The woman who claimed she was missing British girl Madeleine McCann has apologised to Kate and Gerry and explained why the post that made her story famous across the world was due to an error.
Julia Wendell, 21 from Poland, sent the internet into a frenzy after creating an Instagram account called "@IamMadeleineMcCann" where she questioned whether she could be Madeleine - who went missing from her parent's holiday apartment in 2007 when she was just three years old.
On her page she was asking for help in obtaining a DNA test which would prove one way or another whether she was the missing child.
