Madeleine McCann updates: Julia Wendell's mother said to be distressed over daughter's claims

The mother of Polish woman Julia Faustyna who believed she was Madeleine McCann is reportedly mortified by the entire ordeal.

Julia, 21, gained a huge Instagram following after creating the "I am Madeleine McCann" account - and even obtained the seal of approval about getting a DNA test from Maddie's own parents Kate and Gerry.

Julia, who also goes by the last name Wendell, believed she was the missing child, who would now be 19 years old. After taking a DNA test, it was proved that she isn't Madeleine and is "absolutely 100 per cent from Poland".
