DANNY Jones’ McBusted bandmate James Bourne has sparked concern with a post about ‘unhappy marriages’.

While the McFly singer is yet to address the smooch, his bandmate from the fusion group with Busted has hinted at the drama with his latest social media activity.

Taking to Instagram today, James reposted a video of physician Gabor Maté being interviewed by Paul C Brunson.

The interviewee suggests that when one marries, they are often seeking the love and validation they didn’t receive during childhood.

He says: “You always marry somebody that’s going to trigger for you every unhappiness that you ever had in your childhood.

“So when we find somebody to be in a relationship with, it happens on two levels. One level is, ‘I find them attractive, they’re humorous, they’re fun to be with.’

“Underneath it, there’s a looking for the love that we never got in the first place.

“So relationships very much are a matter of growing up together, if that can happen.

“But I guarantee you, when you marry somebody, you’re going to find both your dreams and your worst nightmare.

“That’s profound that we’re all seeking, subconsciously we’re seeking our parents’ dysfunction. Because that’s what we wanted, the love.”

We previously told how Maura and Danny were seen looking close at 3am in the morning.


It was then revealed that the pair  stayed at a hotel until 6am sharing wine.

Pete and Maura, who were friends for years, started dating while he danced on Strictly and she appeared on I’m A Celeb, where she first met Danny, a member of McFly.

Their split was revealed on Valentine’s Day and things quickly turned sour when she publicly accused him of cheating.

Following the Brits, Maura lay low, before flying to Los Angeles earlier this week for work.

Yesterday Danny and his wife Georgia put on a united front as they were seen for the first time after the drama unfolded.

McFly’s Danny Jones and wife Georgia Horsley – Love Story

MCFLY singer Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley’s romance is at the centre of attention after his ‘drunken snog’ with Love Island alum Maura Higgins. Yet when did they meet?

Danny began a relationship with model Georgia back in 2010.

He had been going out with his now-wife for four years when he proposed to her in Cyprus, in 2013.

They married the next August in her hometown in a ceremony which featured musical performances by McBusted and Ellie Goulding.

Danny and Georgia welcomed a new baby boy called Cooper Alf Jones on January 27, 2018.

Yet their romance was rocked in 2025 when Danny and Maura’s boozy 3am smooch at The BRITs was made public.
