This program me contains strong language from the start and throughout
Previously on Scared of the Dark...
Oh! Ah!
The group have now spent 84 hours living in complete darkness.
SHE SCREAMS
With tensions running high...
Stop talking so tragically about your life.
...cracks are starting to show.
These stars in here...
...they are ill-mannered.
The question now is, will Chris Eubank stay?
It is causing a really awkward atmosphere, innit? Yeah.
Or will he go?
But do you want to leave the Bunker?
He's taken his coat and his bag.
I don't think he's happy at all.
Because he's not getting involved.
Yeah, he needs to get involved more, man.
He's not...why ain't he getting involved in anything?
This group of celebrities are now halfway through their time.
Cut off from the outside world,
having been trapped living in a pitch-black bunker
less than 130 square metres.
Is he going home? Has he been talking?
Chris, are you afraid of the dark?
When you go out to the world,
that's what you're going into, the dark.
Chris Eubank has now been in the Vault for 30 minutes.
I tried to like talk him round and said,
"What can I do? Is there anything I can do?"
You know, come and talk with us and stuff like that.
But he didn't really want any of it.
I'm really surprised at that, you know.
Yeah, I'll say.
I don't think Chris Eubank would leave any situation.
I just feel like he's not a quitter
because he tells us all the time that we've gotta be positive
and we've gotta be a lion,
and all of these things that he embodies.
I just don't feel like he's a quitter.
I want him to stay till the end. Absolutely not.
I hope he does. No, I hope he does.
We're both boxers. Yeah. Do you know what I mean?
And we just didn't really get to share anything.
I know, it's such a shame.
You can only shout so many times someone's name,
and if they don't want to reply,
you can't force someone to talk, do you know what I mean?
Chris, what have you decided?
It's my last day in this construct.
The real dark is where I'm going back to,
where they need my assistance,
whether they know it or not.
I am an entertainer.
And, I'm sorry,
but I have other people to look after with my insight.
Is there anything that would change your mind?
No.
You've been ages.
The Bunker would like to inform you,
you are now a group of seven,
as Chris E has decided to leave the darkness.
Do you know what? I think it's a pride thing,
admitting that he can't do it,
and just not his type of people, do you know what I mean?
Yeah, maybe.
I think he found it difficult...
...in ways he didn't want to admit.
I feel like the energy is calm now.
Shit. I still can't believe he's gone, you know.
He's a champion,
and I thought he'd have the courage
and the strength to just stick it out.
I just wish he'd fucking said bye.
Yeah. Yeah, that hurt my feelings.
I'm shocked that he didn't see it through till the end
because I think he would have really got a lot out of it.
If you'd have said, "Do you want to be in a bunker
for a week with Chris Eubank?"
It was exciting.
Yeah, I'm fucking gutted.
I feel like I know as much about him as I did on the outside.
Yeah. I feel sad for him
because I think he really struggled with it.
He didn't adjust to the environment or figuring out his way around.
He was completely dependent.
I wouldn't have thought it was sad if he was
a nasty arsehole, but I don't think he was.
I think he was just bad at accepting other people.
Yeah.
I think he's a good bloke.
I'm really made up I got to do it with him.
Doc. Right.
Chris has gone. Mm hmm.
Dare I say it, he was sort of the fly in the ointment
of the group dynamic.
Could this be a domino effect?
Could we start seeing them all fall?
When you watch someone get to hit the ejector seat button and go,
the harder the struggle gets in their own mind.
So I think there could be a domino effect.
FAINT SNORING
Been tough the last couple of days, really tough.
I've not said much,
but there's something I haven't come to terms with,
and I knew coming in here that that was gonna be difficult.
I kind of shut it off, I guess.
I've just, erm, just not felt myself.
Max, he can't sleep. Mm-mm.
And I suppose your only respite from the madness is kip.
Do you think he's gonna last, Max?
Do you know what? I'm not sure.
His body language is of high distress, he's agitated.
You know, it just goes to show how hard life in the Bunker really is.
Good morning.
Is it Thursday?
Yeah, it's Thursday.
Having now spent 95 hours in complete darkness,
the celebrities are waking up as a group of seven.
You all right, Don?
I feel like there's been a lot of drama in the last day.
Yeah.
How did you sleep? Me, Nic?
Yeah. I didn't.
Oh, did you not? Nah.
It just wasn't happening. Yeah.
We've just gotta stick together guys, eh?
Yeah, this is nothing, this now.
This is the home stretch.
I've just had a word with them to say, look here, guys,
you know, we stick together,
because obviously Chris Eubank's left,
it's a case of needing each other, and it's important.
I think men in general,
we do tend to bury stuff and just deal with it later,
especially emotionally. Yeah, you're right. You're right.
But they need to rely on each other.
Yeah, this bunker is really stretching
human limits of stress tolerance.
Oh, that's me gone.
Oh, am I in your bed? That's me, yeah, you are.
Oh, sorry. It's OK.
THEY LAUGH
Bastard.
How the fuck do I get lost in here?
Ah! Oh, sorry. What are you doing?!
Oh, my God, I.. I'm sorry.
I thought you were by the bed.
We should know where things are by now.
Right, I've gotta find my fucking socks again.
I think when we wake up in the morning,
it's like a reset button, like,
and we just don't know where anything is again.
This is just taking the fucking piss.
Oh, I can't.
You're quite good in the dark now. I know, I'm getting around.
I've took a few bumps but I just thought,
instead of asking someone all the time,
I may as well just fucking go for it.
And in regards, like, the panic attacks
and the claustrophobic,
that's sort of, erm, I'm working on that,
and it's been, yeah, it's helping it,
even though, you know, it's still a bit scary.
But I'm getting to know me bearings, I'm taking risks.
Ey. Ha-ha!
Ah.
Gaz, do you need a hand?
I'm all right, I think, at the moment.
So I'm enjoying the challenge, not that it's rosy.
Whatever comes my way, I just take it on.
I think that's Gazza's actually growing in his self-belief.
He's kind of growing into this bunker,
and, actually, I think that he is motivating himself by that.
But all the others seem to be struggling, you know.
Gazza, he seems to be getting stronger day by day. Mm.
Are you jealous, mate?
Nah.
Especially not when you've got hordes of young women
throwing themselves at your tour bus when you try and drive out of town.
Wigan social club on me solo, on me solo tour.
This group have been locked in the pitch-black for the last 98 hours.
We're starting to see people open up more.
Why do you think that is Dr T?
We can't be seen, we can't be judged for how we look,
so we're gonna entrust people with more information.
What do yous do on tour?
We piss about a bit.
It was well weird, like, doing the last tour,
cos I've never done a tour without being absolutely
leathered the whole time.
Really? Yeah, like I'd always be pissed before we performed.
Oh, my God. Would you? Yeah. Why was that?
I think I struggle to adapt,
so I used to just drink to make myself feel
like it didn't bother me.
It's quite hard to differentiate sometimes
between the anxiety and depression,
but mine was certainly more the anxiety side,
which started when the boys got to number one with All Time Low,
where I felt like I should be on such a high,
I actually felt quite low.
I just felt really ungrateful cos I felt like I should feel
the best I'd ever felt in my life, but I didn't.
When I was drunk, like, I was more confident,
and it was like, ah, this is great, this.
Mm. The more we worked, the more I drank,
and then it became that we were working sort of 360 days a year.
Oh, my gosh.
My biggest mistake,
it's more of a personal one,
bottling up, like, emotion like if I'm hurt.
I did that a lot for a long time,
and probably covered it up as well with other things.
My birthday two years ago,
I probably had like ten pints or summat. Mm.
And then I think I did like about three bottles of red wine as well.
Oh, my God. And I was ill for a week.
Like the doctor looked at me liver and stuff and was like,
"Your liver count's pretty low, mate."”
I'm not messing with me liver, so I just stopped. Yeah.
I actually hope that it be quite therapeutic in a way.
Learning to cope with feeling shit
but being able to communicate.
That, for me, would be the most important thing coming out of it.
I'm fucking...honestly, I feel exhausted.
You'll be all right Donna, listen,
tonight when you go to bed,
that's five nights you've done, man.
Just think of that.
Ah, Gazza, that's a good thing to say.
I know, exactly.
Yeah, two nights from tomorrow.
TANNOY: Attention.
Oh, here we go...
Please make your way to the Hangar for your next challenge.
Oh! Woo! Woop-woop! Let's go.
This one could be a bit shocking,
but it can win you some time in the light.
Oh, come on, Chloe. Sort yourself out.
NARRATOR: Today is the group's first team challenge.
If the celebrities are successful,
two of them will be treated to some much-needed time
in the Bunker's multisensory light chamber.
You all right, Gaz?
Yeah, if anything goes wrong, call me mam first.
Oh, my stomach.
This is gonna be a real test of group dynamics.
They're doing this in the dark,
and they have to work together as a team.
They've never done this before!
I don't know what we're doing today.
To win, they need to all get into this one by two metre box.
So we can't see it, so how the fuck do you know you're in it?
If they aren't all within the lines of this box,
every 20 seconds, they will be given an electric shock.
My arse is fucking flipping.
They will have ten minutes to complete this challenge.
So every 20 seconds, we're gonna get zapped.
Have you ever had one of these electric things on?
It's kick up the bollocks, Dr T, I can tell you that now.
Oh. No, I've never...no.
I didn't sign up for this.
I'm shitting myself.
Are these gonna interfere with my implants?
My fucking heart's hurting.
You can't get a heart attack from this, can you?
How the fuck are they gonna find this box Dr T?
And with the fear of being zapped. Yeah.
Let's see how they get on,
because now it's about them finding a leader. Yeah.
Anyone got any ideas? Yes!
Go on, then, Chris.
Let's split up into three teams.
OK. Three, a two, and a two.
Us three go together, yeah. We're together.
Guys, we need to get in a line and walk forward at the same time.
Where are you?
Chris? Yeah?
What about a four, a two and a one?
Where is everyone? Get in a line, get in a line.
The klaxon's gonna start, the klaxon's gonna start.
Right, do you know what, fuck you lot.
Oh, God she's fucking swearing.
How dare she fucking swear?
I think tensions are running a bit high.
It's just when you spend so much time with people,
someone is gonna get on your nerves, and I don't know,
Chris M, he's got to be the loveliest,
kindliest man, but I do honestly think he always has to be in charge.
I don't know, it's grating on me a little bit.
Cos then at least we don't have to pick between the two twos.
Yeah, go and do that then. The four, you two go together.
HORN WAILS
OK, come on Donna. I'll go on me own.
OK baby. Yeah, we're doing a four here.
We're doing a four. Where are yous man?
Where are you two? No, we're a two!
No, no, no, we're in a four. We've just changed it.
You four stay together. Well, thanks for telling us.
Yeah, Nicola changed the thing at the end, and she's right.
What about over here, babe?
Yeah, shall we try over here Donna?
Let's go close, let's go close, close together.
Let's just get to the fun bit
and start shocking them is what I think.
This is huge, by the way guys. Are we in a circle?
Stop. Stop still guys.
Oh, God, here we go babe.
Get close, really close together.
Oh, God...God babe.
Oh, fuck. Argh!
THEY SCREAM
What the fuck?!
Yeah, if anything goes wrong, call me mam first.
Oh, my stomach.
Right, you two go together. OK, come on, Donna.
Yeah, we're doing a four. We're doing a four.
This group of celebrities has spent the last 100 hours
living in complete darkness.
No, we're a two!
Where are you? No, we're a two.
No, no. We've just changed it. No, we're doing a four.
Oh, thanks for telling us. It's all right.
No, you four stay together.
Today they're taking part in their first team challenge.
Let's go close, let's go close. Close together.
If successful, two of them will get some time in the light.
Are we in a circle? Spread out!
I'm getting more easily irritated.
I can feel myself saying things and snapping,
and I'm like come on, Chlo, keep your cool.
This is huge, by the way guys. Are we in a circle?
Stop. Stop still guys.
As a group, they have ten minutes to get into this box
drawn on the floor...
Oh, God, here we go, babe.
...which, every 20 seconds, if they're not all in the box,
all seven will get an electric shock.
Oh, fuck. Argh!
THEY SCREAM
Eee! Cor.
Cop for that. what the fuck!
Yeah, if you need a piss when you get shocked, you will piss yourself.
Why?
Oh.
Beeps will let the group know how many of them are inside the box.
No beeps mean no-one is inside.
We've gotta move round a bit.
Stop. None of yous moved.
Oh, shit. Oh, this is painful.
Oh, no.
Oh, Donna.
Argh! You motherfucker!
Fuck's sake.
Everybody move to a different place.
I can't see 'em doing this one mate.
I think they're gonna be bang in trouble.
Don't you think that we should walk in groups like in a line forwards?
Yeah, whatever you want to do.
Yeah, but, darling. Cos then like, cos then if there's...
Darling, we walked... Shh, Gaz. Shh, Gaz.
Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking.
When you aren't making progress, then that frustration builds
and we often displace that frustration
onto the people beside us.
Fuck.
Stop. All right, let's go. Here we go, here we go.
I'm gonna shit myself.
Ah-ah-ah-ah.
THEY SCREAM
Fuck! Argh!
That went clear through me clems.
No beeps. No-one's in there.
I think we should all be in a seven. No. What? No, no. Stop.
Oh, my God. Shit. Here we go.
Oh, shit, shit, shit.
Oh, my God.
THEY SCREAM
Fuck's sake. Right, come on.
Chris Mac is thinking strategically.
He's also able to hear where everyone else is
and he's venturing into areas that they've not been.
He's on his Jack, he's so close to it.
Stop.
Fuck. Ah. No.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
THEY SCREAM
You fucking sausage.
Ah. That's it. Shock 'em. Love it.
There was no beep. Oh, my God. Come on.
We need to do this tactically.
Guys, I think we need to stand in a line,
hold hands and spread out to cover more area.
The odds of us hitting the square is off.
Yeah, I think you're right, Chlo.
But you won't know where on the line it is, would you?
I think there's too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
Oh, God.
Where we going guys?
I've no idea.
Oh, he's in, he's in.
He's in, he's found it, he's in.
I don't know how he's done it but he's found it, he's in the box.
He just sidestepped his way in.
They're halfway through their time.
Stop.
Within one yard lads, fucking hell.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
Fucking hell.
ONE BEEP Oh! One's in!
Everyone stop. Everyone stop. One's in.
When they're told there's only one in the box,
they don't know it's Chris.
It could be someone on the end of the line.
Remember if they're not all in the box, they're all gonna get a shock.
THEY SCREAM
Listen, listen, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Chris, we all go to Chris.
One person got it, so I think maybe...
Pair up, everyone pair up. Let's pair up.
Oh, Donna's having a mooch over towards Chris.
Stay where you are, just move in a pair.
Why is everyone just listening to Chris M?
His idea was rubbish.
Pair up! Pair up now quick, get in a three, get in a two.
Right, I'm coming towards you. I'm coming towards you.
Stop.
Oh, fuck, it's coming, it's coming.
Oh, fuck.
TWO BEEPS
Yes, yes, yes!
There's two people in. Could be anyone.
Hang on, it's gonna electrocute you.
Here it comes. Ah!
Everyone come over here!
Everyone come here, cos there's two...
Everyone come over here. Everyone come over here.
Everyone. But what if it's them?
No because we were one,
and then Donna came over, and then it was two.
We did as well. Nicola, come here!
They have to work towards a common goal,
and what we see is connection and then disruption.
Come over here. No, no, no, leave them, let's see if it's four.
Yeah, but they've got. Oh, no, man! It's fine.
We'll see if it's four or three. This is ridiculous.
We're a two. You must be a five.
Stop. Shit. Oh, shit!
I cannot breathe.
Oh, bollocks. Oh, my God. Here we go.
Let's get in, let's get in.
BEEPS
Hang on if it's three... Right, it's definitely here.
It's over there somewhere.
This is awful, innit, but I love it.
Come over here. Where are you? Where are yous?
Right, they've got two minutes left.
So we need to budge a bit, don't we? We need to shuffle,
let's shuffle this way a little bit.
Come on girls. Because we all weren't in. So everybody get in.
Where's Gazza? All right. Get tight, get tight. Here, I'm in.
Good bonding exercise.
This is not your usual social situation.
Well, I don't know, it depends what parties you go to.
I see your point.
Get tight, get tight.
Stop.
Oh, shit.
BEEPING
Come on, come on, come on. Be more, be more.
THEY SCREAM
Everybody shuffle that way, shuffle that way.
Oh, no, they've shuffled out. They've shuffled out.
They're running out of time.
Everyone stick your feet in the middle as much as you can.
Yeah.
I'm sorry whoever my dick's touching, I'm so sorry.
Stop.
THEY SCREAM
Move that way. Yeah, move that way. Yeah, there's nobody.
We need to shuffle a little bit more.
Go right I think, go right a bit, go this way.
Which way? You direct us.
I think here may...no.
They're so close but yet so far.
Who's that? Go like this way. What, more this way?
There maybe. OK, OK.
Stop. Oh, God.
Get in tight guys.
Right, tight. Fuck. Come on, be six or seven.
Breathe in everyone, breathe in.
This is brilliant.
BEEPING
Come on, you're so close.
Two! Come on, come on. Ah, two.
Oh, here we go, here we go.
Three, four...
Yes!
Oh, go on, keep going.
BEEPING CONTINUES Yes!
Six! Yes!
Oh, my God.
Get tight. Ahh.
Yes! THEY CHEER
Come on. Come on.
Yes! Have it, have it.
Oh, they give 'em one little shock just for luck.
Fuck! That was uncalled for!
Hey, guys, group hug, group hug.
Oh, I think I need to have a lie down after that.
Yeah, no, I'm shattered after that as well. Woo!
All of our reactions was like,
you'd think we'd literally just won the lottery.
We were like, "yeah"! Literally.
Just the sixth beep and the fucking tension.
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Are we in the house now? Oh, yeah we are. Yeah.
Home sweet home.
Chloe dragged us in the winning one.
Oh, yeah, that last push. Well done, Chlo.
I think we won the challenge because Chris.
Chris is always...why does he know so much,
I don't get it.
But also, Chloe said that she kind of won us the challenge,
but I don't know what happened there.
I think there's crossed wires.
Just sit here. Are you gonna go there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here.
Do you know what, though?
I don't know if anyone's noticed,
but I am getting a bit tetchy and I don't know why.
I don't know whether it's being in the darkness
is making me lose a bit of patience.
I've got a big bottle of something, I think a bottle of Coke.
I'm all right, no, I just need water.
I'm getting a bit of a headache.
Yeah, fucking hell, mate.
Fucking hell.
So we've seen Chloe struggling throughout the day,
like getting frustrated. Yeah.
Chloe, I didn't think she was gonna last,
especially after that first challenge.
You know when she was, I mean she was... She was on the verge.
...absolutely in pieces.
Could she be at her breaking point?
Yeah, I think she's emotionally spent.
She's been like a fizzy drinks bottle being shaken
recurrently throughout these challenges,
and, you know, she's got an accumulation of fear and stress,
and I think it's starting to sort of convert into irritability now.
I can't believe it.
Believe what? What we're doing.
Just sat here. I just can't fucking...
...we're sat in a fucking dark room.
THEY LAUGH
I think you're having a little bit of a nervous breakdown.
Yeah, I fucking am.
The only think keeping me sane, I think, is Chloe.
Her level of annoyance was entertainment enough
just to keep me slightly sane.
Why can't they just turn the lights on for five minutes?
One minute? 30 seconds? THEY LAUGH
Put me out of my fucking misery.
I'm getting very fed up of not being able to see.
Like it's really testing.
You know, you can't even see where your hands are.
Nothing in the dark, so it's hard. I don't know.
I think I'm just having a day when I really miss home.
I am actually going insane right now,
I can feel it. I can feel myself losing the fucking the plot.
I'm losing the plot.
In here, I find it easier not to think about people at home.
In the morning you wake up,
and obviously your body automatically thinks
the lights are gonna come on,
and then you don't, and you're like, oh, fuck.
It's really intense cos you have no comforts at all.
You know, why should I keep putting myself through this,
cos it's so tough.
I do kind of want to go now.
Oh, lordy lordy. I'm sweaty.
I am sweating my titties off.
Yeah, I need a shower. Shit.
I fucking stink.
In a world first,
this group have now spent four and a half days
living in this pitch-black bunker.
Argh! Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry!
No, it's all right.
Having successfully completed their first group challenge,
they must now decide which two
are most deserving of time in the light.
Struggling a bit here.
They're all struggling because they've been in there so long,
locked inside this bunker away from light.
They're desperate, they're thirsting for the light.
Chloe, Nicola, Scarlett,
Gazza and Max haven't had any time in the light chamber.
This is gonna be a tough decision. Mm-hm.
Max, do you feel like you need to go in chick?
No, I...no, honestly.
Nicola and Scarlett. Those are my votes.
Yeah. Ah, for real?
Yeah. Are you sure?
No, I'd rather you two went in. Max, which two?
Er, Nicola and Scarlett.
I disagree.
Nah, of course. THEY LAUGH
Just get in there and enjoy yourselves.
TANNOY: Scarlett and Nicola, you can now both make your way to the Hub...
THEY CHEER
...for the light chamber transition process.
I'm so excited. Thanks, guys. Thank you. No worries. Enjoy it.
I'm so excited.
Now I need to go.
I needed just that little last push to keep me going.
But my favourite person is Nicola.
I just think she's sick, but also Scarlett's in the black hole,
like they really, really deserve it, 100%.
Walk towards the light.
There is no light. Give us your hands. Go through.
So they'll have half an hour in the light chamber.
How can this affect their mood?
Light does have an impact on our mood,
but I think for these guys they're just gonna experience relief,
maybe a bit of joy. They're gonna see themselves,
they're gonna see each other. Hey, that's a treat for them.
I haven't seen myself since we came in.
THEY LAUGH
TANNOY: The light transition process will begin.
Oh, this is so exciting. Yes! We can see each other!
This is so exciting.
THEY SING
Yeah! I'm actually buzzing!
I am. Hi.
Oh, my God.
Just being actually able to look at someone's face
while you're talking to them
and seeing the emotion on their face, like,
it meant the world.
Wow. This is insane.
Oh, my God. Is life normally this bright?
I know, that's what I'm thinking.
It feels like everything's fake when we're in the Bunker.
Nothing feels real.
So it's nice to see, like, in real life.
OH!
What?! Oh, my God. There's bubbles.
Nicola and Scarlett have been given half an hour
in the Bunker's multisensory light chamber.
Whoa!
Oh, look at all the bubbles. Oh, this is mint!
Oh, this is so good. Whoa. There's cupcakes.
Yes, we've got mirrors! Oh, yeah.
Is this what we look like? Oh, shit. I forgot what I really looked like.
Wow,
As Nicola and Scarlett enjoy the light
for the first time in over three days...
It's fucking rotten innit?
It is. The dark.
I wouldn't wish this on anyone.
...the rest of the group remain in darkness.
Our changing room, it's a square, rectangle.
Just a rectangle room. Yeah.
And I've got lost in there.
It's also so interesting to me
how you just have, like, you've never been in this room
and you just know exactly where everything is.
And the rest of us just aren't getting it.
Yeah, well I mean they all think I'm amazing in here,
they all think I'm walking round like I can see.
I'm walking around like I can't see,
I'm just better at not being able to see than they are.
Chris, when you were losing your sight,
did your eyes hurt or did it just...?
Yes. Did they hurt? Yeah,
I used to get headaches cos your eyes are straining
to see more than you can see. Yeah.
And I used to get like these little light shows
that would happen as well. Mm.
But I haven't really been able to see anything for over 20 years.
Right. But...
How did you deal with that like mentally?
Like was it really tough?
Frustrating, embarrassing,
because you get into situations that you probably wouldn't have got into
if you'd accepted your situation more.
I don't think I will ever be on a show again
where I get to do physical things
on a level playing field as every...
Erm...
You know, if every time you bang your head or something
or knock a cup over or do something wrong, you lost your shit,
you'd never get anywhere.
But this is unique
because you've given everybody my condition, really,
so it's been a joy to be part of.
You know, maybe you should get me back every year,
and this could be me holiday.
A holiday from dependence, that's what we call it.
And the mighty Chris Mac.
Again, we're forgetting that, you know, this man, on the outside,
is living through what all of these people have been going through
within the Bunker and taking everything for granted.
Yeah. How he manages the emotional implication
of watching other people go through a snippet
of what he had to go through is beyond me.
And using his words,
he's nearing the end of his holiday from dependence.
He's really been coming into his own,
he's been that guy that watches over the group.
Yeah. There's something of having to reconcile that's coming to an end.
While the majority of the group remain in the pitch-black...
Oh! There's face masks and stuff.
Well, I'm fully gonna make my face up, you know.
Oh, look at this.
...Nicola and Scarlett are halfway through
their time in the light room.
God you look so mint.
Do 1? Yeah, you actually do.
That's really annoying, that, you know.
That is actually really annoying.
I feel like I look like shit, though.
Your really, honestly, you don't. You don't.
Do you want some of this stuff?
There's like loads of shit here, absolutely loads.
I don't know what any of it is you know, I'm quite...
...I'm quite basic, yeah.
Right, you show me what to do. OK, so, start with this.
Yeah. Then... Shall I just rub this one on?
Yeah, rub that one all over.
OK.
Oh, what did you put on next?
Cleanser. Cleanser. Yeah.
Do I use one of these again?
Yeah. Yeah.
Scarlett like said that I looked really good, but, for me,
I know that I looked a bit rough.
Like my hair, wow, I need a haircut like so bad.
I've actually really enjoyed, genuinely, like not...
Yeah. ..being a bit feral, basically.
Not having to, like, proper get ready and stuff.
Like by day two I was like, oh, I'll not bother wearing a bra.
Like no-one can see. Oh, yes.
Yes, love it.
I didn't realise how much
I use my eyes for everything, you know.
Yeah, like just...
Yeah, you're right! For everything.
Yeah, yeah.
It was really cool to actually get some time in the light.
Made me happy and sane.
I liked it. I didn't want to leave.
Oh, wow. Whoa! What the heck?
Whoa, Nicola, I'm not being funny, like, this is weird. Innit?
I can't see shit now. Where's the door? Here we are.
Hello? We're back. Hello!
THEY CHEER
How, was it? It was amazing.
It was good, but, man, it's dark as fuck in here. This is so dark!
Yeah. Yeah. What was in there?
Like we walked in, and there was like a bubble machine
and a disco ball. Yeah, foosball.
Ah!
Ah, I'd love to do that.
Has that picked you up, given you enough to get you to the end?
Yeah, honestly, thank you so much because, genuinely,
now, like, I feel like that made being in the Black Hole worth it.
That was good that, yeah.
Good. That was good that, yeah.
The light room, instantly it all becomes about right,
look in the mirror, get a face mask,
do your hair because I felt like I looked a mess,
which is something that I don't worry about when I'm in the dark,
and it's been kind of nice, actually.
You wouldn't think that you can get that much out of
just sitting in the dark.
Yeah. But I feel like it's proper changed my thoughts on stuff.
How?
Like I just feel like,
well, this was ages ago,
but I felt like I was like sort of mentally in a dark hole.
Yeah. And I managed to get out of that.
OK. And then now I feel like I've physically got out of a black hole.
Yeah. And I can get through that.
Right.
I, actually, until I came in here,
didn't realise how much I thought about what I look like.
And I don't mean that in a vain way,
I actually mean that in I put myself down way.
Because since being in here,
I've realised that I haven't thought about my tummy or me double chin.
Like I've just been myself,
and those things haven't actually been in the forefront of me brain.
This is what I've loved about this, though,
is that, like, I think especially in this industry,
it is a lot about what you look like.
Do you know what I mean, like, we're all in the same boat
cos we're all in the dark. Yeah.
So it hasn't mattered.
I think I've realised that I probably look in the mirror too much
and use unkind words to myself.
I think I need to start being a bit nicer.
It's just been really difficult, I think.
Frustrating more than difficult.
You know, I can't speak for other people,
but I feel some people seem to be OK,
but for me, this is difficult.
This is really difficult.
I don't know if I can take much more.
Come on, Gazza.
Welcome to Scarlett's Snippers.
Yeah.
The celebs are 103 hours into this experience...
If you just take a seat on here.
...and TV personality Scarlett Moffatt
has decided to turn the living space into a hair salon...
OK, so. The top of me head's a little bit like a baboon's arse.
SHE LAUGHS
I'm having a stinker here.
Oh, I've got one fucking shoe.
...but Max remains in the bedroom.
OK. I don't know how much gel you want to use.
Oh, God. There we go.
Thanks very much, darling. That's all right. Don't mention it.
I feel like I've got a fucking lump of lard on me nut.
THEY LAUGH
It's not about what the customer wants.
Like the customer isn't always right.
Have you had your hair done, Max?
No.
She's put that much gel on, it's burning.
Oh, God.
Oh, I've just took me shoes off,
and I don't know where they are. Ah!
Max was struggling a bit this morning
with this experience and with this situation.
And, erm, I just don't think he's got a lot of mental strength left.
I want a lot of volume today. A lot of volume?
A lot of volume.
It's lovely. I figured I'd put in a little noodle on this side as well.
A noodle? Oh, yeah, add a noodle, definitely. Yeah.
I've just missed, you know, going to the salon,
having a natter,
so it was just nice to have a bit of familia...familiarity.
Familiar-arity?
Fuck. Familiarity.
Donna, come on. You're next on the list.
Here we go. Welcome to Scarlett's Snippers.
Are you sat down, Donna?
Oh, there's two of you.
It's my first day on the job today. Oh, is it your first day? Yeah.
Nicola, do you want to start with the gel? Yeah.
Sorry? This isn't the 1990s, is it?
THEY LAUGH
MAX: Oh, God.
If Max stays as isolated as he is now,
he might leave because he's not talking to anybody in the group.
Fucking hell.
He's been a rock to most of them in there,
but he's had enough, hasn't he?
Do you think he's... I mean, he's self-isolating.
Without him, could we start seeing them all fall?
Max is like the glue.
He's a cornerstone in the group, and if he leaves,
who knows who might follow.
So when I was 13, I decided to get a bob.
I shit you not, I looked like Peter Kay.
THEY LAUGH
Oh, God, I've got so much gel, it feels like I've been spunked on.
I wish I fucking had.
Oh. What the hell's that?
I just walked into a wall, sorry. THEY LAUGH
Just bon-bons on the couch here.
Oh, is there some bon-bons?
There you go, catch.
Er. Oh, did you get none of them?
No, I'll just put me hand out.
The group have now been shut off from natural light for 105 hours.
What were you saying before, Max, hon?
When I got in the band, like our first song went to number one.
So we went from literally doing like a primary school
on a Friday and then by Sunday we were number one.
Everything just changed overnight.
It's hard, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Like and I felt ungrateful.
I felt well ungrateful about it.
Honestly, I felt like that. I felt like why is my brain not going,
"This is amazing, this is anything that you could have wanted.” Yeah.
I think not being able to see the whites in people's eyes
and the judgment on people's face
means that you can just completely open up your soul.
And you know you're being listened to.
Now I mean, I don't[]I don't drink.
Two years or something, isn't it, Max? Yeah, two years.
Oh, well done man.
That's good innit?
Considering your industry.
Yeah, but there was like...
...other sort of reasons, like,
cos I found out about Tom.
I realised that, erm...
...that like it took... HE EXHALES SHARPLY
Fucking hell. It's all right. You all right.
Was he married with kids, yeah?
Yeah, his second was due a week after he got diagnosed.
He had erm glioblastoma,
which is a incurable brain cancer,
but it was at Stage Four when they found it.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, God.
I was shooting a movie, and it was the last day of filming,
and my phone rang, and it was Kelsey,
and I was like, "Oh, that's a nice surprise.”
Er, but, obviously, it wasn't and I...
...I couldn't really get my head around what she'd just told me,
and I don't think I accepted that.
But do you know what was lovely is that
people from outside of our group and friends
and stuff, like, even they chipped in to help.
Aw. Ed Sheeran did as well.
Really? Yeah, yeah,
like that saved Tom's life probably for like a year.
Yeah. Wow.
How do you deal with it?
There's no cure for that.
So you just sort of learn to carry on with your life, I guess.
Erm, but deal with it, definitely not.
I don't...I don't think I'Ul ever be OK with it, you know?
Like how amazing that you had something
that makes you feel so sad that it's gone.
One of the last things I said to him was, like,
I thanked him for making my life so much better
than what it ever could have been, you know,
like, that whole journey through being in the band,
like, he was my best friend.
HE BREATHES DEEPLY
Fuck.
I just don't...I don't want it to be like
like a burden or a thing with anyone else,
cos, like, it is hard in there, you know?
What a day.
The seven celebrities are nearing the end of their fifth day,
locked away in the pitch-black.
Isn't that crazy?
You've literally just not been seeing light for days?
Yeah.
But in this bunker, anything can happen.
TANNOY: Attention, the Bunker has an important announcement.
Oh. Oh. Uh-oh. Oh, shit. Oh!
Please spread out across the living room.
Oh, what is going on.
I thought everything was over!
Oh, God!
Too good to be true.
I need a wee.
This is actually making me really nervous, this one.
Yeah. What's going on?
Attention, today, The Bunker is giving one of you
the option to leave.
However, you cannot say goodbye.
What?
Shit's going down here.
I don't like it. I don't like it.
Jesus Christ.
Right, so they're never letting them settle too much, are they?
When they think that they're all sweet,
and they're all sort of relaxed and, you know, they've got this,
this job's a piece of piss,
they're fucking with their minds again Dr 1.
This is a difficult moment for everyone
probably because for each of these celebrities,
a bit of them would quite like to leave.
It'll be interesting to see if any of 'em fancy it.
The Bunker doors are now open
and will remain so for the next five minutes.
The countdown has begun.
Now, in this world first, this group of celebs
have been locked in a pitch-black bunker.
All they need to do is survive 180 hours living in complete darkness.
Piece of piss!
The Bunker doors are now open
and will remain so for the next five minutes.
What?
Today, for the first time, the Bunker doors have been opened...
The countdown has begun.
...giving one of them the option to leave the experience
without saying goodbye to anyone.
They're all struggling with this, ain't they?
Max... Mm.
You think he's gonna bowl off or what?
Sometimes being in the dark can put you in touch with
some of the darkest thoughts you have.
30 seconds remaining.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, Max is struggling here. Look.
He is distressed, mate. He's distressed.
Chloe, look at her. So emotional.
Looks like she's really considering it you, know. Will she go?
Be such a shame if she left.
The Bunker doors are now closed.
Is everybody still here?
Yeah. Yes.
I think I've come too far now to turn around and go back.
I second that.
Yeah, yeah.
I feel exactly the same.
Chloe?
I had, like, ten seconds
where I was like, "Come on, you can go home,"
cos I miss my fam, but... Oh, did you?
Yeah, I'm gonna stay.
For four of those five minutes, I was, like,
thinking of all the good things
that would be on the other side of that door.
I just want to know myself if I can get to the end,
and also, I really didn't want to let anyone down in that room.
Like, if everyone else can do it, why can't 1?7
We've never done anything like this before.
we'll never do anything again!
Fuck doing this again. We've got endurance now, guys.
No, I just, like, don't think about it
and then I was just, like, crying, "Oh, God I want to go home." But...
Even I had some dark moments today.
When you're thinking
in the dark on your own,
things tend to come a little bit unstuck, I think.
Is Max here?
I'm worried he went into the Vault.
Oh, God.
Max?
Yeah, I...I...I'm here. Oh, God.
Woo!
I was thinking of going.
I'd said stuff that I never thought I'd say to any one, you know,
so that...it was a bit of a shock to me
and I've not really adapted to it yet.
Well, I'm pleased that you stayed. Yeah, me too.
Yeah, I second that.
We've got this. We've got two more days to go. Yeah.
This way. How the fuck have I not got my bearings yet?
Oh, my God. This is doing my head in.
I...I just can't find anything.
It's so annoying. So frustrating.
Literally, I've just jumbled everything up.
So what is it? After tonight is it two sleeps?
Yeah, and that's it.
The group now have 69 hours left in the dark.
I wonder how they're gonna do the winner.
Cos I feel like we all have been through so much. Yeah.
The celebs that make it to the end will be faced with
the tough decision of voting for one of them to win.
Yeah, I wonder how they will do it.
Is it us or them that picks the winner?
Do they vote or do we vote? It's us that pick.
we'll pick, yeah.
We vote.
I've been proper torn between two names
and it's like a bit of a tug-of-war
going on in me brain.
I mean, we're all winners, do you know what I mean? Yeah.
It's really hard to make this decision
because everyone has their...
...their individual journeys
that they've been on, and they've really excelled themselves.
But I think... It's really hard.
I mean, everyone's chuff tog winners,
but I feel like this...
Oh, God.
This is really hard. Oh.
It's... Yeah.
Good effort. Good fucking effort.
I'm glad you stayed, Max.
Thanks, Chlo.
There was a point where I was like,
"I just need to be at home,” you know what I mean?
Yeah.
For Max, I think that the open door challenge
has put his mind in touch with the reality of life outside.
You can see, like, there are no distractions.
It's a time for him to reflect, and maybe he's now having to
wade through all of these thoughts that are catching up on him.
Morning, everyone.
Good morning.
SOMEONE FARTS
Oh. Who was that?
Yesterday was just pure mad, weren't it?
If that was yesterday, God knows what today's gonna be like, man.
The celebrities are now 120 hours into this experience.
Two more days, guys. Just keep it going, eh?
And they're waking to their sixth morning living in total darkness.
Every time I wake up I get really excited
because I'm like, "Oh, we can see," and...
I'm the same.
I was so close to going last night.
When I opened up about certain stuff,
it sort of really stuck with me and hit me pretty hard since
I just don't know if
I can carry that around here with me.
SCARLETT: I'm starving.
Shall we go to the table? Yeah.
I'm trying to find it now. Are you at it?
No. I think we're going the wrong way.
The table's over there, innit? Where's the table?
Oh! Oh, Donna, here's a seat.
Sorry, babe. What, next to you? Yeah.
Donna, where are you?
Thank you so much. Oh, my God.
Gazza. Yeah? Here you go, mate.
Oh, top, man.
Who hasn't got one?
Me, Scarlett.
Let's play Never Have I Ever!
What's 'Never Have I Ever'?
Oh, do you know what's mint about doing this in the dark?
No-one can judge you cos no-one can see you drinking. Yeah.
Ah yes, shit you can't see.
If you've done it, clap.
OK, yeah, yeah, it's a good idea, Chlo.
So, Gazza basically, someone will say something so, like,
"Never have I ever stole a bus and drove it down Oxford Street."
So you would clap, cos you have.
All right. But we wouldn't. If you have done it,
the sentence, you've gotta clap.
Never have I ever
pulled a face at someone round this table when they're talking.
Ha, Chloe clapped straight away! Chloe!
Yeah, told you. What?
Tetchy as fuck today. It's like, "Argh!"
Chloe, who have you pulled faces at?
Probably all of you today. Right.
I actually enjoy that no-one can see my facial reactions
because I don't have a poker face.
Never have I ever
slept with my Uber driver.
No way! No way!
He kept his mask on the whole time!
Oh, wow! Covid mask.
Oh, this was recently as well!
We were just going back and then I ended up in the front
and then we ended up back at mine.
That's a good one. Yeah. That's a...yeah.
But I've never gone back to see what he looks like on the...
...on the picture on the app, cos I think I'll hugely regret that.
LAUGHTER
Never Have I Ever - I always try to avoid playing it
because I always look like a bit of a prick.
No, it's funny. I love that story. Brilliant.
Never have I ever, when I played in China -
and in China, you know they haven't got toilets
so you have to fucking squat on a little hole in the fucking ground.
And I'm about to take kick-off, and I thought,
"Oh, no, I need the toilet.”
And as I'm crouching out for a shit,
I blasted one out
and it fucking went all over the back of me cocking shorts.
And they're shouting, "Come on, about to kick off."
I'm like, "Ah, fuck me."
So I just fucking went for it
and got two hands and just fucking squashed it into me socks and that.
And then ran out. And no-one would pass me the ball, like it was...
Oh! Oh...
I've never done that! No, I've never done that.
And to be fair, I did play shit!
Oh! What the hell's that?
I just walked into a wall, sorry. Oh.
LAUGHTER
Gazza? Yeah? You all right, mate?
After opening up about losing his friend Tom,
Max has been struggling with life in the dark.
I bet your head's been thinking about it nonstop. Yeah, it is, man, but...
Cannae get it out of your mind. It's been like...
yeah, it's, like, nonstop since I said it.
I haven't let go, you know what I mean? No, exactly.
I mean, obviously, you could tell when you were still crying about it
and that, you know, and that's... that's the first step, really.
Like, it brings up everything,
all the shit that you went through, you know,
and then brings up another thing, pal. Yeah.
Oh, bless you.
MAX CRIES
Let it out. If you wanna cry, I'm all right.
There's no shame. Sorry, mate.
Oh, fuck.
MAX BREATHES SHAKILY
I could see he was like... Didn't seem right and I says,
look, I'm here for him, you know, if he needs to talk.
You know, I'm not a psychiatrist
but I do have a bit of knowledge.
You know, I'm here to help him
with other stuff as well, cos he's been a great help to me,
the minute I walked through the door.
You did the hardest thing, actually getting it out, you know.
It must have festered inside you for ages.
You know, and he's probably looking down now... Yeah.
...listening to you, and he's probably just
got a smile on his face. You know, it's OK.
This place has broken me down
to talk about stuff that I haven't told my own family about, you know.
It's just brought a lot to the surface and I'm...
Like, I just can't stop...
...stop thinking about it now.
Um...
I'm not sure I'm, like, dealing with that very well at the minute.
Like Gazza said, I'm just not...not coming to terms with it yet.
I'm just worried, like, you know,
that I'm not gonna...
...I'm not gonna heal in here now.
I feel, you know, that really I...I should be...
...I'd be better off at home.
Argh!
Oh! Straight in the bollocks. Straight in there!
Tomorrow night... Argh!
...on the Scared of the Dark finale...
Right, guys... This is just not right.
Argh!
...the darkness becomes too much for one of our celebs.
It's fucking unbelievably tough.
Oh, shit.
I am struggling.
Oh! Argh!
But for those who can last to the end...
If they don't fall, they're going home Doc.
Guys, I can't handle...I can't do this.
...only one person will be crowned the winner.
I think they've found my limit.
Argh! Oh!
The person you have chosen is...
