That's really not the right way of looking at it, they're getting an extra day's filming out of a set and production team that's already cost the channel millions of pounds. Paying celebs a few thousand quid is a drop in the ocean compared to the wider picture. Celeb specials ultimately make a series far more cost efficient.
Viewers do watch and they do like them, regardless of a few moans on the internet.
