Maura Higgins and Danny Jones are at the centre of controversy after they were reportedly seen sharing a kiss at the BRITs – and the pair appeared to be getting close before the alleged smooch.
Maura Higgins and Danny Jones have found themselves in the eye of a storm following a an alleged kiss at the BRITs Universal Music after party. And prior to the ‘kiss’, Maura made a telling move towards the married McFly singer.
The Love Island star, 34, rested her head on Danny’s shoulder as they laughed and chatted at the party, hinting there might be more than friendship between them. The pair were spotted enjoying each other’s company at a table together, and spent a considerable amount of time at the bar. They were later filmed by The Sun as they seemingly sharing a tipsy smooch in a corner of the party. Danny has been married to model Georgia Horsley since 2014, and they share a seven year old son, Cooper.
Both Danny and Maura partied at 180 Studios on the Strand after the BRITs ceremony for the Universal Music after party, where celebs like Frank Lampard, Pete Wicks, Olivia Attwood and Lucien Laviscount were also letting loose. Maura managed to avoid an awkward encounter with ex Pete, who left the party early with friend Olivia.
However, Maura’s night was just getting started as she spent the evening chatting with I’m A Celeb co-stars Danny and Oti Mabuse at a booth table in the party. They were later caught on camera seemingly sharing a kiss, with a source telling The Sun that the pair appeared to have shared a ‘brief drunken kiss’, reports the Mirror.
It’s believed that they then moved on to Sony Music’s afterparty at the Nobu Hotel, where they were reportedly in high spirits. Neither Danny nor Maura have commented on the incident, with Maura’s team declining to comment when approached.
Danny’s wife, Georgia, has also remained silent about her husband’s alleged behaviour. However, she did appear on her Mum’s The Word podcast on Monday to discuss their son, Cooper. Alongside co-host Kelsey Parker, the two friends emphasised the importance of living in the moment and cherishing time spent with their children. Georgia kept the conversation solely on her and Danny’s son, Cooper, without mentioning her husband at any point.
She discussed motherhood, their recent move, and even shared their trip to Australia to visit Danny during his stint in the I’m A Celebrity jungle without explicitly saying his name.
Previously, Georgia openly spoken about the secret to their marriage, noting time apart as a good way to keep the spark alive. She told OK! “Something that’s really important for a successful marriage is time apart, it keeps the relationship fresh. We’ve always said that – as long as we’ve been together, we’ve always enjoyed our separate times because when we’ve reunited it’s even nicer.
“Communication is key, as well. It’s something we had to relearn after having a baby – it’s just constant resentment at the other partner for not doing enough, even though they are. But in the end it all comes together if you keep talking to each other.”
