Donald Trump may have a problem when it comes to women voters nationwide, but one female vote he won't have to worry about is Kirstie Alley.

The former Cheers star took to Twitter in order to throw her weight behind the Republican frontrunner who is currently canvassing for votes in his home state of New York.

Alley, who lives in California which goes to the polls in June, messaged her 1.2million followers on Saturday saying: 'Hello boys! This is my formal endorsement of Donald Trump and I'm a woman (last I checked) and Rudy you are amazing!'

Kirstie Alley was both praised and criticized on Twitter Saturday after she announced she was supporting Donald Trump for President (pictured)

Alley, who starred in sitcom Cheers, bragged that she has an 'excellent' record of picking the eventual President, saying she voted for Reagan, George W Bush, Bill Clinton and Obama

Alley was referring to former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani who backed Trump's campaign on Thursday, saying he will be voting for the frontrunner come the primary in two weeks.

Alley later added: 'It takes balls to go for POTUS. My hat's off to anyone brave enough to aspire and give it their best shot. Lucky to be in the USA where it's possible.

'I have a damn good record of choosing presidents elected... Carter, Reagan, G.W. Bush, Clinton, Obama... Happy with three of my choices!'

Social media reaction to Alley's tweet was mixed, with people lining up to both criticize and praise her decision.

One user calling herself Ann Holman messaged Alley saying: 'Welcome to the world of mean, hateful people. As a fellow Trump supporter I get so much hate. We all have to stick together!'

Alley (pictured with Cheers co-star Ted Danson) is just the latest in a line of celebrities to support Trump, including Gary Busey, Charlie Sheen, Hulk Hogan and Ted Nugent

Alley spent the rest of Saturday fending off negative comments about her choice, hitting out at the 'haters'

Alley responded: 'Go figure, in the last 12 hours I've gotten thousands of hate tweets from team 'liberal peace and love'... go figure.'

Another user calling themselves Philip Matthews hit out at Alley, saying: 'What is it with these ancient sitcom stars and Trump?'

Taking a swing back, Alley retorted: 'I don't know, what's with an a**hat who calls himself a Christian slinging insults? Go figure.'

While Trump has picked up dozens of celebrity endorsements throughout his campaign, few of them have been from sitcom stars.

While Alley did receive a good amount of criticism for her choice, others came to her defense, such as user Ann Holman (bottom image)

Among The Donald's star-studded backers are Hulk Hogan, Ted Nugent, Gary Busey, Charlie Sheen and Mike Tyson.

Alley followed up those tweets by saying: 'We are globally under siege by terrorism. Our planet is suffering environmentally. Millions are living in poverty and oppression. Twitter haters? Gnats.
