Why should I watch this?

There are a couple of promos for 2 of I UK TVs most watched programmes that I myself find not worth watching. The first is for the next seres of I,m a Celebrity Get Me of Here! in which presenters Ant & Dec are lost trying to find their destination with Ant doing some very unfunny antics.
