This is the bizarre moment a helpless groom-to-be fell victim to a stag-do prank that saw him taped him to traffic lights wearing just a thong and suspenders.
Jack Wilkins, 32, left little to the imagination after his mates tied him up at the town centre junction and captured the ordeal on camera.
The welder, who is getting married on August 25, can be seen grinning and laughing away as bewildered cars and locals watch on in Basildon, Essex.

Aaron Shinnick, one of the masterminds behind the prank on Saturday, said Jack was carried over to the lights after a botched nipple piercing attempt.
Aaron said: "The Stag Party for Jack Wilkins in Basildon soon become the talk of the town when a failed nipple piercing attempt ended up with him being carried across the road and taped to the traffic lights outside the Beehive pub in nothing but suspenders, thong, sandals and socks.

"This act bought tears to shoppers, sounds of horns from passing vehicles and of course prides of joy to successful stag group."
Aaron has since launched a petition calling for Jack to turn on the town's Christmas lights while donning his thong and suspenders costume.
