The Wrexham influencer was bet by a fan that he would not let Aspinall throw a dart at him while he held an apple in his mouth.
The video starts out with Dean putting a brave face on it and appearing to be fearless as he stands in front of a dart board with a granny smith apple in his mouth.
However, his mask quickly unravels as someone behind the camera is heard saying: "I'm scared," before Dean pulls the apple out of his mouth and replies: "What do you mean you're scared?"
Aspinall is seen limbering up by flexing his arm and fingers, which further terrifies Dean into saying: "Stop doing that, you're not throwing darts if you're shaking like a s***ing dog."
The reaction prompts laughter from Aspinall and Co. before petrified Dean goes back in front of the board.
Dean is seen placing his hands in front of his eyes as the world number seven darts player gets ready to throw.
But the 33-year-old has a little giggle to himself which sees a tense Dean leave his spot and yell: "F***ing hell. You're f***ing dragging it out."
After calming down again, Aspinall offers an apology in advance if he hits him, with Dean reacting by telling him he should have just thrown in and threatening to back out of the challenge.
However, he composes himself and returns in front of the board with Aspinall at the oche.
But once again, Aspinall's hesitation sees Dean lose his nerve as he moves away and says: "F***ing hell, I'm gonna f***ing hit him."

Determined to see it through, Dean then once again returns to his spot as Aspinall lines up his shot.

And manages to hit his mark as the dart goes straight into the apple, leading to relieved cheers from Aspinall and the crew behind the camera.
Dean himself gives the darts star a hug and can be seen relaxing with the tension of the moment resolved.
He then repeats his bold assertion at the start of the video but is heard saying: "I'm never doing that again," before the clip ends.
Fans were loving the hilarious, thrill-seeking content, with one saying: "This is the best video I'll watch all year."
A second said: "This gave me heart palpitations and I wasn't even holding the apple."
A third added: "Mate!!!! I s*** myself for you."
Another said: "This made my palms sweaty."
A fifth said: "I'm gobsmacked the Asp actually went for it. Career over if that goes wrong."
However, Dean's danger-seeking days may not be over after his fans challenged him to take a leg kick from namesake and UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall - a bet he has promised to carry out.

Lily Allen shares Glastonbury snaps as she reveals her surprise performance during wild weekend with pals at music festival

Lily Allen made a surprise performance at Glastonbury on Saturday night as she sang for ravers at the festival. The Not Fair Singer, 40, could be seen as she gave the packed crowd an impromptu performance. Donning a festival-ready look, Lily wore a bralette top with high-waisted black shorts as she entertained the packed crowd. She appeared to be in good spirits as she put on the animated display at Worthy Farm. Taking to her Instagram account, Lily shared pictures from the farm, including her looks as she partied with pals. She captioned the post: 'Much fun was had. Thank you @glastofest and @mercedesbenzuk for the lift!' It comes after she was snapped at Glastonbury with her stylist Marco Capaldo on Saturday morning. Lily and the 16Arlington co-founder were getting ready for a jam-packed day as megastars including Neil Young, Raye and Kaiser Chiefs all performing. Kicking off another day at the Somerset event, Lily looked stylish in a Barbour Bedale wax jacket and Bede wellies. Earlier this month Lily enjoyed a date with actor James Norton, 39, who was also spotted at the festival this weekend, after meeting on the celebrity dating app Raya. The duo made the most of their first outing together, with the pair reportedly seen kissing backstage while attending Charli XCX's Lido Festival show. The singer and actor, 39, were pictured cosying up to one another and sipping on non-alcoholic beers as they watched Charli's show in the capital, before heading to a backstage compound to party with the singer. A source told The Sun: 'James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 'We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing. Lily captioned her Glastonbury post: 'Much fun was had. Thank you @glastofest and @mercedesbenzuk for the lift!' 'I don't think they've even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.' Lily ended her marriage to Stranger Things star husband David Harbour, 50, in December 2024 after four years of marriage, following her discovery he had a secret profile on Raya. James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith, 26, last month before being spotted back on the star-studded dating site. Raya is so exclusive that it accepts only around eight per cent of applicants, but it has more than 10,000 members, with 100,000 on the waiting list. James' Raya profile is said to feature photos of the Happy Valley star with a shaved head – a dramatic new look he's adopted for his upcoming role in Sunny Dancer, currently being filmed in Scotland with co-star Bella Ramsey.

Collectors gather for retro football nostalgia at Chelmsford

Thousands of models of footballers have been on display along with kits from the past 50 years as people gathered to remember the football of their Tottenham Hotspur captain Steve Perryman was a special guest at the Retro Football Show in Chelmsford, Essex, on Saturday."A lot of people of a certain age have fallen out of love with modern football and as a result they want to immerse themselves in retro football, in nostalgia," said event organiser Greg of the large-headed Corinthian models also attended the 30th anniversary of their conventions. "It's just amazing to see that 30 years on, people share the same passion and they still buzz off the figures like you do," said collector Craig Robinson, who valued his collection at £ hobby began with "a routine trip to Woolworths on a Saturday with my dad and brother" when he discovered the figures."From that point it was a weekly Saturday trip and my pocket money was spent on those figures."Mr Landsdowne had a similar experience collecting Panini football stickers in 1979."My brother was a pro at West Ham, and he collected all the stickers. Pardon the pun - it's amazing how those stickers stick in your memory."He said football items used to be a lot more "tactile" before the digital age."Some clubs don't even produce programmes any more, which is a sad thing – if you want to look back on a game from the past, you won't be able to. "Tickets from the past are very sought after now." Visitors to the show were not just figure enthusiasts, and some attended for the vintage football shirts."Retro football shirts have just gone off the scale," Mr Landsdowne said."People in their teens and 20s will be wearing a York City shirt from 2013, then a Celtic shirt."A lot of them have no interest in football and they've probably never seen any of these teams play, but they're willing to spend £100 on shirts to show their Instagram channels."Although I love people of my age and older, it's nice to have younger crop coming too and appreciating it." Adam Grocott, also a Corinthian collector, said the main reason people enjoyed looking at the mini figures was "the nostalgia"."It's looking at your figures and knowing that you can get transported straight back to a period of time."It's also - and this is just a personal opinion -I think it takes you back to when football was proper," he said.
