McFly singer Danny Jones has made his TV return for the first time since his controversial kiss with Love Island’s Maura Higgins as he reunites with his I’m A Celebrity co-star
Danny Jones has made a comeback to TV
Danny Jones is set to make his TV comeback alongside his I’m A Celebrity co-star after lying low following his kiss with Maura Higgins. The married McFly singer, 39, shocked fans when he was filmed kissing the Love Island star, 34, at a BRIT Awards afterparty.
He decided to take a step away from the spotlight amid the scandal, as he later went on to issue a grovelling apology to his wife Georgia Horsley and their seven-year-old son Cooper. Georgia had even taken time away from their family home as they worked out how to move forward.
Danny has since made a return to work, having already performed on stage with McFly again. The Voice judge is also making his return to TV and he landed a brand new gig.

He will appear on the latest series of ITV’s You Bet!, which made its comeback last year with Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby as hosts. The former This Morning presenter will not be returning for the second series, yet Stephen will be back with celebrity friends on hand.

One of those will be Danny, who has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the show. He posted a clip alongside Greg Rutherford and his I’m A Celebrity campmate Oti Mabuse.
The trio filmed at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as they saw brave contestants take on one of the biggest rides. Danny appeared happy to be back at work in the clip as he appears to want to put his drama behind him.
Last week, Danny shared another update as he performed alongside his McFly bandmates. Alongside photos of him psyching up the huge crowds in Wales, Danny wrote: “Back with my people. Thank you Swansea.”
Danny has been laying low over the past couple of months following his controversial kiss with Maura, 34. Footage showed Danny and Maura locking lips at the Universal Music afterparty on Saturday, March 1, following the glitz of the BRIT Awards.
Eyewitnesses saw Danny land a swift kiss on Maura before going in for a more passionate kiss. Later in the evening, it was claimed Danny and Maura took their bubbling chemistry to the swanky Nobu Hotel in Central London, where they supposedly indulged in wine until the break of dawn, eventually departing around 6am.

While speculation has been rife about the state of his marriage to Georgia, sources have told how Danny and Georgia are very much still together and working through the drama.
“They are clearly looking to put things behind them, and move on with their lives. It really hasn’t been a good time at all but they are very much together,” a source told the Mirror.
Though he’s posted about the issue on social media, neither Danny nor Maura have explicitly delved into the details surrounding the incident.
However, in March, via an Instagram post, Danny issued an apology directed at his wife and his family, vowing to manage the matter away from the public eye.
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.”
