    A travel company has said the use of an image of Madeleine McCann to promote its holidays in Portugal is "vile".

    The advert on the website VoucherDigg.co.uk featured a photo of Madeleine released to the media by her parents soon after she disappeared.

    It was used to illustrate deals offered by lowcostholidays.com.

    But the travel firm said it had no advertising contract with VoucherDigg and had been trying to get the image removed.

    <laugh> Fair play to them, don't think it'll make many families buy holidays with them though...

    What a disgrace

    The McCanns should be the only ones allowed to make money from their daughter

    It could've been worse. They might have used Tina and ER's holiday snaps:

    It's only the 6th-7th post and we've gone from moral indignation about use of Maddy's image to what was on telly last night.
