A BRITISH woman claims she saw Madeleine McCann with a man who looked “like a gypsy”.  

Yvonne Tunnicliffe said she was certain the girl was the missing youngster as she was the spitting image of Maddie’s dad Gerry.  

Yvonne, 63, saw the girl at a ­supermarket in Alhaurin el Grande in Spain and contacted police a week later. 

But when they took the ex-sales assistant to examine CCTV tapes from the shop, the manager said footage was ­routinely deleted after seven days. 

The sighting was in 2009, but Yvonne has come forward again to expat news site The Olive Press after she read ­other

claims Maddie could have been snatched by a gypsy gang. 

Yvonne said: “My whole body shook when I saw her. She looked just like her daddy.

“The girl’s demeanour ­bothered me. I don’t think she belonged to the man ­

because she didn’t look anything like him.”  

Madeleine vanished just before her fourth birthday in 2007 while on holiday with her parents in Portugal’s Praia da Luz, 220 miles west of Alhaurin el Grande.   

A spokesman for the McCanns said: “Any verifiable information will go to police and private investigators and they will act where appropriate.”
