Despite previously publishing DNA test results which concluded she is 100 per cent Polish and therefore cannot be missing Madeleine, this week shared “new” DNA results alleging she is related to Mr McCann.
Julia Wandelt, 23, was held at Bristol Airport on suspicion of stalking Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann, her representative confirmed.
MailOnline, which first reported Wandelt’s arrest, said she became an internet sensation in February 2023 after claiming to be the missing youngster on Instagram, with the Instagram handle @IAmMadeleineMcCann.
Wandelt previously told the BBC how she was sexually abused as a young child and appeared on US talk show Dr Phil to discuss the far-fetched possibility she is Madeleine.
Earlier this week, Wandelt shared an audio clip on her Instagram account in which she claims to have tried to speak with Mr McCann on the phone.
