Chicken Shop Date Ending After More Than 10 Years
Amelia Dimoldenberg has announced that her hit interview series Chicken Shop Date will come to an end after more than 10 years. The presenter shared the news with fans on Instagram and said the show is entering its final chapter. Dimoldenberg said the series has been one of the biggest parts of her life and career. While she never expected to stop making it, she now feels it is the right time to move on to a new project. The creator told fans that a few final episodes will still be released before the series officially ends. She thanked viewers for supporting the show and said she is grateful for everyone who has enjoyed the interviews over the years. Chicken Shop Date became one of the UK's most popular online interview series. The show is known for its unique format, where Dimoldenberg interviews musicians, actors, athletes, and other celebrities while sharing a meal at a local chicken shop. Her awkward humor, unexpected questions, and long pauses became the show's signature style. Over the years, the series grew from a small online project into a global entertainment brand. It attracted some of the world's biggest stars and built a loyal audience across social media and video platforms. In her announcement, Dimoldenberg described the show as her own romantic comedy. She said she loved creating so many memorable moments and stories through the interviews. She added that the show will always be a part of her, even after it ends. Her decision surprised many fans because she had recently said she planned to continue the series until she met her "one true love." That comment led many people to believe the show would continue for years. Recent guests on Chicken Shop Date include Paul McCartney, Zara Larsson, and Conan O'Brien. The series has also featured many well-known actors, rappers, comedians, and internet personalities. One guest fans have wanted to see for years is Canadian rapper Drake. Dimoldenberg has often described him as her dream interview guest. After the announcement, many viewers began wondering if Drake could appear in one of the final episodes. The announcement quickly received thousands of messages from fans and celebrities. Many praised Dimoldenberg for ending the series while it remained successful and influential. Radio presenter Jamie Laing called her the greatest, while author Elizabeth Day said knowing when to end the show at its peak was a powerful career move. Rapper Tinie Tempah also congratulated Dimoldenberg for the success of the series. Chicken Shop Date began in 2014 as part of a youth club magazine project called The Cut. Dimoldenberg first interviewed grime artists for the publication before turning the idea into a video series. She has often spoken about how the youth programme helped shape her career by giving her opportunities, mentoring, and industry connections at a young age. Building the show was not easy. Dimoldenberg has said many people now think her success happened quickly, but it took years of work to grow the series. In its early days, she had to convince publicists, managers, and celebrities to appear on the show. At that time, social media was not widely used as a place for stars to promote albums, films, or other projects. As online platforms grew, Chicken Shop Date became one of the most recognizable celebrity interview formats in the UK. Beyond the series, Dimoldenberg has supported training programmes and apprenticeships that help young people build careers in creative industries and media. Although Chicken Shop Date is ending, Dimoldenberg said she is ready for a new adventure. Fans can still expect several final interviews before she officially closes the doors on the series that helped make her one of the UK's best-known content creators.
