The family of a TikTok user who claims that she might be Madeleine McCann have refused to take a DNA test, it has been claimed.
Julia Wendell, who says she has the same tell-tale eye defect as Madeleine, has turned to social media for support having been unable to get a response from police in Poland or the UK.
She has begged for a DNA test which would definitively prove whether she is or isn't the little British girl who disappeared from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.

But, according to The Sun, Julia's Polish family have "flatly refused" to cooperate by granting a DNA test after apparently shunning her.
Dr. Fia Johansson, a psychologist, medium and private detective who is currently working with Julia told the publication that she wants to be "respectful" to the McCann family and deal with the issue quickly.
"My feeling is that we need to force the mother or a member of Julia's family to take the DNA test rather than disrupt the peace of Kate and Gerry, which is not necessary," she said.
"If a current family member will take a DNA test we could solve this. But they are refusing to."
Dr Johansson said she has been in direct contact with Julia's mother and she claims has Julia's birth certificate, "but our worry is that you can easily forge this."

But sources earlier told The Sun that Julia’s claims may be hurting the McCanns. The source said: “It causes unnecessary pain for Kate and Gerry.
“So many false claims have been made over the years and they don’t need any more."
Julia claims to have been a victim of sexual abuse when she was young and says that a German paedophile – who was a key suspect in the Madeleine McCann case – was her abuser.
She also claims to have the same eye defect as Madeleine, as well as looking similar to parents Gerry and Kate.
