Chris Eubank sensationally quit Scared of the Dark during Wednesday’s (April 19) dramatic episode.
The former professional boxer, 56, left the bunker after coming to blows with several members of the cast, including Love Island’s Chloe Burrows, football legend Paul Gascoigne and The Wanted star Max George.
Before turning his back on the Channel 4 show, Chris rubbed his fellow contestants up the wrong way when he refused to participate in a challenge.

Speaking to the camera, Chris said: “It’s my last day in this construct. The real dark is where I’m going back to, where they need my assistance, whether they know it or not.
“I am an entertainer and I’m sorry but I have other people to look after with my insight.”
He then left the bunker without saying anything to his castmates, prompting host Danny Dyer to brand him a “child”.
The former EastEnders actor added: “He was the fly in the ointment of the group wasn’t he! I wonder if it will start a domino effect and the others will want to leave?”

After learning Chris had left the show, Paul, 55, said: “Personally, I think he’s scared of the dark and should leave. I’m telling you now, he’s fighting the dark, it’s got to him,” while 27-year-old Chloe added: “It’s a pride thing and he couldn’t admit that he couldn’t do it!”
Fans headed straight to social media following Chris’ dramatic exit, with many slamming the star for his behaviour.

One exclaimed: “He couldn’t hack it and ended up being a child that couldn’t get his own way, throwing his toys out the pram and is a quitter, a fact that a love islander lasted longer than him is an embarrassment!”
“Chris Eubank! There are no words. Just a very rude man! it doesn’t matter what you’ve been through, there’s no excuse to be so damn rude to people #ScaredOfTheDark,” fumed a second viewer.
While another added: “You’re not scared of the dark… you’re scared of people that don’t agree with your opinion.”
