The visit follows that of TOWIE, Desi Rascals, Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother stars from over the weekend, when tabloid favourite Chloe Goodman, Jasmin Walia, Ross Worswick and Jess Impiazzi all visited the park for some pre-Halloween scares.

Karl Collins, who has also starred in , Casualty and alongside Hollyoaks, said of the event;

"Scare Kingdom Scream Park is definitely not for the weak or faint-hearted, and Psychomanteum is a different ball game altogether! I don't think I'll ever be truly clean again, no matter how much I scrub. What I saw has been indelibly etched onto my eyeballs! Sign me up - I can't wait to go back!"

The celebrities had to face 'The Minister of Fear' and endure scare attractions inspired by the seven deadly sins; pride, envy, sloth, greed, wrath, gluttony and lust. Attractions included, breaking into a haunted abandoned prison, visiting the twisted Manormortis Monastery and even facing the wrath of Satan himself in Hell! Most of the cast even stepped up to go through Psychomanteum, the internationally infamous adults only psychosexual experience. On arriving at the park Boa had boasted he was ready for anything, but after getting through Psychomanteum admitted that although he'd loved it Scare Kingdom had terrified him!

"It's lovely looking after our celebrity guests but they're no different to anyone else, they all get scared! Lots of people love that adrenaline rush of being frightened and every year thousands of people from across the UK pass through the park."
