Charlotte Church begs Instagram to verify her account after she gets rejected nine times

Charlotte Church has launched an appeal for Instagram to verify her once and for all.

The Welsh singer, 35, posted a sarcastic video of herself pleading with the social media site to make her account officially verified after her quest to gain the famous blue tick was rejected nine times.

The Crazy Chick hitmaker embodied Austin Powers’ Dr Evil in the whacky clip, which saw her sitting with her beloved pet pooch on her lap as she spoke softly with a convincing tone.

Charlotte, who boasts a 22,000-strong following, poked fun at her failed attempts of retrieving the all-important blue tick as she insisted that she really was ‘the real Charlotte Church’ and deserved the recognition for her work in the music industry.

While stroking her fluffy white dog, Charlotte begged: “ Instagram, why won't you verify me?

“I've tried nine times now and you just keep telling me that I don't meet the criteria.”

Charlotte went on: “I wonder if there are any other Instagrammers out there who've had a similar problem that can help me figure it out. I would dearly, dearly love a blue tick.”

“I really am Charlotte Church,” she insisted.

Captioning the hilarious Instagram video, Charlotte asked her followers to help her on her quest of nabbing the sought-after blue tick for her account.

“Hello darlings. Please help me get verified on Instagram,” she penned.

“I’m having trouble getting verified and wanted to prove I was really me! If anyone has any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it.”

Luckily for Charlotte, who first found fame as a classical singer as a child, she has since been awarded with a blue tick and her account is now officially verified.

Her milestone social media moment comes after the singer finally revealed the name of her baby daughter – 11 months after she was born.

Last month, Charlotte decided it was time to finally share her daughter’s name as she revealed that she called her little one Frida Simone.

The Welsh star broke the news during an appearance on This Morning where she spoke about seeking the advice of a sleep specialist as her baby was waking her up at night.

Frida is Charlotte’s first child with her husband Jonathan Powell.

She is also a proud mum to daughter Ruby, 13, and son Dexter, 12, who she shares with her ex, rugby ace Gavin Henson.
