The parents of a 10-year-old girl who contracted salmonella during a nightmare holiday in Egypt are taking legal action.

Michelle Muzquiz and James Monks’ daughter Jasmin, who was nine at the time, fell ill on returning home after contracting food poisoning.

Her parents also fell ill with gastric illness days into their week-long honeymoon holiday at the Coral Sea Waterworld, in October 2013.

Now the couple from Westhoughton have instructed solicitors Irwin Mitchell to investigate and work to gain compensation from tour operator TUI UK for their ordeal.

The firm of solicitors is already representing 12 other people affected by similar problems at the same resort following holidays in 2012.
