Damson Idris didn’t just show up for a date — he made the Chicken Shop Date one of its most talked-about episodes. The British-Nigerian actor, fresh off the finale of Snowfall and his high-octane role in the F1 film, turned up the charm on Amelia Dimoldenberg.
Damson Idris and Amelia Dimoldenberg’s flirty encounter goes viral on social media
The new Chicken Shop Date episode kicks off in classic Amelia fashion, which is dry humor, awkward puns, and a side of fried chicken. But when F1 star Damson Idris sat across from her, it didn’t take long for the energy to shift. Usually known for her unflappable deadpan delivery, Amelia found herself visibly flustered by his smooth, slow-burn charisma.
“It’s hotter than Satan’s toenails in here,” Idris joked, referring to the heat during their exchange. When Dimoldenberg called him out for his outfit choice, leather pants and a matching jacket, saying, “Rule number one: ‘Don’t wear leather pants to a date,” Idris responded smoothly, “Or maybe you’re the one making me hot.”
But it was one viral moment that really took the internet by storm. When Dimoldenberg casually asked if there was a character Idris would love to play, he leaned in, locked eyes, and said, “Your boyfriend.” She was stunned, the audience was stunned, and the internet couldn’t stop talking about it. To top it off, he gently grabbed her hand and kissed it, leaving Amelia, who usually has the upper hand, completely thrown off.
The flirtation continued throughout the episode, with Dimoldenberg poking fun at Idris’s F1 release by asking, “Driving super fast, did you ever feel like a Damson in distress?” In response, he attempted to ask her, “What would you rate this date out of 10?” But the host quickly turned the moment around, replying, “We’re still on it,” making him visibly nervous.
