Pick of the Day
Scared of the Dark, 9.00pm, Channel 4
Here's a new reality show where the celebrity contestants are definitely kept in the dark.
Danny Dyer hosts the show in which eight celebrities are challenged to live for eight days in complete darkness. Not a chink of light between them.
The contenders - Chris Eubank, Paul Gascoigne, Max George, Nicola Adams, Chris McCausland, Scarlett Moffatt, Donna Preston and Chloe Burrows - must complete a series of challenges to allow them to win, or lose, vital resources.
In the first episode, Scarlett is given a secret mission with night vision goggles.
Why anyone would subject themselves to this is beyond me.
