- Olivia Buzaglo wore an outfit similar to ex-wrestler Andre the Giant on Thursday
- The wrestling legend was known for wearing a black one-shoulder costume
- Buzaglo saw the funny side on social media as she reacted to the ‘brutal’ trolling
Sky Sports presenter Olivia Buzaglo was left regretting her outfit choice on Thursday after fans ruthlessly mocked her for resembling wrestling icon Andre the Giant on social media.
After she appeared on the Sky Sports Transfer Show on Thursday morning, fans swarmed to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to highlight how she looked the spitting image of the former professional wrestler, who was a legend of the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the 1980s.
Dubbed the ‘Eighth Wonder of the World’, Andre the Giant was known for his freakish 7ft 4in frame and signature outfit, a black, one-shoulder costume, before his sudden death in 1993 aged 46.
Buzaglo took to Instagram on Thursday to react to the trolling, showing a mocking post with the caption: ‘People on Twitter are so brutal’.
The popular presenter also accompanied her Instagram story with several laughing emojis to show she had taken the trolling in good humour.

One fan wrote alongside a picture of Andre the Giant: ‘Olivia Buzaglo, liking the outfit today.’
‘They did you dirty,’ a user of X added, with multiple laughing emojis.
‘Man violated you,’ another said.
A third piled in: ‘You better burn that outfit now!’
Buzaglo was involved in an awkward exchange with former UFC champions Francis Ngannou earlier this year, as the fighter appeared to flirt with her ahead of his showdown with Anthony Joshua in March.
When asked if he was planning to stick around to watch Joshua’s workout, Ngannou responded: ‘I have something else to do, which is you!’

Buzaglo laughed off Ngannou’s advances and later took to X to give her reaction to the incident, posting, ‘Ahahahahaha ffs’, alongside some laughing face emojis.
Some fans suggested that Ngannou may have been referring to needing to talk to more of the media when he said ‘you’, while others were convinced he was attempting to flirt with Buzaglo.
