EXCLUSIVE: The BRITs saw all sorts of showbiz action and one after-party saw two celebrities lock lips, footage of Maura Higgins and Danny Jones smooching has gone viral
Married McFly star Danny Jones and newly-single Maura Higgins have shocked the showbiz world after locking lips at a BRITs after party – but what does a body language expert think of the encounter?
The BRITs took place this weekend and saw celebs flood the big smoke for the annual music event, but the gossip on everyone’s lips is the footage of Danny and Maura at Universal’s after party event. Footage was leaked of the pair standing next to each other at the party, showing them leaning in for a ‘drunken kiss’ just before 3am.
The pair both starred on 2024’s I’m A Celeb together but it has caused uproar as Danny has been married to his wife Georgia since 2014, the pair also share their six-year-old son Cooper together. Whereas Maura has recently parted ways with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks.
Fans have been picking apart whether it was just friendly or flirty, but now in collaboration https://www.casino.org/uk, celebrity body language expert Inbaal Honigman given her professional opinion.
She told us: “Danny and Maura’s kisses wouldn’t really register as notable for either of them. Whether drunk or sober, the kisses appear meaningless from a romantic standpoint.
“Danny stands in a confident position during the brief moment when we see them kissing – he’s got his hands in his pockets in a chilled-out, secure stance, with his feet a little way apart. This is the pose of a man enjoying the adoration of a fan, not a loverboy trying to ravish a lady. He’s not even leaning towards her. He’s not reaching out to hold her.
“Maura’s hands never embrace him – she appears to peck him on the cheek initially, snowing affection like kissing a younger cousin.
“She then leans in for another kiss, and Danny turns his head sideways, more receptive to this peck. Their lips meet, but they’re still not touching with the rest of their bodies, not hugging, not leaning on each other; there’s nothing sensual between them.
“They do appear to be locking lips, but the fact that their arms, legs, and torsos do not meet suggests that there is less to that kiss than meets the eye.
“In fact, from the little we can see in the dark, Maura’s head recoils from the kiss, as if they bumped into each other. Her head bounces back after kissing Danny, which is odd. The recoiling tells us that Maura’s face wasn’t sticking around for another kiss.”
