Chris Eubank launched an angry tirade after Paul Gascoigne told a very crude story during Sunday’s series premiere of Channel 4’s Scared Of The Dark.
The former footballer, 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’d better just let this go.’ So I just rushed to the bathroom 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.’
In an on-camera piece, 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.”

But Paul wasn’t the only star the boxer clashed with as he berated Love Island’s Chloe Burrows for swearing before engaging in a game about the universe and knowing her in his past life.
Chloe was the first into the bunker, where she met Chris – but they didn’t seem to hit it off immediately when he scolded her for swearing.
When she entered the room where Chris was sitting on the sofa, he said, “Hey,” and Chloe immediately squeaked, shouting, “What the hell! Is anyone in here?’
Chris gave her his name and as she tried to navigate the room she cursed again.
‘Did you just swear?’ Chris asked before rebuking her, “Speech, yes?” and she quickly apologized when she found the sofa.
‘Are you afraid of the dark? I’m scared of the dark,’ Chloe said to Chris. He replied, “No, what is there to be afraid of? Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy…
“I’ll tell you this – you are wonderful, you are amazing, you are a cosmic being, when you compare yourself to the galaxies, they are vast and inexplicable in terms of size.
‘You are universe, you are so wonderful. We are long lost buddies and I have found you again Chloe whatever whoever you were in my last one.’

Oh no! “Oh almighty God, I felt myself getting hard and I was like, ‘Quick, I’d better just let this go.’ So I just rushed to the bathroom and just smacked one out.
Chloe, seemingly perplexed, said, “That’s cute,” and Chris told her, “It’s true.”
Chloe later recalled the bizarre first encounter with the boxer: “I’m feeling a little bad, I probably rolled my eyes, but there was too much going on for that wisdom to be imposed on me…
“It was quite an in-depth conversation. Surreal is the word I would use.’
Eight participants live, eat and sleep in the dark in the program, hosted by Danny Dyer. It runs over five nights through Thursday.
The star-studded cast includes Max George of The Wanted, Scarlett Moffatt, boxer Nicola Adams, Paul Gascoigne, Chris MacCausland and actress Donna Preston.
Danny Dyer will host the bizarre new series, having landed the gig after his EastEnders exited on Christmas Day last year.
The 45-year-old actor himself admitted the show is an odd concept.
He said: “This is possibly one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever done in my career and I’ve done a lot of crazy things.
“Add a few celebrities and let them do things without turning off the lights – it’s a really good TV.”
