Nicola Adams admits she’ll miss her son Taylor while appearing on Scared Of The Dark 

Nicola Adams has revealed that being separated from her son Taylor will be one of the biggest challenges when she appears on Channel 4’s new series Scared Of The Dark.

The boxer, who welcomed her son with the model in July 2022, admitted that since becoming a mother her “entire schedule has revolved around him” but she’s “really enjoying” being a parent for the first time.

When asked how she will manage to be cut off from the outside world, Nicola said, “I’m really going to miss Ella and Taylor while I’m on the show. That will be very difficult.’

“Social media will be fine. Not having to deal with social media for a while will actually be really nice. Just almost back to basics.’

The Olympian offered an insight into motherhood, adding, “Good, I’m really enjoying it.” It’s just the little things.

“Every day he does something he didn’t do yesterday and just seeing his little smile, it’s cool.

“It’s all about Taylor now and my schedule is all about him. That was certainly a change.

“The panic of when he was actually born and like, ‘Oh my God, there’s actually a person I’m responsible for now.’ Then panic sets in.’

Asked why she chose to sign on for the show, Nicola added: “I think because it’s so different, and I was intrigued by the concept of living in the dark for eight days and what that might entail and how it would be to not be able to use my sight.

“I think as people who can see, we rely on eyesight for everything and neglect everything else, so I think it would be interesting to just see what it’s like not having my eyesight and then try my how I will function, how I will make food.

‘How shall I eat? How can I even see what I’m eating? I’m the type of person who eats with my eyes first, so in that sense it will be very strange not to be able to see what I’m eating.’

Nicola will join Chris Eubank, Paul Gascoigne, Chris McCausland, Donna Preston, Chloe Burrows, Max George and Scarlett Moffatt on the show, which will be hosted by Danny Dyer.

To prove their mettle, each of the celebrities takes on a series of challenges designed to test their primal fear of total darkness or their ability to function in pitch darkness.

Those who are not up to their challenges will have to complete mammoth tasks to maintain their place in the show.

Every celebrity will be motivated to overcome their fears because in the end only one will emerge as the winner of the series.

On hosting, Danny Dyer 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.

Throw in a bunch of celebrities and let them do things with the lights off – it’s really good television. You’re going to laugh, you’re going to laugh even more. and I promise you’ll love it.’

Scared Of The Dark starts April 16 at 9pm on Channel 4.
