Damson Idris didn't merely arrive for a casual date; he turned the Chicken Shop Date into one of its most riveting and buzzworthy installments. The British-Nigerian actor, still riding high from the conclusion of Snowfall and his high-energy role in the F1 film, unleashed his enchanting charm upon Amelia Dimoldenberg.
The latest Chicken Shop Date episode commenced in Amelia's signature style: dry humor, cringe-worthy puns, and a side of mouthwatering fried chicken. However, when F1 heartthrob Damson Idris sat opposite her, the ambiance swiftly transformed. Known for her impeccable composure and deadpan delivery, Amelia found herself unmistakably discomposed by his suave, smoldering charisma.
"It's hotter than Lucifer's toenails in this place," Idris quipped, alluding to the sweltering heat between them. When Dimoldenberg teased him about his attire—leather pants paired with a matching jacket—uttering, "Rule number one: Never wear leather pants on a date," Idris smoothly retorted, "Or perhaps it's you who's making me scorching hot."
But it was a particular viral moment that captured the imagination of the internet. When Dimoldenberg casually inquired if there was a character Idris yearned to portray, he leaned in closely, locking eyes with her, and whispered, "Your boyfriend." She was taken aback, the audience was mesmerized, and the internet couldn't cease raving about it. To add insult to injury, he gently grasped her hand and kissed it, leaving Amelia, who often held the upper hand, completely off balance.
The flirtatious banter persisted throughout the episode, with Dimoldenberg poking fun at Idris's F1 release by asking, "Driving at breakneck speeds, did you ever feel like a Damson in distress?" In response, he attempted to quiz her, "What would you rate this date out of ten?" But the host swiftly deflected, replying, "We're still in the thick of it," rendering him visibly anxious and on edge.
