And all it took was one tweet. It's hardly surprising; while young Moffatt does come out with some clueless clangers during her appearances on Gogglebox, she is - on the whole - one clued in astute cookie.

By way of a smashing response, Scarlett whipped out her recently penned book 'Scarlett Says' and flipped her way to a page she obviously knew would come in useful some day - because The Hopkins is nothing if predictable.

Owning twitter's biggest troll AND a book plug in one fell swoop... she's a canny lass, and twitter has been rejoicing ever since.

We should be listening to @ScarlettMoffatt and start ignoring @KTHopkins so she stops getting undeserved and unwanted media attention.
