British Steve Miller is among 2% of the population who suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity

A club DJ, Steve Miller, has claimed he has been forced into exile by a powerful allergy to Wi-Fi internet waves which leaves him feeling dizzy, sick and disoriented.

Miller, better known by his stage name Afterlife, says he is unable to use trains, stay in hotels or visit his local street because of his sensitivity to the "electrosmog" cause by wireless Internet waves.

He is among around two per cent of the population who claim they suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, while the number of people pumping out the Wi-Fi signal is rising.

Miller said, "I feel like an exile on my own planet. It's almost impossible to find somewhere without Wi-Fi nowadays. "I can't just go to the shops because huge parts of the high street affect me.

"If I go somewhere, I can instantly sense the Wi-Fi."

Miller, who had a residency at an Ibiza club before his allergy, said he has missed out on a large number of overseas gigs because all airports and most hotels have Wi-Fi.
