Dolly, twin Betty and brother Freddie, 12.

However, daughter Dolly was diagnosed with an egg allergy at the age of three. Her allergy is so severe that she has to carry an epi-pen and could go into anaphylactic shock if in the same room as one.
