This program me contains strong language from the start and throughout, and adult content.
I've never actually watched horror movies.
I could never muster up the courage.
And this is the first horror movie that I'm going into.
This group of celebrities have agreed to take part
in a world-first...
I'm actually scared. It's not in that massive thing, is it?
Is it in there?!
...where they'll be forced to spend the next eight days...
I don't like that. "Explosion tests"? Oh, God.
.living in...
...the Bunker.
Oh...my...God.
Located deep within a 146,000 square foot hangar,
this specially built living space is designed to shut out all light.
GASPING BREATH
who's that?
GROANING SCRAPE
Someone's there.
THEY SCREAM
Most of the group have never met before.
God, I'm not liking this one bit.
THEY SCREAM Oh, my God!
Cut off from the outside world...
Oh!
I actually don't like any of you.
This is not for weaklings.
...will these stars be able to handle...
SHE SCREAMS
...180 hours in complete darkness?
HE SCREAMS
It's terrifying, isn't it, Danny? It's terrifying. It's brilliant.
GROANING SCRAPE
There's someone in the cage with us.
THEY SCREAM
And if they do have the mettle to last till the end...
I can't do it. I actually can't do it.
Turn the lights on now!
All they've gotta say is, "I'm scared of the dark,"
and then the game stops. THEY SCREAM
The group will vote...
Big... Ah!
No! Unacceptable!
THEY YELL
...for one person to win.
BLARING HORNS BOTH: Argh!
The person you have chosen as the winner of Scared Of The Dark is...
I'm heading towards the light, yes? Yes, you are, sir.
How-how wonderful.
I thought I was heading to the dark.
First to arrive at the Bunker is boxing legend Chris Eubank.
Oh, the right!
I'm a fighter, I'm a warrior. I love competition.
The only thing the warrior is afraid of is the unknown.
In you come, Chris.
You're gonna spend eight days in the pitch black.
Are you scared of the dark, Chris?
The light can never be afraid of the dark.
This, for me, is a treat.
CHUCKLING: Oh, my goodness.
This is your bag.
Wow. Yes?
They've taken five things out of your bag,
so there's five items missing,
and those five items are gonna be in that room.
I can see a toothbrush there, some flip-flops, aftershave.
You've gotta find these things, right? It's gonna be pitch black.
If you don't get 'em, you don't get to take them in the Bunker.
Right, Chris, are you ready for the lights to go off?
Amazing. Hoo!
Amazing.
Let's do this.
Going dark in five, four,
three, two, one.
CAMERA WHIRS
CHUCKLING: Oh, my goodness.
VOICE OVER: I'm doing it to inspire.
Anyone can do anything, it's just about motivation.
I've been afraid of everything all my life,
which is why I've succeeded.
Fear is good.
It prepares you. That's what I'm here to teach.
Time starts now. AIR HORN
Here we go.
So Chris has got just two minutes to try and grab his essential items
or he leaves them behind, even his toothbrush.
This is amazing, this is. It's so surreal.
It's completely pitch black in there
and if he wants to get out at any point,
he just has to say, "I'm scared of the dark,"
and one of the Dark Ops will get him out.
30 seconds remaining.
CHUCKLING: He's-he's just spinning around.
I shouldn't laugh. Walks a bit like ET.
AIR HORN That's a poor effort, me old son.
A very, very poor effort.
Good luck, Chris.
Chris will now be leaving his five items in the hangar
and head in to the living area of the Bunker,
where they will spend most of the next eight days locked inside.
The space is only 120 square metres
and it contains a large circular bed,
a comfy sofa and a kitchenette.
They have everything they need,
apart from light...
...and their every move will be captured
on over 50 infrared cameras.
I think Chris, you know, he is the ultimate alpha male, isn't he?
I don't know how long he's gonna last with that, though,
because it's difficult being an alpha male in the dark,
I'd have thought, really.
Mm. HE CHUCKLES
Oh, my God, I'm so nervous. I don't think I can do it.
Next to join me in the Bunker...
I've never been a wallflower. I love attention.
...Love Islander Chloe Burrows.
I am terrified of the dark.
I sleep with the main lights on, and the TV.
You have to put yourself in your fear to get over your fear.
I'm 27, I can't live being scared of the dark.
So, Chlo, you're gonna spend eight days in the pitch black.
How scared of the dark are you? Ten out of ten. Ten out of ten?!
Ten out of ten. I actually have a phobia of the dark,
that's the problem here.
Here's your bag. Now, there's five things missing.
What the fuck? No way.
Them five things are in that room.
My socks! Why would you take my socks?
Sorry, aren't they a basic human right?
What, socks? Yeah.
So, listen, you're gonna have two minutes in the pitch black
in that room to grab all of them items.
Here we go, darling. OK.
Let's turn down the lights.
Going dark in five, four,
three, two, one.
No... Oh-ho-ho! Don't, you're making me so scared!
CAMERA WHIRS Argh! Fucking dark.
Oh, that's taking the piss. Go on, baby. What the fuck?
Keep going. What is that? Go through the second door. A door?
Oh, my God! It's the start of your amazing journey. Fuck off!
AIR HORN Here we go. Here she goes.
What's that? Fucking shoes.
Oh, well done. She's got her slippers, well done.
A fucking toothbrush.
VENT BLASTS VAPOUR
SHE SCREAMS
My God! No way.
Oh, you bastards.
30 seconds remaining.
Go on, baby, get your deodorant.
Go on, girl. Go on, go on. Good girl. Yes. Well done.
VENT BLASTS VAPOUR
SHE SCREAMS
Don't worry - no-one from Love Island
was hurt in the making of this show.
AIR HORN, SHE SCREAMS
Oh. Fuck.
See, they breed 'em well in Love Island.
SHE YELPS
Even though she's just walked into a fence.
Oh, my God, no. What the fuck?
Oh, this is a treat.
DOOR CLICKS Hello?
Hey.
SHE SCREAMS what the fuck? Is someone in here?
I'm Chris. Hello, Chris. Hello. I'm Chloe. Hey, Chloe.
Oh!
Did you climb over something? No.
I'm crawling on something. SHE YELPS
There's no fucking doors.
Did you just swear, Chloe? Yeah? The language, yeah? Sorry.
Um, I'm not sure what a duo
that Chloe and Chris are going to make, actually.
Oh! Is that fur? You're wearing fur. Yes.
He's already pulled Chloe up on her language.
She's going to drive him fucking mad.
What do you do, Chris? I used to fight. I'm Chris Eubank.
Oh, my God! No way. Well... Are you scared of the dark?
No. I'm terrified of the dark.
What is there to be afraid of? Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
I'm going to tell you this.
You're wonderful, you're amazing, you're a cosmic being.
When you compare yourself to the galaxies,
they are huge and, you know, unexplainable in terms of size.
You are a universe, that's how wonderful you are.
We are long-lost pals and I've found you again, Chloe,
whatever, whoever you were in my last life.
That's sweet, that. well, it's true.
I feel a bit bad, I probably rolled my eyes
but there was too much going on for me to have this, you know,
wisdom being put onto me all of a sudden.
It was quite a deep chat.
Surreal, is the word I would use.
Oh, my days, I don't know what the hell I'm getting into here.
Third in is comedian Chris McCausland.
I am blind.
If any of you guys down the front here do need a piss,
you can just go.
My eyesight deteriorated from birth.
I'm blind, but it's not black.
I've got an idea of light
but I'm not used to relying on sight for doing things.
I'm usually at a disadvantage,
so I am looking forward, for once, being on a level playing field.
AIR HORN
Hey, listen. This geezer's running about, mate. This is incredible.
He's got no fear. He's clapping,
maybe he's doing it for echoey sort of noises.
Oh, my God, I've never seen a man move so quickly in the dark.
AIR HORN Oh, Jesus Christ.
30 seconds remaining.
Practically, I should be a lot more able than the other guys
and, if I'm not, that's going to be fucking embarrassing, innit?
Fucking hell, I'm deaf as well.
Full house. That's my man.
"You have some who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds.
"Only to waken the day to find that it was vanity."
DOOR CLICKS
Hello?
How many people are in here?
Two.
Um, I am Chris McCausland, stand-up comedian.
Oh, good. Who's this?
I'm Christopher. Christopher...? Eubank.
Oh, my goodness! I'm Chloe.
My hand's in front of you. Chloe, what's your surname?
Burrows. I was on Love Island. Lovely to meet you, Chloe.
Nice to meet you too. Oh, my goodness.
Well, here's-here's the thing,
I've been a stand-up comedian for nearly 20 years but I'm blind.
Are you? Yeah, and... So this is going to be...? Yeah.
What's this? Are you wearing this? Yes.
Oh, my goodness, are you not hot in this?
Oh, this is so comfortable, you have no...
What is this? What is this?
This keeps me warm, the smell of it is in-cred-i-ble!
It's incredible. Smell that, smell that.
MCCAUSLAND SNIFFS
Oh, my God, it smells like Chris Eubank!
Next into the Bunker is Olympic boxer Nicola Adams.
AIR HORN
The low bag swing, it's fucking working.
Competitive, naturally.
Get your gear, girl. Get your fucking gear.
30 seconds remaining.
Unlike the Olympics,
where I can prepare for what's going to happen,
I can't prepare at all for this.
But if I didn't win, I'd be upset.
AIR HORN She smashed it.
I can't see shit now. who's that? Nicola Adams.
Boxing? Yeah, boxing. Yeah.
CHLOE: Is someone else here? Nicola Adams.
Oh, my God, from...Girls Aloud? No! HE LAUGHS
Looks very military, this.
Actually looks quite intimidating.
Fifth to arrive, from platinum-selling boy band The Wanted,
is Max George.
# How do you get up from an all-time low? #
I kind of like that fear of the unknown.
I like that adrenaline that it gives me.
THUD Fucking hell! What is that?
But not being able to see anything at all, it might be awful.
I might absolutely hate every minute of it.
Oh-oh-oh. He's...
AIR HORN
I think that was an all-time low, weren't it?
Oh, someone's coming in. Someone's in here.
I wonder who it is.
Ohhh...
MAX: Hello? OTHERS: Hello.
My name's Max. So good to see you!
Yeah!
Where are ya?
Er, yeah, we're over here. Come over here.
Just follow the voices. Yeah, I'm following them.
I feel like you're... I feel... Oh! Oh, it's me!
Oh, I shouldn't laugh.
Hi. You all right? Yeah, are you? Oh, yeah, good.
That was a good start. Is it just us three?
OTHERS: No, no. Oh!
My name's Chris McCausland and this is Mr Chris Eubank.
Holy shit. You're like a fucking hero, mate.
Hold on, yeah, the language is not what we do... Sorry.
No, I'll stop. Apologies.
Let's be the queens and kings that we are,
so we can't use that language.
Right, OK.
Rrr! Rrr!
Oh, my God. Fucking hell.
Our sixth celebrity to enter the Bunker
is Sandman actress Donna Preston.
Why the fucking hell are you doing this?
I don't know.
I mean, now I'm... I'm fully regretting it.
Argh!
Now, remember, she's got to try and find her five essential items,
otherwise, she leaves them all behind.
She's gone for the mummy, the classic mummy.
Fucking hell.
I think everyone that's doing this,
they must have a good sense of humour, surely.
VENT BLASTS VAPOUR Argh!
Oh, fucking hell.
Because it's quite a ridiculous thing to do, isn't it?
Argh!
SHE SCREAMS
AIR HORN
Oh, hang on a minute. I just heard the door.
Hello? Hello. THEY CHEER
Oh, my God. Hello. My name's Donna Preston.
Where are you? I don't fucking know where I am.
Do you want me to come and find you?
What is this place? Is it the bedroom or living room?
MCCAUSLAND: It's all just kind of one big expanse.
Oh, my God, what is going on?
THEY LAUGH
Fucking hell. What did you say?
We have to watch our language so your parents will be proud.
Well, my parents don't give a shit.
I don't think Chris is a fan of mine,
because I-I did swear quite a lot when I came in
because I'm frightened because I've never been
in the fucking dark like this before, so sorry, Chris.
If I'm going to fucking swear, I'll fucking swear.
As the group settle into life in complete darkness...
...there is one more celebrity about to join them,
one not known for his calming nature.
Oh, I don't like that. Oh, God.
Love the geezer so much, I want him to do so well.
I mean, he's a hero of mine.
God, my legs are fucking shaking.
Best player England's ever produced.
Paul Gascoigne. What a fucking show this is.
Oh, mate, it is so dark in here.
Deep within a bunker... What the fuck is going on?
...that locks out all light...
Shall we try and find the bedroom? Yeah. Come on, then.
...a group of celebrities are attempting a world first -
to spend eight days living in the pitch-black.
Is that the bed?
You're lying.
Oh, shit! Fucking hell!
Oh, my God. This is going to be so hard.
Calm down. Calm down.
About to join them in the darkness is
the seventh member of their group.
Fucking hell.
England's most iconic football star,
Paul Gascoigne.
CROWD CHEERS
People are saying, like,
Gazza isn't mentally strong enough to do this...
...and that's a load of bollocks.
I know how strong I can be mentally and physically.
Hee-hee! Yes! There's the man.
I don't want to be a failure. Hopefully,
I can make a lot of people proud.
Paul, welcome to the Bunker.
You've done some mad things in your time, right? Is this
the nuttiest thing you've ever done? Got to be.
Why are you doing this? It's just a challenge, really. You know,
you think, "Al right, it'll be good.”
And then when you're sort of thinking about it,
you know it's going to be different, like, you know.
Listen, we're here now. Yeah. You're going to embrace it, right?
God, I'm trembling. Let's get a bit... Yeah, it's all right, mate.
I'm with you, don't worry. Can we turn down the lights, please?
You're going dark
in ten, nine, eight...
I suffer from...claustrophobic.
...seven, six... You'll be sweet. Oh! You're going to be all right,
I promise you. Yeah, he'll tell you that. Right, you're a proper geezer.
...two, one.
In your own time, sunshine.
Fucking hell. Panicking already.
Here we go.
God, my legs are fucking shaking. Calm down Paul.
Just got to get me breathing right,
cos at the moment I feel like I just want to fuck off back home.
I mean, this is a man that's been through a lot of stuff in his life.
Fame never suited him. Yes, he's got his flaws but ain't we all?
I know when I mentioned to me family I'm doing this,
every one of them called us out and said,
"You canna be doing that, you're shit scared of the dark!"
30 seconds left, and he's only grabbed his socks.
Oh, fuck me, I'm in a cage. I'm in a cage,
I can't get out. Paul, I love ya.
Please, please last the test of time, mate. Please.
KLAXON Eight days like this? Jesus fuck me.
THUD Hello? Hello. Fuck me.
What's your name? Yeah, come this way. Who, is it?
Gazza. Get the f...! Fuck off!
What the fuck have I put myself in for?
Gazza?! Paul Gascoigne? Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. Shaking a bit but...
Buzzin'! There you go, sit down behind you there.
God, that's horrible. Yeah.
Fucking that claustrophobic thing kicked in straight away.
DANNY DYER: So they're all in, all the celebrities are in.
My hero's in, Paul Gascoigne. Do you need a piss, mate?
God, I would be well fucked if it wasn't for yous.
By the look of it, he was petrified in there. They've all embraced him.
Panicking like mad, me. Don't worry, mate. I'm here, mate.
Don't worry about anything.
I'm buzzing to meet you, mate. Ah, cheers. Like I'm a massive football fan.
Paul was always a hero of mine growing up.
I always just saw him as a footballing genius.
I never thought I'd get to meet him, like.
This must be the changing rooms.
I can't wait to spend more time with him and, um,
and get to know him more.
It's like, it's pretty surreal, to be honest.
Oh, is that the toilet over there?
Now locked inside the Bunker,
the girls are exploring their bathroom and changing area...
Right, this is a cage for belongings.
...while next door...
I'll pop in there, mate, and have a quick one myself.
...singer Max George and Paul Gascoigne are doing the same.
THUD What the fuck was that?
What the hell is that? What? Don't, Donna, don't scare me.
Don't you fucking scare me. No, no. No, no, it's OK. I just heard something.
God, I'm not liking this one bit.
THUD What the fuck is that?! What is that? What the fuck is that?! No!
Will this door open?
I'm panicking, I'm...
THUD No way. Oh, my God, I'm going to cry. This is unacceptable.
Something's behind there.
Something's making horrible fucking noises.
Phew.
- O
Just got a little panicky. Maybe a little bit too much.
I just want to try and enjoy the experience
and, believe me, this is a fucking experience.
Pfff. I feel like crying.
Fucking...
This...may be a little bit too much.
This is going to be tough.
I'll be all right.
Watching over the celebs' every move alongside me
is Clinical Psychiatrist Dr 1.
One of the hardest things for the celebrities is dealing with
the unknown. When you can't see,
your brain just has to fill in all of the blanks.
There's like some weird ba... whoa, whoa, whoa!
When you switch off the lights,
the ability to stay safe is suddenly threatened,
and that is what's particularly frightening.
Oh, this is exciting, innit? It's never been done.
Interesting human beings, every single one of them.
Paul Gascoigne, the mighty Paul Gascoigne.
Oh, that's a camera, that.
It really hit him more than anybody else when I said
we were going to turn the lights off. He said he's claustrophobic.
When you multiply phobias or fears together, then you have like
a big, compound fear reaction. You know, all credit to him
for pushing through, cos many people would have just like,
you know, it would have been curtains for them at that point.
The celebrities have now been without light for four hours.
Would you take my hand?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Today is the first time that
I showed somebody where the toilet was!
This is the most surreal experience of me life here, Chris!
And it was fucking Chris Eubank!
And while some of the group have split up to explore the Bunker...
That is banging.
I think I'WL end up crying when I get out of here.
...Chloe and Paul, who are BOTH scared of the dark,
are sticking together.
I'm never going in the dark again after this!
Are you actually scared of the dark? Mm. Yeah.
And I don't know why, but I fall asleep watching a movie
and once that TV goes off,
I automatically just wake up straight away.
I do, and I put the TV back on. Yeah, I put it back on. It's a joke.
Thing is, it'll maybe help a little bit with the claustrophobic
or the panic attacks. Are you claustrophobic as well?
Yeah. When I was put into jail...
Oh, were you put in jail?
Yeah, they put us in jail for 12 hours, and I'll tell you what,
I didn't know when I was going to get out.
So I used to go to the bottom of the door where the jail was.
Yeah. And put me mouth to the door and go... To breathe.
You know, I achieved so much on the football field,
but unfortunately I've got this addictive personality.
Sometimes I have put myself in dark spaces
and I get very emotional very quickly.
So I just hit the drink.
And || realised that the consequences - it's not
the drinking, it's the consequences afterwards.
At the moment I'm doing all right and I'm enjoying life.
The thing is, I want to prove it to myself and to others,
you know, I-I have the mental strength to do this.
Throughout their time here,
the celebrities will be sent to the Hangar...
...where they will face a series of challenges -
in the pitch-black.
If they're successful... ALL: Yeah!
...they can win rewards for
the group or even some respite from the darkness in this light chamber.
Attention.
You must now order yourself in a line, from most scared
to least scared of the dark. Oh, no.
CHLOE: I'm definitely the most scared.
The most scared of the dark.
I'm definitely the most scared. Where's the sofa?
Oh! Here, mate.
I would be probably near you, Chloe, if you're scared of the dark.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They've asked them to line up, right?
Who's the most scared, who's the least scared.
If I'm the most, then Donna's next. Who's next?
All right. You go there, Gazza. Yeah, I'm here.
I'll go here. Oh, everyone's getting behind us. Wait, I'm the most.
I'm at the back? Yeah, you go. You're not scared of the dark, are you?
Yeah, well, that puts me at the back, does it? Yeah. OK. Yes.
You can come here. Right, no surprises to see Chris
and Chris at the least scared end of the line.
Chris Eubank - he's probably never going to admit
that he's finding this out of his comfort zone!
Well, at the other end of the line, of course,
it's got to be Chloe. She's already declared it when I put her in there.
She's actually phobic. I said to her, you know,
"How scared are you?" She said, "A million percent.” Donna as well,
who just hasn't stopped screaming.
Yeah. Oh, shit, what was that? For fuck's sake. Just dropped my bottle.
Attention, Donna and Chloe,
as you are the most scared of the dark, please make your way
to the Hangar to take part in a challenge. No!
LAUGHTER what?
Fuck. Oh, no.
Are you fucking kidding me?
No, fuck off!
The two most scared being put together for this task. Are they
going to rely on each other or is this going to be a nightmare?
No, this is a perfect recipe for an extreme disaster.
I am fucking shitting myself.
Cos emotions are contagious,
both amplifying each other's scary fantasies
of what's going to happen.
Oh, my God. THEY SCREAM
What is happening, Chloe?! I don't know. I don't know, I'm too scared.
Fuck's sake! I'm too scared! Ohh.
I'm a ten out of ten scared of the dark
because I don't know what's there and my brain"s like,
"Oh, well guess what? There's a burglar,
"there's a bear, there's a killer, there's this, there's an alien.”
It's all of that. I know it's not there,
but I'm still going to be terrified.
Do you think spiders can get in here? Spiders? I hope not.
Attention. Yeah. It is time for your first challenge... Oh, f...
...which is all about staying calm,
even in the most terrifying situations.
No! No, no, no, no. OK, babe. I'll actually cry.
Perform well in this challenge,
and you will win the group a slap-up dinner. Oh, God,
there's so much fucking anxiety now. Come on. Fuck's sake.
Chloe, please make your way on your own to the Hangar.
No!
No, no, no, no.
Come on, baby, you can do it. You can do it.
Fuck off.
Right OK, the first challenge, Dr T. There's a lot at STAKE,
literally - because this is about a good dinner.
They win this task, they get some posh grub. Yeah. Nice.
They get treated. If they don't,
then they're all eating shit together.
Come on, Chloe. It's the first task, embrace it.
You can get through this. God, I'm going to cry.
WHISPERS: Chloe. CHLOE SCREAMS
What the fuck?
She's freaked out already,
it's just one of the dark ops trying to get her into position.
I actually can't do it. I can't do it. I don't want to do it.
All they've got to say is, "I'm scared of the dark," and then the game stops, yeah?
I mean, there's something nice about knowing that you've got
an ejector seat button. Question is, are they going to use that lifeline?
Deep breaths.
You see her...her breathing's just increased in rate
and it's shallow so that's a sign of anxiety. And we have
to remember that, though we can see her very clearly,
she can't even see her own fingertips, it is THAT dark.
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Bit of composure, Chloe.
In front of Chloe are five locked doors.
There is a key to open them on a ledge near each door.
When she hears the klaxon, she has three minutes to get through
all the doors as quickly as she can...
...as there's a 7ft figure,
known as the Shadow, who'll be trying to catch her.
Chloe, you are not alone in there. No, don't say that!
I don't want to do it. Fuck that.
What do you mean, I'm not alone?
I can't do it.
It's only a 7ft geezer in chains, what's the matter with ya?
Fucking hell! DR T LAUGHS
I don't think I can do it.
Once the game starts, the Shadow will take one step
every five seconds.
I don't want to do it! I don't want to do it!
I don't want to fucking do it.
CHAINS CLATTER
Thing is, she'll only hear the noise, she'll never see him.
But she might have created something else in her brain
of what it could be. Right.
It might be a little cat. It's not, but it could have been.
KLAXON
Oh, like, I can't do this. Like, I can't.
Oh, no, I think she wants to come out.
If you do not want to continue,
please say, "I'm scared of the dark" and you can leave.
Don't say it, baby.
SOBS: I can't do it.
THUD
Ooh, she's going to say the words.
I'm scared of the dark. I physically can't do it.
I feel like I'm going to throw up.
I can't!
She's in fucking pieces. I feel slightly bad for her now.
It's OK. I can't believe I couldn't even do it.
It's OK. Fucking scared!
SHE SOBS Come here. It's OK. Sh.
I can't do this fucking show. I can't.
Baby, take a deep breath. Breathe. Come on.
You're having a panic attack.
It's only day one and we may be losing our first celebrity.
She's petrified.
Pray for Chloe Burrows.
Fuck...
For the last eight hours...
Fucking hell.
...this group of celebrities have been living in complete darkness...
That was so horrid.
...and after being too scared to even start
the first challenge,
Love Island star Chloe Burrows is taking respite in the Vault.
She's petrified.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope she can ride this storm.
She's terrified of the dark,
maybe even phobic of the dark.
There was something that just tipped in her mind
when she heard the words,
"You are not alone."
Her absolute darkest phobia just came alive in that moment,
and that's what tipped her over the edge.
I'm scared of the dark and, like, the unknown
and then she said, like, "You're not alone."”
Not knowing what's coming now,
I just, like, got panicked
and I felt like I couldn't, like, breathe,
do you know what I mean? And I couldn't move.
I just... I don't know how I'm going to do it.
I don't know what to do.
Oh, my God.
Here we go. Donna, remember, one of the most scared as well.
Argh!
Fucking hell. OK.
Now, Donna will be taking on the same challenge as Chloe
to try and win a decent dinner for the whole group.
To win, she must get through all five locked doors
in under three minutes -
but the Shadow will be taking a step towards her...
CLANKING
...every five seconds.
Aah...!
I don't know what I'm going to be like,
because I'm scared of the dark.
But I'm going to get through it - I think.
Come on, Donna. Come on, pull it out of the bag.
Be the hero. Be the hero on day one.
Here she goes.
If the Shadow catches her, it's game over.
The ledge is just above her, she can't see the ledge.
She just needs to find the key.
What the fuck? On the... Ah, here we go.
Oh, there you go. She's done it.
Look, the Shadow's right behind her.
She's staying cool, Danny. She's staying cool.
Calm it. Calm it, calm it.
You need to fucking chill out.
OK.
Oh, she's in, she's in.
Argh!
Four doors remaining.
Aah! Argh! Spiders!
Do you know what? I wish we could have got some spiders.
Interestingly, it's spider season at the moment.
CLANKING
Argh! Fuck off!
There he is, right behind her.
Fuck...
90 seconds remaining.
Aah! Stop it!
You're just being nasty.
Yeah, they are being nasty, Donna! They are being nasty!
This is not...
She's through.
Three doors remaining.
Fucking...! Pfft!
Fucking lip balm on. It's all over me lip balm.
Behind her, look.
Look at that daunting figure.
Here she goes. This is door number three, I believe.
Oh, no, you can fuck off whoever's next to me.
You can just stop - cos that's unacceptable behaviour!
Stop it!
Two doors remaining.
Come on, baby.
Final door.
Here we go, this is the final door.
Come on, Donna, you can get through this.
Are you fucking kidding me?
30 seconds remaining.
Yes, OK, yes, I'm fucked.
OK, yes, I understand.
Fucking hell.
Stop!
Oh, my God, he's so close to her.
Oh, God.
Where is the lock?
Can't find the lock! She is in more trouble than she realises.
Oh, you fucking...!
Ooh... Ooh! SHE SCREAMS
No!
You have been caught. Argh!
She didn't do it.
She did so well. She did so well!
She just couldn't find that final lock.
The challenge was quite challenging, you know.
I wanted a nice feed tonight and I wanted to be a hero,
but then I fucked, it didn't I?
I fucking love it.
EVIL LAUGHTER
"Out of the night that covers me...
"..black as the pit from pole to pole.”
For the next eight days,
this group of celebrities will be living in complete darkness.
"My head is bloody but unbowed."”
And I'm going to represent my parents magnificently.
Rargh!
I feel like my sense of humour
has been pummelled into submission by Chris Eubank.
It's like having an audiobook you can't pause sometimes,
you know, like a self-help book
that just keeps on telling you what to do with your life.
It's intense.
You know, see how much of it we're prepared to sit there and listen to.
Hello? Hey.
Hey. Is Chloe here? No.
What's - what happened?
So... Hold on, let me sit down, that was fucking a lot.
I'm really sorry, but we failed.
They asked for Chloe first
and then Chloe just came out after, like, five minutes
literally in tears, hyperventilating.
No way! Oh...
Holy shit, is she not coming back? I don't know.
She just lost it
and she was like, "I can't do it." Aw. Aw, bless her.
I wish we could go and get her and bring her back. I know. Yeah.
Oh, bless her.
Come on, Chloe. Wonder if she's coming back.
This is fucked. I don't want to do it.
If that's what happened on day one,
obviously I'm, like, the most scared,
then what the fuck else is coming?
I just, like...
I don't want to waste anyone's time.
I don't know.
It was just too much.
I'm starving now.
I just want to eat. Where's this food, man?
Following Chloe and Donna's failure in the challenge...
I'll take a cheeseburger and fries.
...the celebs are about to be given their first proper meal.
Attention.
Your evening meal is now in the pantry.
Yay! Yes, food!
That's amazing how he just gets up
and just walks straight to the pantry. I know, yeah!
Fuck, I can't... Just walks straight to it.
Yeah, he must have an unbelievable sense of smell.
He must be like a bloodhound.
LAUGHTER
It's hard to tell what it is.
It's like massively overcooked vegetables or something like that.
Look what they've been served up.
It's cubed food, right?
Everything they put in their mouth will be cubed,
just to - you know, freak 'em out a little bit.
Yeah, Danny you're right.
That is the punishment for failing this task.
I mean, not only can they not see what they're eating
but they can't actually recognise the shape or the texture
of what they're eating, cos this has been cubed.
It's not just taste that we depend on,
it's the look of food, it's the smell,
it's the feel of it - and that in itself is a punishment.
It does look fucking... It looks awful.
What's easier for people?
If we put it all in the middle and you just try
and help yourselves or do you want to pass us them?
Yeah. Cool.
Chris Mac has really come to the front for them all.
He's gone and gone the plates,
he's gone and got the knife and forks.
They're all sort of really looking up to him.
God, Chris, thank God for you being here.
I know!
Well, outside of here I'm dependent on everybody,
but in here, it's kind of turned it on its head a little bit,
of being the more able of everybody.
CLATTERING DISHES Oh, shit, what was that?
Oh, are you OK? Are you OK? I don't know what that is.
It's, like, floppy - like, wet and floppy. What is that?
That's beef. The floppy one?
It's actually chicken. You know what you're putting in your mouth,
normally, that's the key. Yes. They haven't got a clue.
I don't know what I'm eating here. No.
It's like square bits, but it's really weird.
They're like - they're like bloody Duplo bricks.
This is just like torture.
I think it's like a swede or a turnip or something.
Look at Donna's face. Look at her.
She is not enjoying that.
What the hell's that?
Mind you, I have tried the catering, and it was...
Oh, did you see that? She actually missed her own mouth.
Meals in the dark is quite problematic.
My technique in eating is kind of just getting
a lot of things on the fork
and just kind of noshing it off.
Noshing it off...
Isn't that sucking a willy?
Ugh...
I'm just, like, way, way too scared, like...
I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
For the last three hours,
Chloe Burrows has been recovering in the Vault.
Fuck! I don't know if I should do this, you know?
I don't know. I just don't know if I want to do it.
God, yeah, Chloe's been a long time.
I think she might have went, you know. No.
Thing is, she picked it up quite quick, didn't she?
I know. Where places were.
She was moving around doing the most, like... Mm.
She can't have gone. She's too tough for that.
I just thought it was like a really exciting, like, amazing opportunity
and I thought maybe I would get over my fear.
I didn't even realise how scared of the dark I was.
Chloe, do you want to leave the Bunker?
Is there any sauces?
There's pots of gravy, mate, and, erm...
Any mint sauce or owt like that? Do you know what? I don't...
Mint sauce! Fucking hell!
Hello? Hello.
Chloe! CHEERING
Oh, my God, sorry. Hello.
Babe, how are you feeling?
Oh, my God, that was the worst time of my life. Ah. Are you all right?
Yeah. Are you OK? Are you all right? Just so horrid.
How are you feeling now? That's like... Well done for coming back.
I actually have the biggest fear of the dark.
I couldn't even breathe. I was like, "I need to get out.”
Well, well done for coming back. Yeah.
Buzzin' you're back. Yeah.
I'm really not sure what to do,
but at this point I think I want to stay.
That's like where my head's at. Like, I want to do it,
I want to get to the end, obviously.
But, erm... I'm a big pussy when it comes to the dark.
So, does anyone have a poem?
Er, stories or philosophies, or...?
PAUL: You want a sexy story?
Oh! Yeah! Oh, go on, then Gazza.
Gazza!
I may get myself in trouble here
but, erm, when I went in 10 Downing Street,
I put - I put me arm round Maggie Thatcher
and just, like... Oh, God almighty.
I was like - I felt it getting hard and I thought,
"Quick, I'd better just release this."
LAUGHTER
So I just quickly...
...just fucking hit the toilet and just whacked one out.
Oh, my God!
Stop it! Gazza, stop it.
You didn't! I did.
Why? I just had to.
Oh, my... I just felt this fucking horny bit just come on out of us.
As I was... I wasn't going to walk round with a boner on,
so I just quickly...
Fucking hell.
Oh, my goodness me. I wasn't expecting that.
It's so unfortunate that it's probably true.
OK, so let's lift up the octave or the class,
let's lift it up.
What you've done there, Paul... Yeah.
...is that's - that's your pub talk, man.
That's not for here.
But then maybe I'm killing the party, yeah?
No. So, do what you want.
I'm very tired. I need to sleep.
I don't know Gazza, and I don't want to know Gazza
because that's...
...drinking, that's all that muck.
He's brazen, he'll drink you underneath the table.
He is a legend. That is not legendary.
What's legendary is Paul, Paul, and what he did.
He was a superstar in football.
I want to know Paul,
he's a beautiful man.
SNORING
SNORING CONTINUES
This group of celebrities have now spent 24 hours
cut off from the outside world,
living in complete darkness.
SNORING
MAX LAUGHS
Fucking snoring.
SNORING
There are still seven days to go,
and then any celebrities remaining will vote to decide on a winner.
God, it is bizarre, innit, that it's dark. So dark.
Or you snoring your tits off. Sorry!
It took me about half an hour to find me
fucking earplugs in the dark!
And I haven't got any socks this week, have 1? So.
This is really disorientating.
Oh, God, I'm exhausted.
Are you OK? Who's in there? Erm, Donna.
Yesterday, Love Islander Chloe Burrows failed
the group's first challenge.
I was just going to the toilet and then I started seeing a figure.
And I was like, fucking hell. Oh, no. Yeah, my eyes...
Honestly, my imagination is so hyperactive, it's ridiculous.
I think I can see people leaning over us. Stop it, don't do that.
I feel so disorientated, waking up.
It's tough because I don't want to be scared. And why am I crying?
It helps when you're around people but...
I'm just... Now I'm thinking, what if I have to do a challenge today?
I think I'm just going to have to try it and if I get shit scared,
then I'm going to have to leave.
Are yous round here? Yeah. Did you bring the cups?
Because I've found tea and coffee.
Ah! Ah, no way.
Has everybody got a teabag?
This is torture, innit? I know!
Is there a spare seat next to anyone?
Come in front, darling. OK, babe, thank you.
Right, sit down.
God, this coffee, strong as anything.
Are you feeling all right, babe?
I knew I was scared of the dark and, obviously,
I wanted to get over my fear, I just didn't think I was
this scared, to the point where I couldn't even move.
That really surprised me.
Fuck me, I've never had a panic attack or anything,
that was really horrid. Have you not? No, never.
I'm such a chill person.
The unknown and the anticipation of something horrible
potentially happening... CHRIS: But what could happen, potentially?
It's not a rational fair, I'm not saying it's rational
and something's happened to me. I know nothing...
I'm not going to get hurt in there
but it's a mind over matter thing, isn't it?
I'm so in my head because I've got a fear.
Oh, mate, drop me out, it's too much. One day.
Chloe won't be doing a physical challenge today.
But in this unique environment, anything can happen.
No, it's not here. What?
Including a surprise arrival.
Basically, all I know is I'm going to be in the dark.
I don't know who I'm going in with, what I'm going to be doing in there,
and that does make us very scared and apprehensive.
You know the whole fight or flight thing?
I always thought I'd be a fighter but it turns out
I'm just a stand still and shit yourself kind of girl.
The group's final and eighth member, TV personality Scarlett Moffat.
So, it's Scarlett down here. There she is.
She seems a little bit nervous about this whole thing,
she seems a bit freaked out.
"What did I say yes to? What have I got myself into?"
Welcome to the Bunker.
Thank you, thanks for having us.
I am feeling very nervous.
I'm just like...
I've signed up for some pretty crazy things
but I think this is definitely the craziest.
Shortly, you will be joining the other celebrities in
the living area, in complete darkness.
They have no idea that you are entering, nor must they.
What?!
No, you've chose the wrong person for this job.
I literally could chat the back legs off a donkey.
Your challenge is to try and live amongst them undetected
until further notice.
PAUL: Go on. CHRIS: All right, thank you.
You got it? Yes.
On the table in front of you is an earpiece and night-vision goggles.
SHE GASPS
Your mission is to enter the living space
and follow any instruction given in your earpiece.
This is exciting!
I never normally get trusted with stuff like this, so.
The only thing is, I am a bit of a heavy breather when I panic,
so I just need to keep that under control,
otherwise I will blow me own cover in about 30 seconds.
I probably do look like a proper spy.
WHISPERING: Oh, it looks different with these on.
I'm so nervous!
So nervous. OK...
I don't want to go in, I'm scared!
If Scarlett does pull this off, she will win back all the items
the group didn't managed to grab when they arrived in the Bunker.
MAX: Come this way, mate.
Including Max's socks and Chris Eubank's toothbrush,
which would be handy.
DONNA: Does anyone want for anything from the pantry?
PAUL: If there's any water or a biscuit,
digestive would be smashing.
Is someone there?
Don't know, babe. Don't think so.
WHISPERING: This is so scary!
Right, come on. Get your spy head on now.
Scarlett, it's...
...it's Danny, your cockney subconscious.
I want you to go to Chris Eubank
and tap him on the shoulder.
And don't fuck it up.
Over.
Here is the observation, here is the observation.
So, if I'm speaking something which doesn't makes sense,
then you say, well, be quiet. Yeah. OK...
Can they sense her?
Would you...? If you're coming back this way, would you please,
can you bring me one, please? A water?
Oh, my God.
Water's good.
What the fuck is that?!
WHISPERING: I think I was born to be a spy.
Wait, can you hear that? Is somebody actually here?
Don't say that.
Did someone just tap me on the back? What?
This group of celebrities have been
locked in the pitch black for nearly two days.
Someone tapped me on my shoulder.
CHLOE: No, don't say that, don't say that. I'm scared.
PAUL: Something's a bit weird.
What they don't know is they are now a group of eight...
This is incredible.
...as TV personality Scarlett Moffat has been in the room with them
for the last 30 minutes.
She's been thrown in there, she's been given a mission.
She's got to go undetected.
She's got night-vision goggles,
she's got a little earpiece so we can talk to her.
If she goes undetected, then the people who didn't get them items in
that first challenge get everything back, so she comes in a hero.
But I'm going to make it hard for her.
Scarlett, it's me again.
Max is winding me up.
He loves his hat,
so what I want is you to snatch that hat right off his nut.
Sh...!
Did you hear that?
They can sense someone.
Stay where you are, Scarlett.
Hey, what's back there? There's a man! No!
Here, what's that sound back there?
CHLOE SCREAMS
MAX: What you doing?
They're screaming for no reason. Yeah. Nothing's happened.
No! What's...?! No, come on, now!
Donna's just bowled into the room, into this madness.
Oh, my God! NICOLA: Shit!
Just clutching them biscuits.
Look at that! On the verge of tears.
I can't handle this.
I mean, what an image that is, Dr T. look at her.
No!
MAX: Chloe, are you making this up now?
Eubank, away from the group.
I don't know where he's going, he can't see nothing.
He is just not being party to this.
He almost looks like,
"How long do I have to put up with these imbeciles?”
Someone's just whispering in my ear. What?!
CHLOE: No, don't say that!
Come on... Take the hat, take the hat, take the hat. Come on.
Was that my hat?
Got the hat, amazing.
And she's fucked off, doing some weird little shimmy.
NICOLA: Who's walking...? Who's walking...?
DONNA: Is there something in here?
DONNA SCREAMS
ALL SCREAM
Look at them screaming.
Oh, my gosh. Why is that? Why is our first instinct to scream?
See, what happens is that, when we're scared
and we don't have the answers to the questions our brain's producing,
our brain tries to fill in the blanks.
But it's going to fill it in in the most catastrophic way. Absolutely.
While it's all kicking off in the living space...
CHLOE SCREAMS
...Chris McCausland has dodged all the madness, as he's in the Vault.
Erm, I'm feeling...
...a bit restless.
And a little bit bored, I think.
There's just not a lot going on.
My heart is beating so fast.
DONNA: Is there a seat next to here? MAX: Yeah, Donna.
PAUL: Yeah, Donna, come round.
Right, set your arse down.
Ah...!
CHLOE SCREAMS
ALL SCREAM MAX: What?!
No! What just happened there?
Someone just...something in my face.
What? What? I don't know what it was.
Oh, my eyes are playing havoc now. Donna...! I'm sorry.
Scarlett, Donna is making far too much noise.
Can you make her scream some more, please?
I want you to touch her hair.
I think there's something... There's someone about here.
Gazza, there's not someone about.
Stroke it.
But don't get discovered.
DONNA SCREAMS
ALL SCREAM
SCREAMING CONTINUES
DONNA: Oh, my God! MAX: What's happened?
Someone's just touching me.
I am, yeah. No, no, someone just touched my head.
No, this isn't funny any more. Something's going on.
Oh, get me out of this fucking room, ugh!
No, I can't handle this.
This isn't even funny, I fucking hate this room.
CHRIS: I have an observation, please? Yeah? Yeah?
What's your family going to say
when they hear you saying all the things you're saying?
Here we go, Chris. He's kicking off.
I mean, I know how I'm going to appear to my friends and loved ones.
You will appear to them what you are projecting now.
"Ooh, I'm scared! Ooh, what was that?! Ah! Ooh!
"No! Ooh!" Are they going to appreciate that?
Is this the person that they are expecting?
Show them your light.
She is. All of you.
We are. I am.
Do you think we're doing it deliberately? We're not.
No, I want you to control yourself.
But I want to be authentic, and that's how I would behave.
And if that's how I'm reacting, that's how I'm going to react.
I know it's not your type of thing... No, not mine.
I know, but you keep bringing it up.
I can't help how I react.
What is your problem?
I don't appreciate someone making digs when it's a reaction.
Like, do you think I'm deliberately trying to be scared?
Do you think I'm deliberately wanting to scream? No.
It's really grating on me, a little bit.
A lot.
Oh, my God, get me fucking out of here. Because this is too much.
Fuck it. Fuck him.
This week on Scared Of The Dark...
ALL SCREAM
what the fuck?!
...the celebrities are pushed to breaking point.
SHE SCREAMS
I didn't sign up for this.
SHE SCREAMS
I don't know if I can take much more.
Stop talking so tragically about your life.
I'm sorry.
But if they can last the 180 hours in the dark...
Oh, do you know what? Fuck you lot.
...one of them will be crowned winner.
The person you have chosen is...
