The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Amelia Dimoldenberg, the creator of the YouTube series Chicken Shop Date, has announced that the show is coming to an end. In an Instagram post, she said it was time to move on to a new adventure. The series, which began when she was 17, has run for more than a decade and featured interviews with celebrities over fried chicken.
Dimoldenberg became one of the UK's best-known content creators, with more than a billion views. Her deadpan style and awkward flirting made her interviews go viral, including a memorable encounter with Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield. She has spoken to stars from Sir Paul McCartney to Billie Eilish.
The announcement comes after she insisted earlier this summer that she had no plans to end the series. She had said she needed to carry on until she met her one true love. Fans now wonder whether she has secured her dream guest, Drake, for one of the final episodes. She has not said what she will do next, but has promised a few final dates before closing up shop for good.
