The former 'EastEnders' star will front the brand-new Channel 4 show, which will see eight celebrities stuck in a pitch-black bunker - a purpose built living space designed to block out all light - for eight days, with their terrifying experience captured by 50 infrared cameras, and Danny admitted former footballer Paul's flatulence caused extra frights.

Danny told The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column: "He’s got a rotten a***, Paul.

"They all began to get immune to it, but I could f****** taste it.

"It did smell in there, I’m not going to lie. Because it’s an enclosed space ... you know what I mean?"

Danny also revealed how Paul was a prankster on the show, and once put a fishy sandwich inside a bed of one of his co-star's.

The 'Football Factory' actor explained: "I think he put a sandwich in someone’s bed - a nice little sandwich, they’re rolling around at night with a f****** salmon or whatever the f*** it was.”

As well as the celebrities' whiffy wind assaulting Danny's nostrils, the star admitted the stench in the bunker was even worse because some of the stars didn't bother to shower.

He said: "I think they just brushed their teeth, so you can imagine the food and the breath and the farting.

"And they all sleep on a big, round bed, and all their heads are in the middle and it all goes around clockwise.

"So, that’s going to be interesting to see."

Danny recently admitted the show - which will also feature The Wanted singer Max George, Love Island’s Chloe Burrows, TV presenter Scarlett Moffatt, and boxer Nicola Adams, among others - is one of the most "bizarre" programmes he has done, but insists it is "proper good telly".

He said: "This is possibly one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever done in my career, and I have done a lot of mad things.

"Throw in a bunch of celebs and make them do things with the lights off – it’s proper good telly.

"You’re gonna laugh, you’re gonna laugh some more and I promise you’re gonna love it."
