Mel C mocked by eagled-eyed fans after they spot string of Virgin Media complaints

Mel C has been mocked by eagle-eyed fans after she asked broadband provider Virgin Media for help after complaining of having "major internet issues".

But it seems the Spice Girl's fans have noticed that the 46-year-old has been complaining about this very issue for the last EIGHT years.

The 46-year-old has asked Virgin Media to fix her WiFi over social media several times, and it seems she's not having much luck. 

The singer, whose real name is Melanie Jayne Chisholm, first got in touch with a member of staff on Twitter in 2012, and asked: "Dear @Virginmedia will I ever have broadband again? #annoysville."

Another tweet came the night before she appeared live on BBC's The One Show in April this year when she complained of having "major internet issues".

She begged: "If anyone @Virginmedia could help me i'd really appreciate it. Having major internet issues & I'm due to be like on @BBCTheOneShow tomorrow!!! Thank you."

Mel messaged the company a third time on November 13 after she claimed she was unable to get through on the phone.

She said: "@Virginmedia I am having constant WiFi problems and can't get through to anyone who can help!"

Fans who have cottoned on to her string of complaints couldn't help but find her glitchy internet struggle entertaining.

One wrote: "You’d think after eight years of broadband problems that Mel C would just leave Virgin Media x"

Another said: "If Mel C is having trouble with Virgin Media, what chance do us mere non-Spice Girls have?!"

"I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want, is WiFi that doesn't stop working," added a third.

Mirror Online have contacted Virgin Media for a comment.
