Try adjusting the clutch first, mine did this and when I took it to Vaux they said it was badly adjusted before. Charged me about £26 or you could just DIY, I just didnt have the time...
Although Vaux did say that if the prob happens again then a new clutch would need to be fitted.
Hope that helps!

This may seem a stupid question, but are your brake and clutch pedals at about the same level, or is your clutch pedal lower than your brake pedal?
If its lower, then try adjusting the clutch.

mine also needs frequent adjusting as well 
but charging 26£ to get it adjusted, well thats a piss take.
it took me longer to open the bonnet from the catch than adjust the clutch cable.
how do these vauxhall guys sleep at night!
