Noel Gallagher is the latest guest on Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date, with the episode released on Friday, 23 October 2026. He is the third guest in the show's final series, according to The Independent.

The episode is titled "noel gallagher | chicken shop date: the final series" and was created and written by Dimoldenberg, according to its YouTube listing. It is billed as one of her last dates in the chicken shop, the setting that gives the series its name.

Dimoldenberg had teased the guest days earlier. On 21 October she posted a clip on TikTok with the caption "stop crying your heart out, my next date is here <3."

The conversation covered a range of topics. Asked about a rumour that he performs without underwear, Gallagher dismissed it. "That's nonsense — I wear two pairs of underpants," he said, according to Pitchfork.

He also spoke warmly about Paul McCartney, whom he called one of those rare people who leave you feeling good about yourself after meeting them. Pitchfork reported that remark alongside his underwear answer. Gallagher also used a strong expletive when discussing vegetarians, which Pitchfork quoted in its coverage.

For viewers who follow Gallagher's work, the episode offers the kind of unscripted talk that rarely appears in a standard press interview. For everyone else, it is a 23 October release from a show that has reached its final series, with a guest who has been a major name in British rock for decades.

Anyone wanting the full conversation can find it on the show's YouTube channel, where the episode is now available.
