Maura Higgins has broken her cover after kissing I’m A Celebrity….Get Me Out of Here! co-star Danny Jones at a BRIT Awards afterparty.

McFly singer Danny, 38, and former Love Island star Maura, 34 – who were in the jungle together last year – both attended the awards ceremony at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night. The pair were later spotted leaving at an after-party together. Danny and Maura were joined at the same party by the likes of Sam Thompson, Pete Wicks, Olivia Attwood, Calum Scott and Oti Mabuse.

While Danny attended the awards at the O2 Arena with his McFly bandmate Tom Fletcher, he was the only member of his band in attendance at the glitzy afterparty, where he and Maura appeared to get very close.

While at the Universal Music afterparty, it’s claimed that Danny and Maura shared a “drunken kiss” at 180 Studios on the Strand. Footage shared by the Sun appears to show Danny, who has been married to his wife Georgia Horsley since 2014, kissing Maura on the lips as they stood talking to one another. A source told the outlet that they “seemed to be having a great time,” adding: “They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss.”

Maura has now broken her cover for the first time since the controversial kiss. The former Love Island star was spotted waiting for a taxi at her apartment complex as she continues to keep a low profile after kissing Danny at the BRIT Awards after party. Maura kept things casual in a pair of comfortable black pants and a leather jacket. She appeared to attempt to hide her identity as she wore a matching black cap. The reality TV star went makeup free for her latest outing.

It comes after a source at the afterparty said that they “seem to have a close friendship” after meeting on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity last year – which Danny won – and were “talking and laughing for ages”. It’s been reported that they spent 90 minutes together at the event as other guests partied around them.

The insider told the publication that shortly before 3am this morning, Danny and Maura walked into the foyer of the venue together, where their alleged kiss was filmed. The pair are said to have then grinned as they were photographed leaving alongside former I’m A Celebrity co-star, Oti.

The source that Danny and Maura were laughing together at Sony Music’s afterparty at Nobu Hotel an hour later. The former campmates were said to be “still grinning” and “joking about” at the second afterparty.

McFly star Danny has been married to his wife Georgia, with whom he shares his seven-year-old son Cooper, since 2014. Maura had recently been romantically linked to Pete but it was reported last month that they had parted ways after agreeing that they are better off as friends. However, ex-lovers Maura and Pete are said to have avoided bumping into each other on the BRIT Awards red carpet, at the ceremony, and at the afterparty too.

Danny’s wife Georgia broken her silence on Monday after the McFly star was seen kissing Maura. The mum-of-one dropped the latest episode of her parenting podcast on Monday just hours after it was reported that Danny shared a kiss with his fellow I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! campmate.

Speaking on her podcast Mum’s The Word with Kelsey Parker on Monday morning, the two friends reflected on the importance of living in the moment and making the most of time spent with their children. Georgia kept the discussion focused entirely on her and Danny’s six-year-old son, Cooper, without referencing her husband at any point. She spoke about motherhood, their recent move, and even recounted their trip to Australia to visit Danny during his time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle without explicitly mentioning his name.

The Mirror has approached both Danny and Maura’s representatives for comment on this story.
