Meet Amelia Dimoldenberg, who’s ‘dated’ Ed Sheeran and Cher: thanks to Chicken Shop Date, Drake slid into her DMs, the internet ships her with Andrew Garfield … and she’s a red-carpet correspondent
STORYSarah Keenlyside
- Through her YouTube show Chicken Shop Date, 30-year-old Amelia Dimoldenberg has deadpanned her way through ‘dates’ with everyone from The Jonas Brothers and Jack Harlow to JLaw and Ed Sheeran
- The show inadvertently gave rise to a viral song that had Snoop Dogg and Blackpink dancing on TikTok, and is so popular she’s even caught Drake’s attention – but who is she dating IRL?
He may play a superhero and be one of Hollywood’s hottest actors, but Andrew Garfield was reduced to a blathering mess while trying to flirt with a relatively unknown 30-year-old from west London last year. And the internet went wild.
“The chemistry is off the charts,” wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter. “Erm, why aren’t they dating?” wrote another. Even Buzzfeed casually declared: “The hand grab. Him asking about her star sign. Andrew Garfield fancies Amelia.”
The Amelia in question happens to be Amelia Dimoldenberg, one of the UK’s fastest rising stars, whose deliberately awkward flirting on YouTube show Chicken Shop Date has won her millions of fans – and her most high-profile gig so far: Oscars red carpet correspondent.
