Danny Dyer branded Chris Eubank “a bit of a t**t” after the former professional boxer 'bo**cked' him up on his swearing. Chris, 56, features in a new Channel 4 reality series that Danny, 45, hosts - Scared of the Dark, which airs its first episode on Sunday, April 16.
Speaking ahead of the first episode, Danny was asked to name which celebrity behaved the worst 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.”
Danny also admitted that he and Chris clashed during their time together, as Chris scolded him for his bad language. He explained: "It was interesting, the swearing thing. 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?”
Scared of the Dark sees celebrities live, eat and sleep in the dark. Joining Chris Eubank is football icon Paul Gascoigne, Scarlett Moffatt, Chris McCausland, Donna Preston, Chloe Burrows, Max George and Nicola Adams.
Scared of the Dark begins on Channel 4 at 9pm on Sunday, April 16. For the latest TV and showbiz news sign up to our newsletter here.
