Boxer Chris Eubank scolds Love Island’s Chloe Burrows for cursing before starting a story about the universe and knowing her in his past life when they first met each other in the new series Scared of the Dark.

The first episode of Scared Of The Dark airs at 9pm on Channel 4 on Sunday 16th April, where the contestants cross paths for the first time.
