A polish woman who truly believes she is Madeleine McCann has made an appearance on American TV show Dr Phil, where she shared what her future plans are once she receives the results of her DNA test.
The 21 year-old sat down with Dr Phil on Monday 27. During the high profile interview Julia Wendell claimed that she is certain she is the missing British toddler who vanished while on a family holiday in Portugal, in 2007.
Julia, explained she has always been suspicious of her birth story and family. She said her mum would change the subject when she brought up her concerns and has withheld key documentation such as her birth certificate, reports The Mirror.

The 21-year-old is currently waiting for DNA results which will determine if she really is Madeleine.
During questioning Julia was asked why she hadn't approached Scotland Yard for DNA testing, as they would be able to compare her samples to that of missing Madeleine McCann. However, she claims she did approach the organisations but never received a response, and is now awaiting results of an ancestry test.
Dr Phil then questioned what she would do if she discovered that the Polish couple who raised her are in fact her biological parents, to which she simply replied: "I believe I am Madeleine McCann.
"If she is my mother, I don’t want to have contact with her that’s all, but I believe she isn’t my mother."
Julia added she is willing to undergo any and all necessary tests to support her claims.
As part of her 'evidence', she explained that the first six pages of her health book, issued to every Polish child, were completely blank. She then later revealed that she can't remember much of her childhood, after sharing that she doesn't want to stay in contact with her polish parents.
Sharing the only memory she has from her early years, she said: "Beach and water, like sea or ocean, and there were turtles and children … and I remembered light-coloured buildings, like white or very light colours, sunlight on this buildings."
It's claimed this memory is close description of Praia De Luz, the area where Madeleine disappeared from almost 16 years ago.
Julia's parents previously stated that they have been left devastated by her claims and said that she needs treatment for mental health issues.
Speaking out back in February, they said: "For us as a family it is obvious that Julia is our daughter, granddaughters, sister, niece, cousin and step niece.
"Threats to our address from Julia, her lies and manipulations, activity on the internet. The interest won’t forget, and it’s obvious that Julia isn’t Maddie. We are devastated at this current situation."
Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine's parents, are yet to make any official statement on Julia's claims.
