The final episode of Scared of the Dark airs tonight at 9pm on Channel 4. Following Chris Eubank’s dramatic exit last night, only Paul Gascoigne, Scarlett Moffatt, Chris McCausland, Donna Preston, Chloe Burrows, Max George and Nicola Adams remain…but will they all make it to the end…and who will Danny Dyer reveal as the winner of the entire series?
In this episode, Gazza provides some insight into his previous addiction: “Unfortunately, I’ve got this addiction personality. I stopped going to rehab for stupid reasons you know. I was like, that’s the addict side of us so I went for Calpol. Calpol has 0.00 and it’s 1% of alcohol. And I thought well if I buy ten bottles, that’s like having nearly a pint. I was going round chemists and saying listen, I didn’t wanna tell anyone but I’ve got nine kids, I need Calpol. They were saying nine kids, what you doing with nine kids? I went yeah but don’t tell my family. It costs us a lot of money in maintenance. And eventually I was barred from all the chemists I think in Newcastle!”
Max also reflects on his bro-mance with Gazza, “Gazza, I’ve made a friend for life there. I don’t think he even knows actually how much. He’s helped me and Gazza was everything and way more you know, really kind. I’ve got a lot of things to sort out in my own life. I can’t stop thinking about Tom and feeling all that and being in darkness isn’t nice.”
Chris McCausland looked back at their final day in the dark and said: “It’s been an emotionally draining day, you know. Everybody recapping what they’ve got out of it and their own kind of journeys this week. I think I’m anticipating the emotional comedown that I will inevitably get after this. I’ll miss having the purpose I’ve had this week. I’ve felt like I’ve been of value to people in—in ways that either I’m not used to or in…in ways that I didn’t really expect and it’s over.”
Gazza told him, “You’ll be alright pal, f*cking you know, you’re a rock.”
