The Sun was able to confirm that some users are experiencing a strange flurry of unrelated posts from unfollowed celebrity accounts and pages.

Meta – which owns Facebook – isn’t reporting any issues on its main status page.

But users are flocking to Twitter to moan about the outage.

One wrote: “Is FB melting down for everyone tonight?”

Another said: “Had to come to Twitter today cause Facebook down and I’m just seeing random posts.”

And one added: “What’s happening with Facebook? The feed is hilarious? Did you see it?”

In a Facebook feed seen by The Sun, posts sent to celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ed Sheeran and Bear Grylls were appearing.

“I didn’t realise how many…weirdos there are who have nothing better to do that they have to surrender to posting random s*** to celeb pages on Facebook,” said one user.

“This glitch is something else.”

Another said: “Major glitch on Facebook…loads of celebrity posts!!!

“Messed up my timeline. What the hell is happening?”

Many users on Twitter have reported similar issues.
