MADELEINE McCann’s parents said yesterday they have found a new base while they continue campaigning for the missing four-year-old.

Kate and Gerry McCann are to rent another apartment in Praia da Luz, where their daughter was snatched 54 days ago, and said they would stay until ready to return to Britain – with Madeleine.

Gerry, 39, said: “We have managed to look at a few properties to rent in the last couple of days and I think we have found somewhere suitable to live until we return back to the UK with Madeleine.”

The couple and their two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie have been staying in an apartment just metres from the flat where Madeleine was snatched on May 3.

But the apartment is needed for the busy holiday season.

The doctors, of Rothley, Leics, have said they hope to stay until Madeleine has been found.
