Who are the contestants on Danny Dyer’s Scared of the Dark?

Channel 4’s latest series Scared of the Dark is set to have viewers on the edge of their seats, and we can’t wait for the madness.

The action-packed show hosted by actor Danny Dyer, sees eight celebrities spend eight days living in pitch black darkness while being constantly filmed. The group must participate in challenges in order to maintain their place on the show, and win meals or treats.

In order to leave ‘The Bunker’ in I’m A Celebrity style, the celebrities must shout, ‘I’m Scared of The Dark.’ At this point they are escorted into the light.

On hosting the unique show, Danny, 45, said: ‘This is possibly one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever done in my career, and I have done a lot of mad things.

‘Throw in a bunch of celebs and make them do things with the lights off – it’s proper good telly.

‘You’re gonna laugh, you’re gonna laugh some more and I promise you’re gonna love it.’

Who are the contestants on Danny Dyer’s Scared of the Dark?

Footballing legend Paul Gascoigne is taking part in the new reality series alongside the likes of Love Island star Chloe Burrows The Wanted singer Max George and Olympic boxer Nicola Adams.

Comedian Chris McCausland who is blind, actress Donna Preston and boxer Chris Eubank, who ‘voluntarily’ withdrew early from the competition are also involved in the show.

As well as battling the challenges, they also had to get used to each other’s annoying habits while living together.

Talking about Gazza’s ‘huffing and puffing’ each morning, which led her to believe he was ‘masturbating’ each morning Donna revealed: ‘There was little things like Gazza getting up at half six in the morning doing his exercises.

‘But we later found out he was doing exercises but we thought he was doing something else.’

She added to The Sun: ‘Because he was huffing and puffing – we were like what the hell is going on.

‘But he wasn’t masturbating!’

Thank goodness for that!

Scared of The Dark premieres tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.
