On Facebook, approximately 46 percent of users said they were experiencing a 'total blackout' on the website and the app. 

Another 34 percent of Facebook users said they couldn't log in, while 18 percent said they couldn't access the Facebook app. 

It's unclear how many users have been affected by the outages on Instagram and Facbeook. 

However, a Down Detector chart showed there were 923 Instagram user reports submitted to the site by noon (ET).

Approximately 1,511 user reports had been submitted about Facebook by 11:45am (ET).   

'I am unable to log-in, reset my password and I can't use the Desktop app either,' one user wrote on Down Detector about the Instagram outage.  

Users appeared to be having similar issues on both the Facebook app and website.

'I can't log in at all, I can't even recover my account, and when I try to make another account it says that an error occurred and try again, it keeps happening,' a user wrote on Down Detector. 'What is going on!?'

Another user wrote on Down Detector: 'I just updated my Facebook app and I can not log into it. I had to reenter my password. Odd!' 

Disgruntled Facebook and Instagram users took to Twitter in droves to complain about the outage.

One user on Twitter posted a screenshot of an error message they received after trying to login to Facebook. 

The message read: 'An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
