McFly star Danny Jones has ‘deeply apologised’ to his wife Georgia after footage showed him apparently kissing Maura Higgins at a BRIT Awards afterparty last week
Danny Jones was spotted with friends just before apologising to his wife for his alleged drunken kiss with Maura Higgins.
The McFly star, who has been married to Georgia Horsley since 2014, appeared to kiss Maura at Universal’s BRITs afterparty earlier this month. Footage from The Sun seemed to show the pair kissing briefly at the bash, held at 180 Studios on the Strand in London.
A second clip emerged which seemed to show Danny and his former I’m A Celeb campmate Maura partying at London’s posh Nobu Hotel until the early hours. Danny finally spoke about the incident on Friday (March 14) when he took to his Instagram story with a statement.
He apologised to wife Georgia, the mother of Danny’s seven-year-old son Cooper, and their family for putting them in “this situation”. Danny insisted they’ll continue to deal with the matter “privately”.
He was spotted spending time with two friends just hours before he released the statement. The star was wearing a black hoodie, sweatpants and a green cap, and seemed to be in high spirits as he was smiling during the day out.
The trio were enjoying a stroll in the park before they got in a car to leave. It came before Danny publicly apologised to Georgia, his wife of over 10 years.
Danny’s statement read: “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.”
Earlier this week, Danny and Georgia were spotted out on a walk in Richmond, south London. The pair, who had not been seen in public since the kiss, grabbed coffee and chatted.
It was reported the pair were having “crisis talks” in a bid to save their marriage. A source claimed to the Mirror that Danny’s alleged behaviour has been a “slap in the face” to her.
Footage of the kiss, reportedly taken just before 3am, seemed to show Maura and Danny standing in a foyer at Universal’s party before their faces get very close. A source claimed: “Danny and Maura seemed to be having a great time.
“They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss. Danny and Maura seem to have a close friendship after meeting in the jungle. They were talking and laughing for ages.”
Sources claim the pair partied the night away at the Nobu Hotel, where they allegedly knocked back wine until 4am before leaving together at 6am. Onlookers claimed Danny and Maura were cosying up to one another for hours before the alleged kiss – the pair were also spotted at Sony Music’s afterparty.
Danny and Georgia met in 2009 at a Miss London event and tied the knot in 2014 in Georgia’s hometown of Old Malton in North Yokrshire. The rocker popped the question during a romantic holiday in Cyprus.
Georgia recently discussed her relationship with Danny on a podcast, saying they didn’t get on at first. She admitted: “He was a bit of a d*ck, and I didn’t really like him.” She said he spent the next year trying to win her over.
“He tried for a year,” she said. “I do like to drop that into conversation every now and again. He wanted me for a year. I said no. I was totally chilled when we went on the date.”
“I didn’t really want to. My mum went, ‘Oh darling, what have you got to lose? Go on, go and enjoy yourself.'” She added: “I said he’s probably going to be a bit of a top sh***er, isn’t he. I just assumed. I treated him mean, kept him keen – without realising. I didn’t know I was doing that.”
