Chicken Shop Date began as a humorous column written by Dimoldenberg for the youth magazine The Cut, which was based at the Stowe Centre, a youth club on Harrow Road, London. It was other members’ interest in grime that led her to interview grime artists, as she “wanted to know more about the music”; she began by interviewing “friends of friends”. Dimoldenberg had the idea to frame the interviews as dates, and the location of a chicken shop was chosen as it was “somewhere you wouldn’t usually go on a date”. The first filmed episode was released in 2014 – it featured a “date” with the grime MC Ghetts. The show has since featured Sean Paul, Daniel Kaluuya, Dave, AJ Tracey and Big Narstie, among others.

In 2018 Dimoldenberg presented the Channel 4 documentary Meet the Markles, in which she travelled to the United States to meet members of Meghan Markle’s family; The Telegraph called it “an entertaining ride […] slicked by moments of real hilarity” and the Evening Standard described it as an “instant hit”. However, the Metro’s JJ Nattrass wrote that “many viewers at home didn’t quite get what the show or its host were aiming for, and were left feeling confused”, but conceded that “there were also plenty of viewers who genuinely enjoyed the satirical skew of the programme”.

The same year, she appeared in an episode of The Big Narstie Show alongside David Haye, Rachel Parris and Krept and Konan. In October 2018, she appeared in the first series of the ITV2 hip hop-themed comedy show Don’t Hate the Playaz as a “roving reporter”. The programme was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award in the Entertainment category. Dimoldenberg did not appear in the second series, which aired in autumn 2019. In 2020 she appeared on Channel 4’s Celebrity Come Dine With Me with Marcel Somerville, Dave Benson Phillips, Anthea Turner and AJ Odudu.
