Seems that Team McCann might now be regretting having courted the press quite so much...

The father of Madeleine McCann yesterday appealed to the media to end its obsession with his daughter's disappearance.

Gerry McCann said that, despite the family's concerted effort to publicise the hunt for the four-year-old, the continuing scrutiny had been far greater than he could ever have imagined.

Mr McCann, 39, said that, because of the need for the media campaign to continue in "a pretty low-key format", he and his wife Kate were now considering returning home to Rothley, Leics.

"I personally do not think it is necessary to bombard people with Madeleine's image on a daily basis," Mr McCann said.
