Hulk Hogan posts a picture of ‘HIV sufferer’ Cheryl Fernandez-Versini after tricked by Twitter troll

Oh no he didn't...

This could be the last we see of Hulk Hogan on social media for a while…

The former WWE wrestler has become a target for trolls on Twitter to varying degrees of fun – but he didn’t enjoy a sick prank at the weekend.

Hogan has only just been forgiven for racist comments that were unveiled on the internet, and now he’s been stung again.

A follower asked him to share a post of their ‘sick sister’ who was ‘ill with HIV’, which he did in good faith – but failing to recognise it was Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

After his mistake was brought to his attention, he quickly deleted the post and published this in its place.

It’s not the first time Hogan has been caught out by Twitter trolls – he fell foul of fans sending in photos of Premier League footballers mocking support for the wrestler during the racism scandal.

He also fell for this fan’s Josef Fritzl prank. Oops.
