It may be a day late but wrestling champion Hulk Hogan has fallen for one of the darker April Fool’s pranks we’ve seen this year.

The kind-hearted star often retweets messages to fans wishing them happy birthday or sending them general messages of support.

But on Thursday he was punked into retweeting @AndySE25 who asked: “Hey Hulk, can I get a retweet for my granddad? Despite some family problems he never misses a show!”

Sounds lovely right? It would be if it hadn’t been accompanied by a picture of Josef Fritzl, Photoshopped into a “World’s Greatest Dad” t-shirt.

Fritzl is, of course, the Austrian paedophile who fathered seven children with his daughter Elisabeth, whom he kept locked in a basement for 24 years. Awkward.

It’s not the first time Hogan has been duped this way.

In March he was tricked into retweeting a picture of missing Madeleine McCann by saying she was his “niece” who “loves watching” the fighter and TV star.
