I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Melvin Odoom was left squirming as he was quizzed on his co-star Danny Jones’ “kiss” with Maura Higgins live on Good Morning Britain
Danny Jones’ I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmate Melvin Odoom found himself in an awkward position as he was grilled about the McFly star’s alleged “kiss” with Maura Higgins live on Good Morning Britain.
Melvin stepped into the shoes of entertainment editor Richard Arnold on Monday (March 17) morning and chatted with hosts Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley about the latest showbiz gossip.
Susanna kicked off the conversation by noting: “Two of your campmates are front page news.” To which Melvin responded: “Yes.”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Susanna went on to say: “Married pop star Danny Jones, former Love Islander Maura Higgins. Caught on camera last week. This morning, Danny’s wife, this is according to The Sun, has moved out of her home with Danny Jones and is staying with friends.”

As Susanna continued, she admitted: “I find it very awkward when these stories…” Melvin interjected: “First of all, you guys don’t hold back. Straight in with the hard stories.”
The GMB host replied: “Do you know what, it’s on the front of The Sun this morning and this has been developing over the last couple of days. It’s obviously a private matter for them. You were in the jungle with Danny and Maura.”
Melvin explained: “The things is we’ve all got a WhatsApp group, we all got on in the jungle. The other day was Danny’s birthday and we all wished him a happy birthday. In regards to this story it’s not my business and that’s it. Thats all I’ll say on that. I got on with everyone in there and I wish them all the best.” Susanna later swiftly changed the subject.
Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Danny’s wife Georgia Jones has left their family home after his alleged kiss with Maura. According to the publication, Georgia’s is staying with a friend. A source said: “They’re not together and she is working out what she wants to do.”
It comes after Danny took to Instagram last week to share a public apology, writing “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.”
