Despite fans going wild due to Danny being married to his wife Georgia for the past 11 years, Chrissie didn’t see much wrong with the close encounter.Naked Attraction star Chrissie said: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the kiss. It was hardly a snog filled with passion, they don’t even touch each other loving and just a couple pecks.”I mean..it’s kinda the northern way. We all hug and kiss each other all the time, as a greeting as a farewell and there’s really nothing in it. I’ve been kissed ten zillion times by northern boys when just leaving a pub, and it’s literally just to say ‘bye, see you soon.’Chrissie starred on Olivia’s show recently”And I just think people have read far too much into it all. I’m definitely sure Danny adores his wife.”And I’m definitely sure it was all innocent and chilled. Obviously to watch, it’s not the nicest thing for his wife to see and I wouldn’t like to watch someone I love do that. However, there doesn’t seem to be anything in it other than a peck? It just seems so weird that it’s being turned into a huge scandal.”Danny starred on I’m A Celeb with Maura(Image: More
