Channel 4 has reportedly commissioned a second series of celeb reality show Scared of the Dark.

In the programme - hosted by Danny Dyer - celebs are challenged to live together in a pitch-black environment in a test of endurance and mental strength.

The first series aired last month and proved to be a surprise hit, also performing well on Channel 4's on-demand service.

"It's filmed over a few weeks in the summer so it's really easy to get in the can," a source told The Sun.

"It was a no-brainer for bosses to order another series – they just have to convince celebs to sign up.

"It certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea, especially as it forces some people to face their inner demons."

The first series featured celebs including Chris Eubank, Scarlett Moffatt and Paul Gascoigne.
