Tipping Point contestant 'banned' from enjoying luxury holiday they won on ITV show


Tipping Point player Maxine Longmuir was left devastated after she was told she couldn't rebook her luxury holiday to Portugal after she was diagnosed with a heart condition

The quiz show champ was gutted to learn that she couldn't reschedule her much-anticipated holiday after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, which meant she needed surgery and was unable to fly for several weeks post-operation. The holiday was supposed to be a blissful retreat at the Domes Lake Algarve resort in Portugal, where Maxine and her husband Graham Hewson, 67, were looking forward to celebrating their week-long break starting April 19. Journeying through six painstaking screening calls and a marathon hour-long Zoom session with other potential contestants, Maxine finally managed to land a spot on the beloved show, filming an episode in April last year over in Bristol.
