Danny Jones, the 38-year-old McFly singer, is currently at the center of a media storm following a drunken kiss with Maura Higgins, his 34-year-old I’m A Celebrity co-star, at the BRIT Awards after-party last week. The incident has sent shockwaves through his marriage to Georgia Horsley, his wife of over a decade, with reports suggesting that Georgia has issued Danny an ultimatum during crisis talks. The couple, who share a seven-year-old son, Cooper, are allegedly fighting to save their marriage as fears grow that a third video of the night could emerge, further complicating the situation.
The scandal began when Danny and Maura were filmed sharing a drunken peck at Universal Music’s party at 180 House. However, things escalated when a second video surfaced, showing the pair drinking wine together until 6am at a Sony party at Nobu Hotel in Marylebone. Witnesses claim that the two, who became friends during their time on I’m A Celebrity, seemed to be enjoying themselves, laughing and chatting intimately as they continued their night. While both Danny and Maura have reportedly insisted that the kiss was "innocent" and "meaningless," the incident has been described as a "slap in the face" for Georgia, who is said to be "mortified" and "humiliated."
According to sources close to the couple, Georgia has been left feeling betrayed and is now reevaluating her marriage. A source told The Mirror that Georgia, who has been a steadfast and supportive partner to Danny throughout his career, is "a strong woman" but feels unfairly treated by the situation. The same source emphasized that Danny needs to take accountability and address the situation publicly, not just to save his marriage but also to protect his career. "His career should be halted at this point, and he should be big enough to now speak out," the source said, adding that honesty is the only way to resolve the situation.
Meanwhile, Maura Higgins has broken her social media silence since the incident, posting an Instagram story from a first-class plane seat en route to Los Angeles for a work trip. Captioning the post "Exciting shoot," Maura seemed to be escaping the drama surrounding her and Danny. The two had reportedly stayed in touch since their time on I’m A Celebrity, and Danny had even liked one of Maura’s Instagram posts earlier this year, which showed her posing in a black bra and leopard print dress. While neither Danny nor Georgia has publicly commented on the incident, Georgia canceled a planned appearance at The Baby Show in London, with insiders revealing that she is "mortified" and unable to face the public eye right now.
The situation has also sparked concerns about the potential release of a third video, which could further damage Danny and Georgia’s marriage. A source revealed that the couple is "working through various discussions" and that the release of the second video has put additional pressure on Danny to address the situation. The public and the media are eagerly awaiting a statement from Danny, with many calling for him to take responsibility for his actions. His representatives, along with those of Georgia and Maura, have been contacted for comment but have yet to respond.
As the situation continues to unfold, fans and followers of Danny and Maura are left wondering how this will affect their personal and professional lives. While the incident may have been a moment of poor judgment, it has sparked a much larger conversation about accountability, marriage, and the consequences of public behavior. For now, Danny and Georgia’s marriage remains in jeopardy, and only time will tell if their relationship can withstand the fallout of this scandal.
