Ah, celebrities. Underneath all the glamour, the award ceremonies, and the international adoration and acclaim, they're really just like us. By which we mean, they're prone to making slightly stupid decisions and facing embarrassing consequences of their own making. And the potential for a cringe-inducing situation only increases when a celebrity is a part of a couple.
Such was a reality faced by Channing Tatum this week. The popular actor sat down for a casual evening with his British musician girlfriend, Jessie J. In a surprisingly cute turn of events, the pair were actually playing board games together - so at least we know romance isn't dead! Wanting to spice things up a little, the pair decided to up the stakes on their game. It's clear that Jessie is no slouch when it comes to Jenga, though, as it was Tatum who ended up losing - with hilarious (and cringeworthy) consequences.

And it seems that the couple are doing just great.
Based on this latest story, that is! It all started with the pair settling down for a game night - which is already very cute of them.Their game of choice?
The ever-frustrating (though not necessarily particularly strategic) Jenga, of course!The two decided to spice things up a little.
The way that they chose to do this? By adding another layer of interest to their game, in the form of a cheeky bet. The winner would get to post any photo of their choosing on the loser's social media accounts.And as to who won?
Well, that was clear - as Jessie J posted this very NSFW picture from her boyfriend's Instagram and Twitter accounts. Good choice!People were shocked.
