They get A LOT of stick, but they've grafted and are genuinely a funny pair. Some of the skits they do on Saturday Night Takeaway are absolutely hilarious.

Amazing how many people hate it so much, yet feel compelled to open a thread about it and then take the effort to tell everyone how much they hate it. I love the internet!
It's good escapist tosh and Ant & Dec are absolute masters of the show. Some years I can leave it, other times it is compulsive viewing.
I am slightly confused how some people have never seen it and yet know it is rubbish?

It's definitely not the worst thing out there. At least it kind of has a game show aspect. I usually don't watch it though, purely because I hardly watch anything that's actually on TV. The only actual TV program I watch is The Masked Singer. If there was someone I really like on Celebrity though I'd potentially give it a look. Like a good comedian or someone. I don't think that's the case this year.
Not something I would usually watch, but might do just to see MH chomping down on some Kangaroo penis?

I'm fairly confident he'll be voted by the public to do every bushtucker trial, so that scenario is bound to happen. Even if he luckily missed out by vote, I suspect the producers will make sure it happens at some point.

The public need to do the opposite and ignore him, zero votes, and he will be voted off at the earliest stage and never be seen again. However, i know that won't happen.

Think I’d accept the opprobrium I’d get for £400k.
Who knows. Maybe said person will find redemption on the show and he will be the new Ed Balls / Michael Portillo ??

I've watched it as my wife and daughter like it and I guess unless you watch a program you can't decide whether you like it or not, however I've never watched Love Island but I know I won't like it.
Anyhow, it's awful, it's main theme is about ritual humiliation which is disgusting.

I thought every reality TV program was about humiliation

I feel when I am older or more accurately when the girls are older I won't get much choice on the TV
I give the wife free reign Most of time, we want a few series together but otherwise she likes the following
Made in Chelsea
Towie
Sas survival thing (full of those from above)
Strickly (don't mind that)
Celeb
Masked singer and dancer
You end up watching it out corner of your eye whilst doing stuff on the laptop , but I'd say I can't stand towier or made in Chelsea but I don't mind the celeb, masked singer etc and strickly
Mindless escapism

I don't mind Ant and Dec at all, I watched Biker Grove after all.
What I can't stand is the crap they do with animals for "entertainment".
Edit...
Reality TV shows I have enjoyed are the Villa (original and best) and Big Brother.

@pauljames87 and others have it right. Long dark evenings have to be filled. And if I’m not out I find there is little harm in watching this sort of stuff - it provides something ongoing; I can watch it with my Mrs and daughter, and we can debate who we like; don’t like; who’s doing well; who’s rubbish etc. - plus and most importantly we can have a laugh as well as a grimace.
And as I am currently reading Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina I think I am allowed a bit of dumbing down.

Well if you accept or put aside the distaste you might have about the cynical social media profile building nature of what most if not all on LI are seeking, you never know the weird ‘enjoyment/shock’ you can get watching 20-somethings playing the transactional relationship game that many of that age group actually do play. My 27yr old daughter tells me that what you see going on in Love Island does actually go on in the real life of quite some number - though not all play that game. It’s an eye-opener.

Exactly how I got into strickly. My family on my mum's side is myself, My sister and 2 girl cousins
All like strikly (including my wife) I found I would watch and enjoy it .. and it's an excuse to get together for a take away on the final night

It's trendy to turn your nose up at all reality TV without ever having watched it.

What’s actually “real” about any of it?

Yes I agree.
There are not many things I will watch that the Mrs watches.
