Married Danny Jones was recently spotted sharing what appeared to be a brief drunken kiss with his I’m A Celebrity co-star Maura Higgins at the BRIT Awards after-party, raising eyebrows and sparking conversations among fans and onlookers.
The incident occurred early on March 2, 2025, at the Universal Music event held at 180 Studios, London. Both celebrities, who gained fame from their participation in last year's trending reality show, were seen engaging closely with each other as the night unfolded.
Footage from the evening, first reported by The Sun, revealed Maura resting her head on Danny’s shoulder and the pair laughing and talking intensely throughout the night. Witnesses described their interaction as intimate, with one insider commenting, "Danny appeared to be giving Maura advice and at one point he put his arm around her shoulder.” The pair reportedly spent around 90 minutes focused on each other, seemingly enjoying the festivities away from the other guests.
Just before 3 AM, Danny and Maura were captured on video entering the venue's foyer together, where they seemingly shared the kiss. This moment has since been circulated widely, capturing the attention of media and fans alike, who noted, "They seemed to be having a great time before sharing a brief drunken kiss." Reports indicated their enjoyment of the night, with insiders claiming they were still grinning as they left the event alongside former co-star Oti Mabuse.
Interestingly, Danny Jones, 38, has been married to Georgia Horsley since 2014, and the couple shares six-year-old son Cooper. Their marriage has seen its fair share of ups and downs, particularly with Georgia recently discussing the difficulties of parenting single-handedly when Danny was away competing on I'm A Celebrity last year. She described the toll solo parenting took on her well-being, noting, "I was left home alone... It was A LOT!"
It's also relevant to mention the challenges Danny and Georgia faced after Cooper’s arrival, highlighting Georgia’s candid admission on the Made by Mammas podcast, where she reflected on their early struggles with "constant resentment" following the child’s birth. She acknowledged: "When Danny joined The Voice Kids, I had just had Cooper, and it was hard adjusting to him going back to work immediately.” Both have vocalized the necessity of good communication to maintain their relationship through challenges.
The dynamics between Maura and Danny established during their time together on I’m A Celebrity seem to be quite strong. Multiple witnesses have remarked on the depth of their connection, with sightings of the two being friendly both on the show and afterwards. Reports emphasized their camaraderie, mentioning, "They looked like they had a close friendship after meeting on the jungle reality show.”
Maura herself was recently linked to reality TV personality Pete Wicks, but it has been reported they parted ways last month, contributing another layer to the intrigue surrounding her and Danny’s blossoming friendship. Notably, sources reveal Maura and Pete managed to avoid each other during the BRIT Awards, which could add to the emotional atmosphere of the event for her.
At the after-party, Danny and Maura’s playful demeanor, including light teasing and moments of affection, might suggest more than mere friendship, though they have yet to publicly address the events or their relationship status. Representatives for both celebrities have been contacted for comment on the incident but have remained silent.
While some have voiced concerns about the kiss—especially considering Danny’s marriage—others argue it reflects the often blurred lines of friendship within the entertainment industry. For many on social media, the interaction was simply seen as part of the fun of post-awards festivities, summing it up with comments like, "Maura Higgins isn’t the reason Danny Jones cheated, he is."
The aftermath of the kiss and the attention it garnered leaves many wondering about the future of both Danny and Georgia’s marriage, especially amid pre-existing challenges from parenting and public life pressures. The incident could be challenging for their family dynamics, yet it also unveils the relational intricacies inherent among celebrities.
This latest episode serves as a reminder of the sometimes complicated relationships within reality television and celebrity culture, where private moments can quickly spiral out of control, thrusting individuals back under the social media microscope. The question remains: how will this impact the trajectories of both Danny and Maura's careers and personal lives moving forward?
