Chris Eubank broke down in tears as he relived the death of his son Sebastian on a new TV show.

The boxing legend, 56, who is featuring in Channel 4's Scared Of The Dark, opened up about the death of his third eldest son, who tragically died of a heart attack at the age of 29 while on a beach in Dubai in 2021.

The late boxer has an unknown pre-existing condition and had been due to turn 30 in days.

Sebastian 'died from a massive heart attack whilst in the sea and probably could not have been saved even if out of the water'.

During Monday's episode of the show, comedian Chris McCausland asked the father about the loss of his son.

Eubank said: "He was everything. He was me. Poet, philosopher, lover, protector, a man of love. He was me.

"Things he did, he was magnificent. My son was, is, an inspiration and will always be an inspiration."

Speaking to camera, Chris added: "Your son.... they never leave you, ever. They are always with you. Always.

"My son Sebastian is much more than I could ever explain to you.

"The tragedy of losing a son who’s 29, imagine crying that hard, and then months later being grateful that you cried that hard for your son. It wasn’t one tear, it was an ocean."

At the time of Sebastian's death, the father-of-five wrote a heartfelt tribute, which read: "Never did I ever imagine I would write these words or experience the feeling I now have at the loss of my son.

"My family and I are devastated to hear of the death of Sebastian just days before his 30th birthday.

"Sebastian grew up in Hove in England but in the last few years made his life in Dubai where he had a wide circle of friends and was a leader in the adoption of a healthy lifestyle and of alternative therapies.

"As well as being a personal trainer and boxer, Sebastian was also a deep thinker who liked to challenge accepted wisdom.

"He was loved and respected by all who knew him and will be forever in the thoughts of friends and family."

Sebastian died just a month after welcoming his son Raheem into the world.

His wife Salma Abdelati said in a statement at the time: "Dubai Police and the coroner have confirmed that after a full post-mortem Sebastian Eubank tragically died from a massive heart attack whilst in the sea and probably could not have been saved even if out of the water.

"There was evidence of a pre-existing heart condition we were all unaware of.

"While still very painful, it is of some comfort that Sebastian died after having one of his favourite meals with one of his closest friends whilst doing his favourite thing at his favourite place in Dubai where he often went to swim. He was standing in the water close to shore watching the sunset at Cove Beach in Dubai.

"I am grateful that he was able to spend a few short and happy weeks with his son before his death."
