When you say Virgin, you mean you are using an email address provided by them?
If you were using an outlook, Hotmail or Gmail address, then the answer is - once they are no longer in the deleted or trash folder, they really are gone.
With Virgin the answer is almost certainly the same though.
If it were your work based email then IT would probably be able to retrieve them from backup (which the big commercial providers won't do for you).
I'd consider them lost and just concentrate on getting new copies.
