Kerr's tweet -- which came complete with a fairly no-nonsense caption -- swiftly went viral. At the time of writing, it's racked up around 25,000 retweets.

As with anything that goes viral on Twitter, it's attracted its fair share of trolls as well as favourites -- but Kerr isn't letting any negative responses get her down.

Looks like she had a good Valentine's Day in the end, too.
