Polish authorities have provided an update regarding a woman who claims she is Madeleine McCann.
In recent weeks, Julia Faustyna has appeared all over Instagram and TikTok claiming that she is the missing Brit and has evidence to support her theory.
Julie has drawn the attention of hundreds of thousands of users and claims that she does not remember her childhood, has similar bodily features to Madeleine and has requested a DNA test.

After sources close to Madeleine's parents Gerry and Kate suggested that a DNA test may be a possibility, new claims have poured cold water over the debacle as it now looks unlikely that Julia will get the chance to put her theory to bed once and for all.
As the Irish Mirror reports, Psychic Dr Fia Johansson, who has been representing Julia in the media, has insisted that she is "not doing this for publicity," after speaking with 7NEWS in Australia.
Johansson went on to say that they will now go to court seeking a DNA test order and Julia wants her own mum and dad to do a DNA test with her. Her father has reportedly refused.
Julia has previously written several posts on social media to back up her claims. One of those read: "I don't remember most of my childhood, but my earliest memory is very strong, and it's about holidays in a hot place where there was a beach and white or very light [coloured] buildings with [apartments]."
Polish authorities have cast doubt over Julia's theory. Pawel Noga from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Wroclaw, does not support her story, telling Gazeta that the authorities have "ruled out" all possibility of Faustyna's story having any level of validity.
The Polish woman's social media uploads have generated a mixed response from the public, with some people sending her online abuse. Subsequently, an upset Faustyna deleted two of her accounts.
She posted the following statement on Instagram: "If you don't like me, please unfollow. I don't want fans or followers. I closed my Facebook account and TikTok so people can't make fun of me, OK?
Madeleine vanished during a family holiday to Portugal's Algarve in 2007, sparking a huge search operation for years to come. The police reportedly have pinned the abduction on notorious German paedophile Christian Brueckner, 47, but have never obtained sufficient evidence to make the arrest.
