DISGUSTING merchandise mocking Madeleine McCann's parents has sparked outrage ahead of Mother's Day.

The cruel and taunting "gifts", targeted towards Gerry and Kate, include clothing and mugs.

Disturbing phrases making fun of Madeleine's disappearance have even been printed on maternity outfits, shirts and jumpers.

They are being sold on a website called CafePress and marketed as Mother's Day gifts for March 19.

Shockingly, the company had already found itself in hot water a few years ago after producing similar products - but they don't appear to have learnt their lesson.

This comes as a girl from Poland has gone viral on social media after claiming she may be Madeleine.

She has made her claims on TikTok, under an account called @iammadeleinemccann.

Julia Wandelt alleged to have been a victim of sexual abuse when she was young and says that a German paedophile, who was a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case, was her abuser.

The 21-year-old points out she has moles in similar positions to Madeleine and also showed that she had a marking in her eye, similar to Madeleine's coloboma, which means her pupil is a different shape.

Julia is so sure she may be the missing girl, she requested a DNA test.

A source close to the McCanns told The Mirror: “The family are taking no chances, they are willing to look at all leads. It is important they look at all of the factors. The girl does look similar. There’s no disputing that.

“If what she says is true, there is every chance it could be her. It all adds up.”

However, despite willingness on Kate and Gerry's part, Julia's parents have tried to end their daughter's mission and refused the test.

Madeleine's parents have never given up hope of finding their daughter.

But sources earlier told The Sun that Julia’s claims may be hurting the family.

They 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."

The disappearance of Madeleine in 2007 remains one of the biggest unsolved cases in British history.

The youngster was only three when she vanished from her family's holiday home in Portugal.

Her parents had left her sleeping with her siblings while they had dinner at the hotel's restaurant - before realising at about 10pm that she was missing.

The couple have since devoted their lives to finding the little girl - now left with Madeleine's "Cuddle Cat" as one of the last reminders of their daughter.

More than £12million has been poured into the investigation for her since 2007.
