Danny Jones' ITV I'm A Celebrity co-star's brutal five-word response to Maura Higgins kiss

Melvin Odoom who appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! alongside Danny Jones and Maura Higgins appeared on Good Morning Britain and addressed their kiss

Danny Jones and Maura Higgins’ I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! co-star has spoken out on their drunken kiss. Melvin Odoom appeared on Good Morning Britain on Monday and revealed that the cast of the ITV jungle show are in a group WhatsApp chat with one another, which has been active in recent days.

It comes after reports Danny’s wife Georgia, who is said to he ‘humiliated’ by his behaviour, has moved out of the family home. The BRIT Awards kiss also appears to have caused strong feelings among Danny’s formerly close I’m A Celeb pals – with some of them choosing not to publicly wish him a happy birthday last week.

Following the furore, Radio 1 star Melvin appeared on GMB with the hosts not wasting time to ask him his verdict. When asked about Danny and Maura’s kiss after the BRIT Awards, Melvin said cooly: “It’s none of my business.” He revealed that everybody “got on” in the jungle and their WhatsApp had been used to wish Danny a happy birthday last week.

“The thing is, we’ve all got a WhatsApp group, we all got on in the jungle,” Melvin said, before adding: “The other day, it was Danny’s birthday, we all wished him a happy birthday. In regards to this story, it’s none of my business. That’s all I’m saying on it. I got on with everyone and they were all really lovely, I wish them all the best.”

“Definitely,” Melvin said when host Susanna Reid commented that she hopes Danny and his wife Georgia can work through the issues. But Melvin was left gobsmacked on the show as he stood in for Richard Arnold on the show. “First of all, you guys don’t hold back,” he said before adding: “Just straight in with the hard stories.”

Danny, 38, was all smiles as he and the 34-year-old Love Island star Maura attended the Universal Music party and were spotted locking lips with one another in direct view of other party goers. Sources at the time claimed the pair were “having a great time” and had struck up a close friendship after meeting in the Australian jungle.

EXCLUSIVE: Prince Harry ‘hunting for secluded Georgian house near King Charles at Highgrove’ Prince Harry hasn’t had a home in the UK since he was evicted from Frogmore Cottage but now the Duke of Sussex could be looking for a new house with Meghan Markle near to his family, a royal expert says Prince Harry has been house hunting near Highgrove after being evicted from Frogmore Cottage, a royal expert says NEWS ELECTION 2024 EUROS CELEBS TV SHOPPING ROYALS ByJessica GibbDeputy Showbiz EditorAyeesha WalshShowbiz & TV Reporter 13:33, 19 Jun 2024UPDATED15:59, 19 JUN 2024 | 112 | BOOKMARK Prince Harry has been hunting for a “secluded Georgian house” close to his father’s Highgrove estate, a royal expert has said. After several reports that King Charles III wants to spend more time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, speculation has been rife that the Duke Of Sussex has been house hunting in the UK. Now Royal author and expert Tom Quinn has said that Harry could be set to introduce a new UK base into his family’s life. But the move could be far more complex than hoped with Harry having to weigh up his options carefully. Talking exclusively to Mirror.co.uk Tom said: “Harry has spent a lot of time trying to work out what sort of UK base he might have. He has no experience of living in anything other than well protected houses that are also well away from the public, so he has a huge problem. Every house he looks at has drawbacks. ” For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US.

He continued: “Apart from the security risks Harry has become increasingly obsessed with his privacy and wants to be well away from prying eyes – that was the key reason he was so upset and angry when his father King Charles evicted him from Frogmore Cottage. “Frogmore is actually a substantial house deep in the grounds of the royal estate at Windsor – it’s also very secure and it would have been perfect. It never occurred to Harry that giving up being a working royal meant giving up the house, but then Harry has always been nothing if not naïve.” Prince Harry Highgrove is King Charles’ countryside escape ( Image: Getty Images) Quinn then said how Harry is hoping to replicate the kind of property his father has with Highgrove. He said: “With no chance of returning to any of the houses in the gift of his family, Harry has looked at buying the kind of secluded Georgian house in its own grounds that his father has at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.” However, Tom believes one major spanner in the works for Harry could be the cost of security in the UK, but the benefits for his children could outweigh that drawback. He said: “The fly in the ointment is the fact that Harry doesn’t want to pay for security and he is convinced that a great deal of security would be necessary even if the house was close to his father’s home. On the other hand, the idea of buying a house close to his father means he will be able to come to the UK for short periods with his children so they can have some kind of a relationship with their cousins and their grandfather.”

It was reported that they later headed to another after party and were said to be sat downing wine with one another until 6am before leaving the party together. Now, two weeks later, it’s claimed that Danny’s wife Georgia has “moved out” of their family home and told those closest to her that she won’t be a “pushover.”

“Danny and Georgia may still be married but they’re not together and she is working out what she wants to do,” a source told The Sun. They went on to add: “She has been hugely hurt and embarrassed by everything and told Danny she needed to get away. She has been staying with her friend Rose since Wednesday.

Last week, Danny issued a short but grovelling apology to his wife and family via his Instagram Stories. He said: “Hello everyone, sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me. I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.

“I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.” Sources close to the McFly star say he has been left “mortified” by the scandal.
