Married McFly singer Danny Jones has been urged to speak out following his shock kiss with Maura Higgins at the BRIT Awards as he remains silent amid the scandal
Danny Jones has been urged to address his kiss with Maura Higgins as his scandal rumbles on.
The married McFly singer, 38, has been determined to keep his head down after being spotted kissing the Love Island star, 34, at a BRITs afterparty over a week ago. Yet another video has emerged of the pair enjoying a wild night of drinking at swanky Nobu Hotel in London until 6am.
Danny and his wife of 11 years, Georgia Horsley, are in crisis talks in a bid to save their marriage, while Maura flew out to LA in a bid to flee the drama. The I’m A Celebrity co-stars got cosy with each other at the Universal Music BRITS afterparty, as their kiss was caught on camera. His behaviour has been a “slap in the face for Georgia”, who chose to put her own career on the backseat to support their son Cooper, seven, and her married to Danny.
Maura and Danny were snapped smiling as they left the bash alongside their fellow former jungle campmate Oti Mabuse. It later emerged that married Danny and single Maura – who recently split from Strictly star Pete Wicks – had continued to party at exclusive London hotel Nobu until 6am, drinking wine together.
The pair have both received backlash for the smooch, yet a source has told the Mirror that Danny must be the one to speak out. They told us: “Everyone would understand why Danny and his wife have been quiet. They are likely working through various discussions from the first video that was released alone. With this second video, Danny needs to now speak out.”
They added: “Maura is getting a lot of the backlash, and Danny seems to be getting away with his actions as a husband who was supposed to have been in love with his wife for over a decade. Danny’s career should be halted at this point and he should be big enough to now speak out to everyone and explain what has happened and take some accountability.”
“This is unfair on his wife, who seems to have put the family and their marriage first. Who knows if another video will emerge, but being honest is now the only way that this has a chance of resolving itself.” While Danny headed Down Under to take part in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Georgia juggled a house move, solo parenting and work.
It ultimately became too much for the mum-of-one as she booked herself into a solo retreat in January to recuperate. Georgia’s appearance at The Baby Show at Excel London on Saturday was reportedly cancelled at the last minute as she didn’t attend her scheduled appearance with pal and co-star Kelsey Parker.
When he was in the jungle, Georgia broke down in tears saying her emotions had “come to a head”. “She’s been an incredible partner to him so this feels very unfair,” our source said. “But Georgia is a strong woman, she won’t let it ruin what they have.” In a recent episode of the Parenting Hell podcast, Danny joked to hosts Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe about going into the jungle. He quipped: “I left my wife to move house all by herself. I’m surprised she’s still with me, to be honest.”
