Ed Sheeran Roasted by ‘Chicken Shop Date’ Host Amelia Dimoldenberg on ‘SNL UK’: Watch
The British comedian poked fun at Sheeran’s Loop Tour controversy in her opening monologue.
On the Sept. 26 episode of SNL UK's spinoff Chicken Shop Date, host Amelia Dimoldenberg roasted Ed Sheeran amid controversy surrounding his Loop Tour. The English comedian sat down with Sheeran for an awkward, deadpan date at a chicken shop. Dimoldenberg, known for interviewing celebrities like Idris Elba and Cher, joked about Sheeran's recent appearance on her show in November 2021, where he was seen sitting on the fence.
This came as the Loop Tour faced backlash after Macklemore was removed from the U.S. leg following his "Free Palestine" remarks during his opening set in early September. Sheeran subsequently performed two shows in Philadelphia without opening acts, emphasizing unity and humanity. Macklemore has since announced his own Free Palestine Tour, with shows in Dublin, Paris, and London.
