Recipe for success - the Chicken Shop Date moments that created a YouTube star
After more than 10 years, Amelia Dimoldenberg announced Chicken Shop Date was shutting up shop
When someone says "we need to talk", it often means one thing - it's time to break up.
After Amelia Dimoldenberg announced on Thursday her hit YouTube series Chicken Shop Date would be turning off the fryers after one last series, some fans were begging for a second chance, while others agreed it was time to move on.
Over more than 10 years and 100 dates, Dimoldenberg's awkward flirting, deadpan silences and willingness to overshare has made her channel an unmissable stop for any celeb, single or not.
Before one last slurp on an orange soda, BBC Newsbeat looks back at some of the talk show's most iconic moments.
Daniel Kaluuya later went on to win an Oscar and was one of Dimoldenberg's breakthrough guests
Chicken Shop Date grew out of a youth club project and interviews Dimoldenberg conducted with south London grime artists as a teenager for The Cut.
She's spoken about how hard she had to work in the early days to persuade guests to come on the channel.
Nearly five years into her series, in 2020, she bagged her first big name outside the rap scene: Oscar-nominated actor Daniel Kaluuya.
During the date, Dimoldenberg admitted she would turn around when fans shouted "chicken" at her in the street.
