Amelia Dimoldenberg Aitch
After speculation over Aitch and Amelia Dimoldenberg’s relationship, it looks like the pair have decided to just be ‘friends’. Rumors that they were dating spread on social media earlier this year after the Buss Down rapper posted a series of TikTok videos showing him on a date with an unknown woman.
Many fans assumed he was with the creator of Chicken Shop Date, and they were correct. Despite the fact that the video appeared to confirm the couple’s relationship, the comments section was filled with doubts about their intentions.
Amelia Dimoldenberg Chicken Shop Date
Dimoldenberg’s humorous column “Chicken Shop Date” was first published in the Stowe Centre youth club on Harrow Road in London’s youth magazine “The Cut.” She started by interviewing “friends of friends” because she “wanted to know more about the music,” which was sparked by other members’ interest in grime. The idea for framing the interviews as dates came from Dimoldenberg, and the chicken shop was chosen as the setting because it was “somewhere you wouldn’t usually go on a date.”
The first filmed episode, which featured a “date” with grime MC Ghetts, was released in 2014. Sean Paul, Daniel Kaluuya, Dave, AJ Tracey, KSI, Chunkz, Yung Filly, Aitch, ArrDee, Jack Harlow, Finneas, Ed Sheeran, Bimini Bon Boulash, Maya Jama, Jade Thirlwall, Rosala, Louis Theroux, and Big Narstie have all appeared on the show since. Footballers such as Jesse Lingard, Bernardo Silva, Tammy Abraham, John Stones, Lucy Bronze, and Beth Mead have appeared on the show.
Each episode takes about 40 minutes to film; finished episodes last no more than seven minutes. Dimoldenberg has described her persona in the show as “an exaggerated version of myself” adding that “in the edit is where the character comes through, we chop and cut things, we make it more awkward”.
Despite being “not as popular” as American interview formats like Hot Ones, Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis, and Carpool Karaoke, Chicken Shop Date is “notable for the way in which it has grown through tapping into a specific subculture,” according to Jonah Engel Bromwich of The New York Times, who also notes that “[c]apturing an audience of music enthusiasts has given the show credibility.”
Amelia Dimoldenberg Career
The Evening Standard called it a “instant hit,” and The Telegraph called it “an entertaining ride […] slicked by moments of real hilarity.” In 2018, Dimoldenberg hosted the Channel 4 documentary Meet the Markles, in which she traveled to the United States to meet members of Meghan Markle’s family. The Metro’s JJ Nattrass acknowledged that “there were also plenty of viewers who genuinely enjoyed the satirical skew of the programme,” but claimed that “many viewers at home didn’t quite get what the show or its host were aiming for, and were left feeling confused.”
She made an appearance on The Big Narstie Show that same year alongside David Haye, Rachel Parris, Krept, and Konan. She made an appearance as a “roving reporter” in the first season of the hip-hop-themed comedy series Don’t Hate the Playaz on ITV2 in October 2018. The show was put forward for an Entertainment Royal Television Society Award. In the second season, which aired in the fall of 2019, Dimoldenberg did not make an appearance. She made an appearance on the Celebrity Come Dine with Me episode of Channel 4 in 2020 alongside Marcel Somerville, Dave Benson Phillips, Anthea Turner, and AJ Odudu.
Dimoldenberg made a guest appearance on Soccer AM in March 2021. It was revealed that Dimoldenberg would host a web series for Channel 4 called Celebrity Rebrand in December 2021. The six-episode first season was made available via the network’s social media platforms. In the comedy show, Dimoldenberg plays a “celebrity brand visionary” who works to help various Channel 4 stars revamp their public personas.
