Netflix have released a controversial new documentary surrounding the disappearance of Madeleine McCann in Portugal, 2007.
Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann hit out at documentary makers prior to it's highly anticipated release.
Their spokesperson revealed: "The production company told us that they were making the documentary and asked us to participate. But they want nothing to do with it.
"We did not see and still do not see how this programme will help the search for Madeleine and, particularly given there is an active police investigation, could potentially hinder it.
"Consequently, our views and preferences are not reflected in the programme. We will not be making any further statements or giving interviews regarding this programme."

What happened to Madeleine McCann?
Madeleine McCann went missing during a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2007.
During the family's holiday in the Algarve, Madeleine - who was just three-years-old at the time - vanished from her room as she slept alongside her twin younger siblings, while her parents dined out with friends at a near-by restaurant.
Not much is known about the events that followed - or if Madeleine is still alive.
It is a story that has captured the imagination of the world, with everyone having an opinion about what actually happened. The Portuguese police and the McCanns themselves have frequently been the subject of criticism, with some saying the former were incompetent and the latter were negligent.
And the investigation is still on going – with detectives recently pleading for more public funding from the Home Office, so the case can be investigated up until 2020. And in December, Metropolitan Police commissioner Cressida Dick supported the long-running probe into the case, with an additional £150,000 having been granted last November.
A new suspect has now been revealed in the case, and the McCann family are saying it's "potentially very significant" breakthrough.
A German man who is currently in prison is being investigated as he was known to be in the area where Madeleine disappeared in 2007.
The man has previous convictions for sexual abuse against children and had a house in Portugal.
