Chicken Shop Date has seen host Amelia Dimoldenberg flirting with some serious names over the last 10 years, from Billie Eilish to Keke Palmer, SZA to Cher. Her latest illustrious guest? Sir Paul McCartney.

Having recently closed out The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the music legend and Beatle is hitting the press circuit to promote his new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane. On Friday, he headed for the titular chicken shop, where Dimoldenberg asked him the tough questions.

Notably, McCartney's in the same seat where Dimoldenberg previously interviewed Paul Mescal, who's playing the Beatle in Sam Mendes' upcoming biopic.

McCartney's no stranger to buzzy British web series and podcasts, appearing on Jessie Ware's Table Manners, Marina Hyde and Richard Osman's The Rest Is Entertainment, and Tom Holland's The Rest Is History.
