Love Heart sweets are to add ten new messages to their range in time for Valentine's Day.

Traditional messages such as "Be Mine" and "Say Yes" will be joined by the text message-style sweet nothings "I Luv U 24/7" and the less romantic Homer Simpson catchphrase "Doh!"

The new messages were chosen after an internet poll by manufacturers Swizzels Matlow and will be added into packs from Friday.

One slogan was chosen for each region of the UK, ranging from "Bonnie Lass" in Scotland to "Hunk" from the South-East.

The sweets have been made in Derbyshire since their launch in the Fifties and more than 80 million tubes were sold last year.
