Charlie James took to TikTok last Friday to share a clip of himself dancing to Frank Ocean’s hit song “Lost” as he worked away on a rooftop.At the beginning of the eye-popping video, the scaffolder Brit was seen crouching down to set up his phone to record his routine, and it appeared as if his manhood had popped out of his pants in the process.
