The English journalist admitted that Champagne Papi is the guest she's most hoping to have on her internet show one day.

Over the weekend, Drake made headlines as he was caught double-tapping and commenting on a bikini selfie from Amelia Dimoldenberg. Rather than sparking speculation about a romance between the journalist and rapper, the not-so-subtle interaction caused fans to fill with excitement over the potential of him appearing on her Chicken Shop Date series. In the past, Dimoldenberg has interviewed the likes of Central Cee, Jack Harlow, and countless others, but Drizzy is at the very top of her dream guest list. Now that he's publicly showing love to the media personality, it's safe to assume something is in the works between them.

Following that, a video appeared on the official @chickenshopdate TikTok account, with Dimoldenberg speaking with two friends about the time Drake slid in her DMs. "He's like my number one person to get on the show," she confesses in the clip. "It was maybe gonna happen... So I was at my birthday party, and then I was looking through my phone. All of a sudden, I see like, @champagnepapi." The birthday girl was left in total shock by the message request from the 36-year-old, who thought it was a fake account at first.

The message apparently read, "Chicken Shop Date in Harrods?" In response, Dimoldenberg casually wrote back, "Let me check my schedule." Drake got back to her "straight away," sending over some laughing emojis. "Then we were like, messaging over the course of the week," the blonde entertainer told her friends. "Organizing the date, I had planned a shop and went to see [it]. Got a producer, we organized security," she recalled, stressing the amount of planning that goes into executing each one of her episodes.

When asked if she became more at ease while her conversation with Drake flowed, the 29-year-old admitted that she spent time calculating each one of her messages. "I was also like, saying way too many puns and jokes, which is really bad," she sheepishly added. "I think I ended the message with like, 'I hope to see you soon. God's Plan.' It was just so bad. And then he messaged me saying, 'Oh, I'm really sorry, but I'm not coming to London anymore.'" Would you like to see Amelia Dimoldenberg and Drizzy together on Chicken Shop Date?
