Host of 'best show on YouTube' in talks for standalone series with streaming giant
The London-born comedian is reportedly in talks to star in a new Apple TV series Chicken Shop Date host Amelia Dimoldenberg is reportedly in talks to lead a standalone Apple TV series. The 31-year-old comedian shot to fame with her hit YouTube show 10 years ago, and has since interviewed A-listers including Idris Elba, Ben Stiller, Sabrina Carpenter and Andrew Garfield. Amelia has amassed 3.17 million subscribers on YouTube with the web series, which fans claim is "the best show on YouTube." It simply features stripped-back celebrity interviews conducted in Morley's chicken shops across London. And it appears Apple TV wants a slice of Amelia's viewership. A source revealed to The Sun's TV column: "Apple knows it will have a ready-made audience for her show, which is expected to drop on the streamer later this year or early 2026. "Amelia also has a long list of famous fans who've been clamouring to get interviewed by her. "It's not clear yet exactly what format any new Apple show would take, but it's guaranteed to continue in a similar vein to her previous work which sees her casually and naturally meeting with some of the world's most famous people." The insider added: "It was only a matter of time before one of the streamers came along and harnessed her huge social media influence." The YouTuber's Chicken Shop Date with Andrew Garfield generated significant social media buzz, earning a staggering 11 million views. Fans were struck by the pair's chemistry and flirtatious banter, leading to speculation that they were dating. However, Amelia later clarified they are just friends. The social media star's fame has far exceeded YouTube, as she is often seen interviewing movie stars on red carpets, including the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars. Amelia has also appeared on Channel 4's Taskmaster's New Year's Treat, alongside Carol Vorderman, Greg James and Sir Mo Farah. She has also taken part in Celebrity Come Dine With Me and The Great Stand Up to Cancer Bake Off, where she put her baking skills to the test against presenter Sarah Beeny, actress Maxine Peake and that week's Star Baker, Roman Kemp. The London-born comic has also gone TikTok viral with an interview featuring Chelsea star Cole Palmer.

British comedian is 'set to land huge deal with Apple to make first standalone TV show' after YouTube success with A-lister pals
Amelia Dimoldenberg is reportedly in talks to land a huge deal with Apple to make her first standalone TV show after Chicken Shop Date success. The star, 30, launched her YouTube series over a decade ago and has interviewed a number of huge stars including Jennifer Lawrence, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Jonas Brothers, Lando Norris, Cher, Andrew Garfield and many more. Amelia, who has 3.17million subscribers to her YouTube channel, 4million followers on TikTok and 2.7million on Instagram, is known for her sarcastic, deadpan, and awkward sense of humour while interviewing stars. During the new show, the comedian will reportedly bring a number of stars on and chat with them in a similar format that she already does. A TV inside has told The Sun that it was only time before a streamer picked-up Amelia as she continues to have success hosting her show. The source said: 'Apple knows it will have a ready-made audience for her show, which is expected to drop on the streamer later this year or early 2026. 'Amelia also has a long list of famous fans who've been clamouring to get interviewed by her. 'It's not clear yet exactly what format any new Apple show would take, but it's guaranteed to continue in a similar vein to her previous work which sees her casually and naturally meeting with some of the world's most famous people. 'It was only a matter of time before one of the streamers came along and harnessed her huge social media influence.' Amelia is one of the best connected celebrities in the country after also securing 'dates' with Jonathan Bailey, Paul Mescal, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. MailOnline have contacted Amelia and Apple's representatives for comment. It comes after Amelia addressed Andrew Garfield romance rumours following their 'off the charts' chemistry at the Golden Globes. The presenter and actor, 39, went viral in January last year a fter a clip of them outrageously flirting went viral on social media. And now she has opened up on their relationship and confessed to The Sunday Times Style Magazine that she thinks he is 'great'. She told the publication: 'We're friends. I saw him at the Oscars and he's a great guy, a great person. We've got such a great dynamic.' While there seemed to be no chemistry between them Amelia did reveal that her former show guest Matty Healy, the lead singer of the 1975, 'wanted to kiss her'. Amelia gave her fans what they wanted in October 2024 after she announced she was going on a Chicken Shop date with Andrew. She announced the exciting news to her two million Instagram followers at the time, alongside a picture of Andrew gazing over at her as she bit into a chicken nugget. The star wrote in her caption: 'The one you've been waiting for… My date with Andrew Garfield is out next Friday :)' Fans have been begging for this collaboration since the viral Golden Globes interview, where the journalist, who is known for fronting the popular YouTube series, told the Spider-Man star: 'We must stop meeting like this.' Andrew, who previously dated Emma Stone, replied: 'I only ever want to see you'... before Amelia interrupted 'What?' 'I didn't finish my sentence', Andrew said. 'I only ever want to see you in these kinds of situations.' Amelia cheekily said she would want to see him in other situations as she invited him to her birthday party on 30th January. He enquired about Amelia's star sign, to which she said she's an Aquarius and the actor replied: 'If you have a sun sign that's the same as the moon sign of someone else, it's good.' Asked why it would be an issue, he said: 'I don't think we should explore this.' Amelia replied she 'wasn't even asking you to' before saying 'you're obsessed with me'. The actor told her: 'That's what I'm saying. I'm scared what it could turn into and I'm not ready for that,' before she quipped back: 'Oh ok, well I am.'

Blackpink's Jennie admits she is hopeless romantic, says ‘fate disappointed me'; opens up about her ideal type
BLACKPINK's Jennie recently sat down for a fun chat with YouTuber Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date and made some exciting confessions about her take on love, life, and her ideal type. The South Korean rapper has often been linked to fellow K-pop stars over the years. While Jennie herself has always stayed tight-lipped about her dating life, this time she did admit that she considers herself a very romantic person and is usually the one to take the first step. The Ruby singer also confessed that she's a big believer in love at first sight. Also read: BTS' RM and Jungkook admit Kim Taehyung has changed: 'We can't keep up anymore, he's stronger' During the 10 minute quick chat, the singer was asked if she's a romantic person, to which she replied, 'I consider myself to be very romantic.' When asked in what way, she added, 'I like to surprise my date.' On what could be the best compliment she'd give someone, Jennie said she doesn't like people easily, so when she does, she tells them that, according to her, could be taken as a compliment. Jennie was also quizzed on how often she gets a love hangover, and she playfully said, 'Maybe every other weekend.' She admitted she's not a fan of those hangovers, but she can't really avoid them either. Also read: 'BLACKPINK's new track is so bad, it's hilarious': Fans slam 'JUMP' as a 'B-class' song In South Korea, idol culture often keeps stars from being too open about their dating life, but fans were glad Jennie was so candid. Later in the chat, when Amelia asked if she believes in fate, Jennie said, 'I do,' but followed it up with, 'Fate has disappointed me.' She added it's less now, and she's back to deciding her own fate. When asked if having a crush excites her, Jennie said, 'I haven't been on a date in a very long time, so this is exhilarating.' As for her ideal type, she shared, 'I don't like cute guys. Sexy guys don't know they're sexy, but cute guys know they're cute.' And when asked if she'd date someone with no rhythm, Jennie replied, 'Rhythm is so important. It's everything. I don't want to date someone who's so stiff.' Jennie's dating life has always been a hot topic. The singer was first reported to be dating EXO's Kai during her debut era. They publicly dated from October 2018 to January 2019, with SM Entertainment confirming the relationship at the time. Old clips still resurface online showing the two stealing glances at public events. When the Chicken Shop Date host asked Jennie if she believes in love at first sight, Jennie replied, 'That's been my life,' adding, 'I know instantly whether it's gonna work or not.' Fans felt she might've been hinting at one of those times where her romance fizzled before turning into a fairytale ending. She was also linked to BIGBANG's G-Dragon. More recently, she's been rumoured to be dating BTS' Kim Taehyung, aka V. Fans have pieced together clues, but neither side has ever confirmed anything. Reports say they parted ways in 2024 before V enlisted for military service. On the work front, she's back with her fellow BLACKPINK members Lisa, Rosé, and Jisoo. The group, still under YG, kicked off their Deadline World Tour earlier this month.

Meet The Under-The-Radar Summer Capsule That's About To Go Viral, Very Soon
Nothing in life is certain, except as they say, death and taxes; and well, the internet's obsession with Amelia Dimoldenberg's new flirtationship of the week. From Andrew Garfield and Damson Idris to Bella Hadid, the chicken nugget-fanatic has charmed all our faves (and us) with her personal brand of awkward deadpan one-liners. Naturally, her show Chicken Shop Date is a highly discussed monthly event here in the Grazia offices. However, it's not just her resting bitch face and chemistry with her famous co-stars that have us hooked; it's her impressive fashion choices. From custom Chopova Lowena and full Miu Miu looks on the red carpet to repping cool girl-faves including Coperni and Shushu Tong on her dates, Dimoldenberg's style is ridiculously good. So it was hardly a surprise when she announced her collaboration with Y2K-inspired label Peachy Den. London-based Peachy Den is something of a cult legend in fashion circles, having amassed an A-list fan following including Olivia Dean, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, Raye, and Mia Regan (who just released a covetable collab with H&M). You might have seen the brand's gingham co-ord set on every stylish Londoner (and her friend) last summer. It stands to reason, then, that the Peachy Den x Amelia Dimoldenberg collection can expect a similar response. Launching today, 17th July 2025, this new 10-piece capsule was first teased in Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date With Bella Hadid, where she wore a slogan tee cheekily emblazoned with the phrase 'Flirty'. Another piece from the capsule also made its way to her date with Addison Rae: a sparkly metallic knitted top that could easily fit in at a club in the Noughties. Standing right where Peachy Den's sculptural designs meet Dimoldenberg's tongue-in-cheek personality, the collection features a carousel of pieces that feel as nostalgic as they are trendy. Think halter-neck tops, bandeau dresses and even a mini skort. Rounding out the playful collection is, obviously, the famous slogan tee which, as expected, is already out of stock. Peachy Den's smocked Deba set was so popular that it became an instant bestseller for the brand, selling out faster than most shoppers would have liked. Now, with the fashion set already excited for the brand's Amelia Dimoldenberg collab and the Flirt Tee selling out at record speed, we'd wager a guess that the rest of the collection will be flying off the online shelves before the weekend. So why not save yourself the regret and stock up on your It girl summer wardrobe while stocks last below.
