I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here star Danny Jones may have hoped that his drunken kiss with fellow campmate Maura Higgins was a thing of the past.
But with a cast reunion in the pipeline, it’s perhaps anything but forgotten as certain members who took part in the ITV show last year, have been invited on a work project abroad – and this could include Maura and Danny, 39. The pair attended the Universal afterparty following the BRIT Awards ceremony last month and were caught on camera sharing an intimate moment.
However, their drunken kiss sent shockwaves among the entertainment industry as Danny is a married father of one. The McFly star tied the knot with Georgia in 2014.

In a recent interview with The Sun, close pal and fellow campmate of both stars Dean McCullough, revealed that the shamed pair could be set for a face to face.
The 32 year old BBC Radio 1 presenter explained the group have set up a WhatsApp group, which no one has left, as the castmates from last year’s show, in which Danny was crowned King of the Jungle, maintain a close bond.

Asked by the publication if everyone is still getting on, he explained: “No, no one’s left. Everyone’s in it. Everyone’s chatting away.”
He continued: “I just love it because you’ll just wake up one morning, and they’ll just be a picture of Coleen [Rooney] on the school run with the kids, or Richard [Coles] the other day sent us a picture of him at 10 o’clock in the morning in full fancy dress. He was dressed as a nun.”
Dean then let slip that a future project will mean particular faces from last year’s show will reunite, which could include Maura and Danny. He added: “And we are, let’s just say having a reunion, and we’re going to be having a bit more of a luxurious holiday this time.”
It comes after Danny issued a public apology to his wife Georgia and their son Cooper following the scandal. In a statement shared to his Instagram the Five Colours In Her Hair star 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.” Meanwhile, a source close to Danny revealed he was “mortified” by what happened as well as the “awful situation he has put everyone in”.
