Channel 4 'axes popular show hosted by Danny Dyer' after just one series

Channel 4 has reportedly axed popular show Scared of the Dark after just one series despite its huge success.

But viewers were worried the rabbit and other animals involved in the task would have been scared sitting in a tiny box as they watched Scarlett Moffatt and Chris McCausland shriek and 'prod' the bunny, not knowing what it was. Meanwhile it isn't the first time Scared Of The Dark has come under fire after it was hit with hundreds of Ofcom complaints due to the welfare of a rabbit used in a task (pictured Chris McCausland and Scarlett Moffatt) One wrote: 'Just watching yesterday's 'Scared of the Dark' and wanted to tell you that to use a live rabbit, locked in a box with two screaming humans poking and prodding it isn't great TV, in fact, it's disgusting.'
