I’m A Celeb’s Danny Jones explains why wife ‘left home for a few days’ after jungle stint

McFly singer Danny Jones, who was recently spotted kissing Maura Higgins at a BRIT Awards afterparty, previously praised his wife for all her hard work while he was on I’m A Celeb

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Danny Jones revealed his wife left their home for a couple of days after he returned from the Australian jungle.

Last year, the McFly singer took part in the reality programme – and won – alongside Oti Mabuse, Coleen Rooney, and Maura Higgins – who he was recently spotted kissing at a BRIT Awards afterparty. During his weeks away in the jungle, Danny’s family were in the midst of a house move and his wife Georgia was left to pack up and move house all on her own.

In a podcast episode released a day before his kiss with Maura, Danny said his wife had a tough time at the beginning of the year. Speaking on the Parenting Hell podcast with Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, he opened up about how his I’m A Celeb stint affected his decade-long marriage.

Georgia, with who he shares seven-year-old Cooper, was busy moving house while Danny was in Australia and the singer admitted he was ‘surprised she was still with him’. He revealed on the podcast: “When I got back, my wife was like, ‘I just think I need to go away to a hut myself for a few days’.”

“I said ‘just go and take yourself away. And have a few days”‘ She was overwhelmed. It got too much for her. And I could see it. I was like ‘you need to just need to go’.” He said later in the podcast that her solo house move was ‘absolute God tier’ and called his wife “amazing at making life less complicated”.

Georgia previously opened up about her exhaustion on Mum’s The Word. She said: “I was like, do you know what? F*** it. I’m going to do it. I need to be on my own. I need silence. I can’t hear – I can’t hear people needing me anymore. I can’t. I can’t do it.

She also revealed on her social media page that a month of solo parenting, solo house moving and working on her career was ‘a lot’ for her to handle when Danny was in the jungle with ‘snakes in his pants’. She decided to book a woodland retreat and shared updates with fans.

While in a cabin in Shropshire, she caught on reading time, taking nature and just enjoyed time to herself. Georgia said: “I was going into this New Year burnt out. Everything I didn’t want to feel entering 2025… I felt. So whilst I was still in Australia I decided I needed to do something for me… a solo trip, one to push me out of my comfort zone but also one to give me the break I craved.”
