KATE and Gerry McCann have been approached to appear on both The Oprah Winfrey Show and for an interview with American network ABC, but their spokesman denies a bidding war is taking place.

It has been reported that the McCanns were at the centre of a £1 million ($2.2 million) bidding war between Winfrey and ABC star Barbara Walters, who both want an exclusive interview with the couple.

The McCanns' three-year-old daughter Madeleine vanished more than seven months ago during a holiday in Portugal.

While their spokesman, Clarence Mitchell, said the McCanns had been approached by both chat shows, he insisted no money had been discussed.

He also ruled out any interview of that kind while Madeleine's parents remained arguidos - suspects.

"There is categorically no truth to the suggestion that any sort of bidding war is taking place between American networks or American programs," Mr Mitchell said.
