Channel 4’s series Scared of the Dark is set to become one of the sweariest TV shows ever when it launches on Sunday.
In the opening hour-long episode the eight contestants and host Danny Dyer say “f***” a total of 90 times as they try to cope with living for up to eight days in the pitch black.
Top of the swearers is actress Donna Preston, star of Netflix drama Sandman, who dropped the F-word 32 times. The 36-year-old came under more pressure than most as she faced the show’s first challenge, which involved unlocking a series of doors as a man in chains slowly crept up on her.
