Gerry McCann has taken to the stand shortly after his wife, Kate, to give evidence during a stalking trial.

The father of missing toddler, Madeleine McCann, was called up to testify at Leicester Crown Court today (October 8) as two women stand on trial accused of stalking the McCann family.

Julia Wandelt, 24, and Karen Spragg, 61, are both accused of stalking the mother and father of Madeleine, with the former facing allegations that she "pursued" the mum and dad of the missing Madeleine through a number of devices, including email, phone calls and even visits to their home in Rothley, Leicestershire.

Spragg is alleged to have made calls, sent letters and attended the home address of Mr and Mrs McCann, between June 2022 and February 2025.
