Printer friendly version
The parents of Madeleine McCann have agreed to take part in a television documentary marking the first anniversary of the disappearance of their daughter.
Gerry and Kate McCann have signed a deal with ITV to produce the one-hour documentary which will focus on the disappearance of Madeleine as well as other missing children.
Cameras have followed the couple since January and will show footage of the McCanns travelling around the world in the search for their daughter.
The four-year-old went missing from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in Portugal on May 3rd 2007.
Since that time a worldwide search has taken place and Mr and Mrs McCann have been named as 'arguido' suspects in the investigation.
ITV's controller of current affairs and documentaries, Jeff Anderson, has said that the channel will donate £10,000 to the Find Madeleine Fund and that the parents will receive no money for their appearance in the programme.
Executive producer for Mentorn Media, Steve Anderson, said: "Amid all of the controversy, what should be remembered is that a little girl is still missing and her family is trying its best to find her.
"We have been with Kate and Gerry McCann as they have pushed for a better system across Europe to help stop child abduction. They are determined to do whatever they can to make sure that what happened to Madeleine doesn't happen to another child.
"They also speak frankly and honestly about Madeleine's disappearance which is undoubtedly one of the biggest stories of the past 12 months."
