LONDON, April 30 (UPI) -- Kate and Gerry McCann's appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is to air in England, a day after its U.S. broadcast, NBC Universal Global Networks said.

Diva TV, which transmits "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in the United Kingdom, said Thursday it will broadcast the British couple's first U.S. interview next Tuesday night.

Viewers will see a digitally created photo that shows how Madeleine McCann might look today at age 6. The little girl disappeared in 2007 while on vacation with her family at a resort in Portugal.

The McCanns are expected to talk to Winfrey about the 2-year hunt for their missing daughter, while the show's cameras go inside their home, spending the day with them and their 4-year-old twins, Sean and Amelie.

"The more people able to see Madeleine's image as she would look now the better," Jon Farrar, programming director for NBC Universal Global Networks, which owns Diva TV, said in a statement.

"By appearing on 'Oprah' the family can reach millions of people in America and, given the show is broadcast in 143 countries including here in the U.K., target new audiences around the world. We hope it will lead to new and useful information."
