Scared of the Dark viewers furious at major show shake-up – and they’re blaming Chris Eubank

SCARED Of The Dark fans think Chris Eubank has put an end to all the swearing on the show.

Viewers were quick to notice that Channel 4 bleeped out the swearing in the second episode, but didn't in the first.

The Channel 4 programme sees eight celebrities step into the unknown where their senses are taken on the ultimate journey.

Many watching took to Twitter to speculate if the boxing champ, 56, influenced the change in some way after noticing that expletives were muted.

One wrote: "#ScaredOfTheDark first episode no swearing was bleeped out; 2nd episode swearing is bleeped out. Completely takes away the authenticity of the programme. Don't really want to hear high pitched bleep noises. Would prefer to hear words no matter how offensive they are."

Another posted: "Channel 4 why did you not censor the swearing last night but you are tonight? Has Chris Eubanks given you a telling off? #ScaredOfTheDark"

"Channel 4 has bleeped out the swearing tonight - that's interesting after all the commotion with Chris Eubank," a third added.

While some fans praised the change and said it was a positive move.

One said: "I like the show, but all the swearing is unnecessary. Unfortunately its become the normal way of talking now. #ScaredOfTheDark"

Another added: "Watching a bunch of has been celebs swearing and farting in the dark is what passes as culture these days. Glad I ditched the telly about 15 years ago."

Chris has had a huge problem with his fellow contestants swearing in the bunker.

On Monday's episode, he and Love Island's Chloe Burrows, 27, found themselves stumbling - and Chloe swearing as she struggled to navigate the furniture.

Chris could be heard asking her: "Did you just swear Chloe?"

After she agreed, he puffed on a cigar and continued: "Language yeah?"

Host Danny quipped: "She's going to drive him f**king mad."

Chris has also locked horns with football legend Gazza.

The pair clashed in the first show after Gazza left his co-stars speechless with a filthy story about Margaret Thatcher.

Chris asked the groups if anyone had any 'poems or stories' to share with the group.

Gazza left viewers at home blushing as he admitted getting turned on during a visit to 10 Downing Street.

Shockingly, he then admitted to sneaking off to a bathroom to pleasure himself leaving his fellow celebs open-mouthed and crying with laughter.

However, the comment did not go down well with Chris who insisted it was "pub talk" that Gazza was used to having when he had been drinking.

He told the cameras: "I don't know Gazza and I don't want to know Gazza. What's legendary is Paul. I want to know Paul, he is a beautiful man."

Chris has taken aim at most of his fellow celebs during the first two episodes with many viewers finding him irritating and taking issue with his behaviour.
