Here’s what you need to know about the rising internet personality you’ll definitely be hearing a lot more about.

Amelia Dimoldenberg is famous for her YouTube show Chicken Shop Date
Originally a column in a youth club magazine where Dimoldenberg interviewed local London rappers, Chicken Shop Date pivoted to YouTube in 2014, filming herself on faux dates in the city’s iconic late-night fried chicken eateries.
“It’s about choosing guests … I really respect their music, what they stand for, and I think other people should know about [them],” she told Sean Evans on First We Feast.

She’s been on ‘dates’ with the world’s biggest stars
Her deadpan flirting and offbeat questioning often draws unexpectedly honest responses, creating viral content almost effortlessly – from Central Cee introspectively admitting he thinks love is a “delusion”, to Sean Paul confessing he didn’t get the grades to become an architect. As a result, these days her list of dates is long.
Episodes with Jack Harlow, Paul Mescal and Ed Sheeran were fan favourites, she sat down with all three of the Jonas Brothers, and she even managed to make Cher and Jennifer Lawrence guffaw with laughter.She accidentally created the biggest internet song of 2022
When she invited fellow British interviewer Louis Theroux onto her show in 2022 and casually asked him if he could remember any of the raps he’d written for a documentary he’d made, his impromptu reciting of it (“my money don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds”) was quickly made into a song.
The sample became a viral TikTok dance trend and it wasn’t long before everyone from Snoop Dogg to Blackpink had jumped on the bandwagon. The CSD episode has now been viewed over 12 million times.Jacob Elordi’s supportive Aussie family – from his parents to his 3 sisters
Drake asked to meet her, but she said no
Her charms – or at least celebrity pulling power – haven’t been lost on Drake, who reportedly slid into her DMs in 2022 to ask her for a Chicken Shop Date. However, the two just can’t seem to make their schedules work. According to GQ, he even asked her to fly to Sweden to film the episode, but she turned it down, saying it had to be in London because “it’s what the fans want”.
Is Amelia Dimoldenberg single?
Of course, one big question remains about the woman who dates celebrities for a living – is she dating anyone IRL? One of her Chicken Shop Dates did in fact turn into a real relationship, with babyfaced British rapper Aitch, but appeared to be over not long after they went public in 2022. If fans had their way, of course, Garfield would be next on the list, but for now, she appears to remain single.
