When is Scared of the Dark on Channel 4 and when does the final episode air? Sun 16 April 2023 16:27 Kiesha Dosanjh
Scared of the Dark is a new show airing on Channel 4 hosted by Danny Dyer which sees a cast of eight celebrities living in complete darkness for 180 hours, but when is it on and when do episodes air?
In a World First, celebrities are not only giving up the limelight but the natural light too. They must eat, live and sleep in complete darkness, and of course, if that wasn’t scary enough, there are a bunch of challenges thrown in too. If they fail, they lose privileges, however, if they win they’re awarded time in the sacred light.
We’re sure host Danny Dyer‘s not going to let them in for an easy ride either.
We take a look at the episode time and the cast of celebrities who dared to sign up for the terrifying new Channel 4 show.
