Chris Eubank will leave his fellow Scared Of The Dark competitors blind on Monday night after being told to stop killing their spontaneity with his endless lectures.
The former boxer inadvertently sidelined himself from the group with a seemingly relentless array of complaints and orders – including an apparent indolence to swear words.
But he is disguised during a discussion with blind comedian Chris McCausland during the second episode of the Channel 4 show.
Eubank also broke down in tears over the death of his son Sebastian during an emotional moment on the next episode of new reality show Scared Of The Dark.
Sebastian, the third oldest of Chris’ five children, tragically died of a heart attack caused by an undiagnosed heart condition while swimming, just a week before his 30th birthday in 2021.
During yesterday’s episode of the Channel 4 programme, comedian Chris McCausland asked Chris, 56, about the loss and if it had happened recently.
The boxer replied, “It will always be new.”
Getting emotional, he added: “He was everything. he was me Poet, philosopher, lover, protector, a man of love. he was me

“Things he did, he was great. My son was, is and will always be an inspiration.”
Chris said to the camera: “Your son… they never leave you, ever. They are always with you. Always.
“My son Sebastian is much more than I could ever explain to you.
“The tragedy of losing a 29 year old son, imagine crying so much and then months later being thankful that you cried so much for your son. It wasn’t a teardrop, it was an ocean.”
At the time of Sebastian’s death in 2021, Chris wrote a heartfelt tribute on social media, telling his fans, “I never thought I would write those words or experience the feeling I have now at the loss of my son.
“My family and I are devastated to learn of Sebastian’s death just days before his 30th birthday.
“Sebastian grew up in Hove, England but has spent the last few years living in Dubai where he has a large circle of friends and has been at the forefront of promoting healthy living and alternative therapies.
“Sebastian was not only a personal trainer and boxer, but also a deep thinker who liked to challenge accepted wisdom.
“He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will forever be in the thoughts of friends and family.”
Sebastian was also a boxer and lived in the United Arab Emirates with his wife Salma Abdelati, 42, and son Raheem, who was born 32 days before his father’s death.
Salma said she hopes Raheem, now two, becomes a heart surgeon in memory of his father, who went by the name Alka Lion and fought in two professional fights and won both.
After his son’s death, Chris told Good Morning Britain: “I can’t tell you how proud I am of this man. He was my son and I loved him.
“Every moment we shared was my favorite moment, but there were so, so many moments I missed when we weren’t together.”

Salma said she wanted her son to be a surgeon, adding: “If he takes up athletics as a side job, I wouldn’t mind. For me, he must have a job that helps people.”
The 42-year-old, who lost her father shortly after her husband, added: “Seb was so proud of his father and felt very close to him. It was a deep and spiritual relationship. I see many similarities between them.”
Salma, who is originally from Sudan but grew up in the UK, said it was comforting to hear boxing legend Chris tell her son: “You’re amazing” – and she believed Sebastian, whom she described as “pure” referred to, “would want to be happy and move on.
Chris made an impression on the first episode of Scared Of The Dark last night when he snubbed Paul Gascoigne after the ex-footballer shared a crude story.
The former England player, 55, had shared an adult story about how he “relieved” in the toilet after meeting the late Margaret Thatcher at 10 Downing Street in 1990.
And while all the other attendees broke into fits of giggles, an irate Chris berated Paul before going wild in a confessional.
The former Tottenham Hotspur player teased a “sexy story” before admitting: “I could get myself in trouble here but as I walked into 10 Downing Street I put my arm around Maggie Thatcher.
“Oh almighty God, I felt myself getting hard and I was like, ‘Quick, I better just let this go. So I just went to the bathroom quickly and just smacked one out.

“The nice piece just comes out of us and I didn’t want to walk around with a hard-on so I just quickly…”
Visibly unfazed, Chris replied, “It’s such a shame it’s probably true. OK, so let’s raise the octave or class. let’s lift it up
“What you were doing, Paul, is your bar talk, man. It’s not for here.”
Noticing the room had gone quiet, he added, “But then I might kill the party. Yes, so do what you want. I’m very tired. I have to sleep.’
Speaking to the camera, Chris later said, “I don’t know Gazza. And I don’t want to know Gazza. Because that’s drinking. That’s all crap.
“He’s bold. He’ll drink you under the table. He’s a legend that isn’t legendary. Paul is legendary. Paul and what he did.
“He was a superstar in football. I want to get to know Paul. He is a beautiful man.”
Scared Of The Dark will be shown on Channel 4 five nights through Thursday at 9pm.
