Opening up about joining the show at a recent press day, actress Donna explained: "We didn't know who was going to be in there so it was interesting.

"I think I knew everyone but I was like 'oh my god it's Chris Eubank, this is amazing' but he shut me down because I was like 'oh my f**king god', you're legend.

"He was like absolutely not. I think he just hated me from day one and that's OK. Some people don't like me."

Even host Danny Dyer had a run-in with the former boxer.

The former Eastenders star revealed: "He boll***ed me, and it was cut out, and I swore, and he gave it to me about swearing.

"So I thought, 'Oh, okay. So now I’m going to encourage every other fu**er that you’re allowed to swear when you walk in' because when everybody walked in, they went ‘Oh f**ing hell!’ and I see him just cringing.

"But yeah, he bo****ked me early about swearing, He doesn’t like that, does he?"

Danny went on to reveal that Chris was the worst behaved celebrity on the series.

He said: "I suppose badly behaved in the sense of being a bit of a t**t was probably Eubank, weren’t it? He’s on a journey as well, by the way.

"I think there’s a moment in this where you’re really rooting for Chris as well, by the way. He’s such an emotional man, and he does really open up about some stuff which is important for the show."

Danny added: "Chris as it goes on, you’ll see that he’s the f***ing man in there.

"He's the f***ing alpha. Eubank, who’s the f***ing boxer, physicality. He’s useless in there, and that comes right to the front."

Fans will have to wait and see if all eight complete the experiment.

Scared of the Dark airs Sunday, April 16 to Thursday, April 20 on Channel 4 at 9pm
