A bloke was forced to go on a date with a cardboard cut-out of Taylor Swift after losing at fantasy football.

In the caption she wrote: "And I have absolutely no regrets and yes someone drank it." @saatje32 And I have absolutely no regrets and yes someone drank it #university #flatmates #freshers Since then, the video has been viewed more than 277,000 times and racked up hundreds of comments from people sharing similar experiences of sticky-fingered flatmates.
