You can get back at your ex this Valentine's Day by naming a cockroach after them

A zoo has come up with the perfect way of getting back at your ex this Valentine's Day- by naming a cockroach after them.

Broken-hearted singletons are being given the chance to take some sweet revenge by forever linking one creature that makes their skin crawl to another, the Mirror reports.

Hemsley Conservation Centre will name one of its creepy critters after your ex-partner for the small fee of just £1.50.

Participants will be given a certificate immortalising them in their true form as well as a quiz to find out just how similar your ex and their new namesake are.

You can also get your cockroach's name up on the roach board at the Kent-based centre for all to see.

The zoo decided to bring their cockroach naming revenge game back for 2020 after its success last year.

"There’s another way to make you feel better about getting back at your ex on Valentine’s Day," the website reads.

"The HCC is offering the chance to name a cockroach in honor of your friend's worthless ex-'someone' on this special holiday of love for just £1.50."

The money raised by the 'Name a Cockroach' programme will go towards funding projects at the zoo.

To name your own cockroach, visit the website here.
