O.J. Simpson has trolled on Twitter after posting a snap showing him panic buying toilet paper and water amid the rise of coronavirus fears.

The 72-year-old former felon shared a snap as he visited US supermarket Costco wearing a face mask.

He was casually dressed in a grey tracksuit and wore sunglasses, wearing a white mask in a bid to protect himself from coronavirus infection.

His trolley reportedly included 60 toilet rolls, 12 kitchen rolls, paper party cups, and at least three cases of water bottles.

O.J. shared the snap with his 933,000 followers on Twitter.

He captioned the picture: "Coronavirus? Who's afraid?"

Twitter users savagely mocked the photograph, questioning his caption by referencing the 1995 trial that saw him acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

One said: "You are else you wouldn't be hoarding and wearing a mask."

While another wrote: "Good grief, Juice. It’s coronavirus. Not dysentery. You having some stomach problems?"

A third said: "I'm actually rooting for coronavirus here."

"What kind of a person buys only paper towel and water bottles," added a fourth.

The number of confirmed cases of the virus in the UK is nearing 200 and worried shoppers are wiping out aisles of nappies, tinned and dried food, toilet paper and… prosecco.

Chemists are also running out of hand sanitiser and cleaning products.

However, the NHS advises that the best way to stop the illness spreading is to wash your hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds.
