Glasgow's Blue Lagoon hosts Lewis Capaldi for hilarious Chicken Shop Date interview

Lewis Capaldi has gone on a date in a classic Glasgow chip shop - and it's already been watched by nearly half a million people.

The singer-songwriter made an appearance on the popular YouTube Chicken Shop Date series, hosted by Amelia Dimoldenberg, joking she had gone '"from the Oscars to Glasgow".

The series sees Amelia, who also created the programme, ask her famous guests questions as they eat in a fried chicken on their 'date' with an awkward and deadpan comedy style.

But this time, it was a date with a difference as Amelia travelled up to Glasgow for a date with Lewis in the Blue Lagoon on Gordon Street.

And it didn't disappoint, with fans treated to a date that involved Irn Bru, deep fried Mars Bars and more discussion about poo than has probably ever occurred on a first date.

Some of the tidbits viewers got to enjoy included confirmation that the singer-songwriter, who is known for his heart-wrenching ballads, does consider himself to be a romantic person, and said he has been known to be "a bit full on".

He also said he has had "loads of little" heartbreaks rather than one big one and admitted to having "a love-hate relationship with love".

Meanwhile, Amelia tried a deep fried Mars Bar for the very first time, and Lewis informed her he'd never had a normal Mars Bars - "only deep fried"

And despite ending up with melted, battered chocolate all over their teeth, Lewis insisted Amelia was "a vision of beauty" with Amelia returning the compliment, telling Lewis he "looked really good too...perfect actually".

Amelia shared her enthusiasm about the date on her YouTube video, saying: "Hello everyone! I was so so excited to travel to Glasgow for a date with Lewis in because I really thought we would be a great match and....I WAS CORRECT. I also really enjoyed my first deep fried mars bar but i think I'll stick to the chicken nuggets for now...too messy. see you on my next date...or should i say speed date....xxxx love you all.
